Derry (Londonderry) / Coolnaserran
« on: Sunday 01 November 15 12:56 GMT (UK)  »
I have a civil birth record from IFHF for George Mullan born 16 Feb 1865, giving his address as Coolnaserran Garvagh. I haven't been able to find this townland and haven't found the record in the  Errigal parish records. These particular records, online in NLI, don't appear to be original as they are all in the same handwriting. Does anyone know where Coolnaserran is?

Derry (Londonderry) / Margaret O'Mullan
« on: Sunday 15 December 13 21:39 GMT (UK)  »
Can anyone help with a birth date or even year for Margaret O'Mullan, daughter of Jeremiah O'Mullan and Elizabeth O'Kane. According to her marriage cert she was 15 when she married in Dungiven Church in 1878. On the cert Margaret is called Mullin, her father Mullen and it's signed Maggie Mullan...even though they are actually O'Mullan !! The O'Mullans lived in Ashlamaduff.

According to the marriage cert Margaret was born in 1863. According to the 1901 census it was 1866 and according to the 1911 census it was 1863...so 1863 is probably right.

Henry McGowan is in the 1901 in Carrick-on Shannon,Leitrim aged 60. His occupation is listed as carpenter and his birthplace Cork. I haven't been able to find him in Cork and I don't know where in the county he was born.

Derry (Londonderry) / Hannah O'Kane Garvagh and Francis Boyle Aghadowey
« on: Saturday 10 April 10 16:03 BST (UK)  »
Hannah O'Kane married Francis Boyle on the 3rd January 1871 in the Parish of Errigal. Their 1st child , Patrick was born in Aghadowey 10th Oct  1871 so I assume that they were living there.
 
I think that they also had:
James
Mary
Daniel
Sarah
John
Margaret

I've only been able to confirm that Hannah was my greataunt...thanks again aghadowey...and I don't know anything about the Boyle family

I haven't been able to find the grave of my g-grandparents Daniel(1799-1883) and Mary O'Kane(1816-1888) They may be buried with their daughter Marywho I now know (thanks to aghadowey)died in 1876.They all died in the Commercial Hotel,Garvagh,Errigal parish.I can't find them in the Ireland Gravestone Index

My grandfather's grave is in Glenullin but I don't know if that graveyard was open in 1876.Where were Garvagh people buried prior to this church being opened.
