Joe:  Sorry to be so long replying to you. I have been busy with family from England. I presume your e-mail is from 2014. I don't recognise any names or towns. My great-great grandparents left Ireland in 1836, with three children, then had 3 more in Glasgow. My great grandfather was Joseph Stopford Elliott and he was born in Glasgow about 1847.  Bob Elliott, Canada

Hello Joe:  I was in Letterkenny a couple of weeks ago. Met a Robert Clark. His address is Roughan, New Mills, Letterkenny, County Donegal. Unfortunately he doesn't have a computer.
You might get something from him if you write him. You can mention my name. Bob Elliott

Hello Joe:  James Elliott and Ann Clark were my great-great-grandparents.
James was born about 1801, parents might have been David Elliott and a Barbara, but surname not known.  Ann was born about 1803 . Parents were Robert Clark and Margaret Clark, same surname. First child was Margaret Anne Elliott, baptised Raphoe Cathedral, Feb 1829. Record showed parents lived in Dromore, Taughboyne Parish . I wonder if James and Ann were living with her parents. Child named Margaret follows naming pattern, first child named after grandmother. Second child was Stephen, born 1833, no details. Third child was Jane, born 1835. Married in Glasgow 1855, showed Church Hill as birth place.  Family moved to Glasgow in 1836. Fourth child was James, born Glasgow 1837. Then Robert, born Glasgow 1841. Then my great grandfather, Joseph Stopford Elliott born 1847 Glasgow. James and Ann minister who married them in Letterkenny in 1825 was Dr. Joseph Stopford. Probably Conwal church. Believe he is buried there.
Hope this is of some use to you. I plan to visit Letterkenny in September.  Bob Elliott
