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
