Hello All,
I would dearly love to obtain just a little more info about a Rev. William ROBINSON who married Margaret DUNN on 7 Aug 1832 at the Donagheady Church of Ireland. Notes I have for the marriage are
07/08/1832 William Robinson, Margaret Dunn, Rob[ert] Mountgarrett and John Dunn Tamlaght Finlagan [Co Londonderry] & Donagheady .
There was a Rev Wm ROBINSON of Boveagh. After they married they moved to Wm's home at Foyleview Farm Ballykelly. It appears they had no children as Margaret willed the farm to Andrew DUNN, her nephew, who was born abt. 1830 in Ballyskeagh Co. Tyrone to John DUNN.. His wife was Maragert ADAMS dau. of David Adams of Primity Glendermott.
Margaret Robinson's death certificate reads..." date of death 15 Aug. 1888 at Ballykelly Tamlaght Finlagan, Co. Londonderry. Widow age 90, widow of William Robinson, farmer. Cause of death- Senile decay, 1 year, no medical attendant. Informant- Andrew Dunn, nephew, in attendance during last illness.
Some data that I have obtained
1831 Census Index for Co Londonderry and William Robinson (Margaret's husband) is listed.
