I received to day my gggGrandfathers death Certificate:William Campbell died 27/01/1865 his death certificate address is 6 Ferry Row Derry, but Derry city cemetery's records give his address as Hoggs Folly, Derry. Does any one know if Ferry row and Hoggs Folly are the same place? And also do these streets exist any more.  William was Alderman Patrick Campbells Grandfather.

as far as i can find is that hoggs folly was one half of the street & kildara terr. was the other half.
i have ask  around and no one has heard of ferry st. in that area.

Thanks very much Maryderry that is a great help. Believe it or not I received Williams son Thomas Campbell,s death cert today they lived in 137 Bishop Street. Thomas was alderman Patricks Grandfather.  It is great to talk to people with local knowledge.  It is helping me to build a biggerpicture of myancestors.

bishop street would not have been to far from hoggs folly,anyone (catholic) from  those area's would have attended st.columba's church also know as the long tower church.

i don't think hoggs folly is no longer but i will find out,but bishop street still is. i myself was born in a street just off bishop street.

 Wow thats brilliant thanks Mary.  I will now be able to get further info from Longtower church.  for baptisms & Marriages etc. It wil be nice to find out a little more about the women.  Pity the civil registration  marriage certs only give the fathers name.

Do you know how Bishop Street got its name ?
