Hi all,

I'm trying to find information regarding a James Maxwell and his wife Mary Sheals/Shiels who married 1869 in Down, Northern Ireland.

I have possible children,

Patrick Maxwell b 1870.
Henry Maxwell b 1874.
Michael Maxwell b 1879.
James Maxwell b 1880.
John Maxwell b 1881.
Robert Maxwell b 1890
and three other Maxwell children names not known.
I've had specific info confirming Henry as a son.
Can anyone find anything regarding the other children.

Thanks,

Simon.
