Jane Hegarty - Co. Derry/Scotland
« on: Friday 04 April 14 02:21 BST (UK) »
I am looking for help with Jane Hegarty and her family.  She lived in Moyagoney and was married to James Mullan at the age 0f 17 in 1912.  On the census it says she was born in Scotland.  I have had trouble trying to find her birth on Scotland's people using different variations of the surname which has been spelt a variety of ways.  I even tried using her sister Maggie to see if both those names came up in the same district but to no avail.

Nor can I find her parent's marriage, which I think may also have taken place in Scotland as I have tried GRONI.  Her father was called Hugh Hegarty (b. 1861), and he is widowed by 1911, as he is with his children and his parents on the census in Ireland.

His parents are called Patrick (1837 - 1919) and Nancy Unknown (1831 - 1920).  I would really appreciate anyone's help for establishing any help with Jane and her siblings, her mother's name, and if there are anymore children belonging to Patrick and Nancy.  Any connections would be great.

Thank you.

The 1911 census record shows Londonderry as the birthplace for Patrick and Nancy Hegarty and 50 year old son Hugh, the no. of years married for Patrick and Nancy is 54 and the no. of children born is recorded as 5.

A possible marriage is one for Patrick Hegarty to Nancy Diamond in Greenlough RC Church on 21 February 1857.

Familysearch has the following children to this couple:

Patrick (1864) https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/FRQY-NMZ

Rose (1867) https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/F54M-2ZQ

Jane (1871) https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/F57P-R9G

The RootsIreland website index brings back 3 County Londonderry baptisms for this couple, Jane (1871 - as above), Mary Ann (1858) and, critically, Hugh (1860). Making 5 children in total.
