Further to my last of 3 May 2006:

"Interested to contact any researchers of James Love Miller and his wife
Margaret Rafferty of Coleraine or Limavady, Co Derry, Ireland. Their known
children were: Catherine b. 1868, Elizabeth b. 1869 and James b. 1871.

Margaret Rafferty may have been sister of my great-grandmother Mary
Rafferty, later Mann."

Got to the Registrar's research room in Dublin today and located to marriage
registration of Margaret RAFFERTY with James Love MILLAR on 29 April 1865.
Married in the Parish Church at Coleraine by A B Irvine.
Both of full age and unmarried. James Love Millar was a baker residing at
New Row, Coleraine. His father was Alexander Millar a plumber. Margaret
Rafferty was a servant residing Commons (Long Commons), Coleraine. Her
father was Michael Rafferty a pensioner. They made X marks. Witnesses were
Joseph King and Jane McCurdy.

A Jane McCurdy was also witness at the marriage of Mary LAVERTY with my
great-grandfather William Mann also in Coleraine in 1865. I am now convinced
that Mary's surname was RAFFERTY and was a sister of Margaret.

Descendants of James Love Millar and his wife Margaret Rafferty are
genetically related to me.
