The reason for my reviving this thread is my interest in the Kinkeads of Ballykelly.  I have now gathered much on the family, but continue to track down branches (some of which ended up in Oregon and California).  There is a 2nd cousin of Samuel Marcus Kinkead who married in county Londonderry and who I hope to locate descendants of.  She was Margaret Agnes Watt Kinkead (c1895 - ), daughter of Matthew Kinkead, and who married David Townley at Ballykelly Presbyterian Church, Tamlaght Finlagan Parish, County Londonderry on 1 June 1921.

I'd appreciate it if anyone knows what became of this David and Margaret Townley.

Best wishes!

Might be a co-incidence but here's a gravestone for a David Townley & wife Margaret (unfortunately no ages given)-

Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!

These are the Townley's of Tirmacoy townland near Ballykelly.
They are buried in Ballykelly Presbyterian church, see www.colerainefhs.org.uk for the transcription.
Their sons Davy and Victor used to have a shop/post office in Tirmacoy.
Bought my sweets there many moons ago.

Sorry siledee & aghadowey for missing your replies.  Thank you!

Siledee: Did Davy & Victor have any children?  Are they still in Tirmacoy?  I am hoping to make contact with living descendants.  If you know of any in this family still with us, please send me a personal message.
