Welcome Bernieboop
Do you have any other names of the family.
The Census of Ireland for 1901 and 1911 is free online but not having much luck finding Annie.
Only Fisher I can find in Drumboghill is Mary http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Donegal/Dawros/Drumboghill/485424/
There are no Fisher's there in 1901
Haven't found Portnoo in either census yet.
There is a 3 year old Annie Isabella in Ardara in 1911 which isn't far from Portnoo.

The 2005 electoral rolls for Donegal shows a Fisher in the location you have posted.

I cannot post the result in open forum, I will PM you.

Thank you to the two members who replied (one as a PM) I believe I might have already found a Birth Uncle which is amazing but need more confirmation....as, I was a "secret" birth baby....
I really do not have any other family names of siblings but the info I received in the PM on the Fishers of Mullavea, Portnoo, was the address I had except I had been given the spelling of Mullerea is this another place in Portnoo?
Any further help is much appreciated and Thank You! :)

Hi! Also looking for ODonnell family members maybe a Gerard/Gerald grew up with the Fisher family in Portnoo?
Thank you :)

Rootschat isn't a forum for tracing living relatives and there's a strict 'no living people' rule in regard to posting (see Help pages- link at top of page) so we can't post details unless you are sure this person is deceased.
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!

Hmm, well my gg-grandmother was Annie Fisher of Ardara (you can see her family in the 1901 and 1911 census).  I imagine there might be a relation.
