Hello All

Forgive me butting in but, I find his thread very interesting and coincidental! My Gradfather was Robert McDaid from Tamnabryan, Dunnalong, he was a bootmaker and ran a small farm, he was married to Chrissie Docherty?

It seems the same names keep coming up! Don't know if there is any connection but thought it was strange the names are very repetitive.

Looking at the Census in Donegal the McDaids & McCallions seems to be neighbours in meendacalliagh.

Hi Triatholon,
You mentioned you've most of the Illies McDaid trees.  Wondering if you can help me?   

My Gt Gmother was Mary McDaid, (Abt 1872, Buncrana) Her parents were Patrick McDaid & Catherine McCarron, married Abt 1869. Mary's siblings were: John 1870; Ellen 1874; Constantine 1876; Catherine 1878; Patrick 1880, Illies; & James 1886. Found family in 1901 Census then Catherine Snr & some grown up children in 1911 Census, Buncrana.

In 1893 Mary McDaid married Hugh O'Donnell (b: 1873 to Williiam O'Donnell & Biddy McLoughlin) then they moved to Glasgow before settling in Greenock.

I've been told by an O'Donnell descendant that my Gt Gmother was from the Folly McDaids.

Do you have any information on this family?
Thanks
