Derry (Londonderry) / Boom Hall / Boomhall information
« on: Wednesday 02 June 21 14:11 BST (UK) »
Would anyone know if there are records online or held locally which would have information about workers at the Boom Hall Estate in Londonderry in the mid 1800's ?
In the 1901 census my Great Grandfather John Dogherty (45) states he was born in 'Boom Hall'. I know the dates cant be relied on as being totally accurate, but I'm guessing John was born circa 1856.
In Johns marriage record from 1879 his father is named as Richard Dogherty.
I've recently found a marriage record for Richard Dogherty (widow)- who could potentially be my GG Grandfather- who states his residence is 'Boom Hall' at the time of his 2nd marriage in 1865.
His occupation is 'labourer', which is why I'm interested to finding out if there's any additional information available anywhere for workers at Boom Hall.
