You could well be right, aghadowey - I see a John Toal aged 70 on the 1901 census, in Crossmore, Armagh, living with his son, Edward (also a family name!). Google tells me that Crossmore is about 14 miles from Kilmore (Richill) parish, where my Hughes ancestors are definitely from, and where the Hughes-Jowel baptisms are recorded.  I will amend this title of this post to reflect the possibility of the name!  Thank you  :)

You amended it to Toal not Towel ???
I see my link only brought you to the search page, sorry, it clearly doesn't link to the results.

Thanks Sinann - I was able to check your finding (I got that £1 offer for a month to findmypast this afternoon!) of John Towel in Kilmore, Armagh - I meant to amend the title to reflect both possible spellings (as aghadowey suggested, it could be Toal also) - will do so now!  I think this John Towel could be Eliza's father - more digging required!

(as aghadowey suggested, it could be Toal also)

She was pointing out how the letter T is written by the priest, as in Toal.

My Opps as well, she did say it,
I read the name as Toal on the link Sinann posted.
but than said
I think it's Towel- see John Toal on the page opposite.

Anyway I think it's Towel.

Here's a link to the marriage of this same couple in October 1845 - James Hughes, and Eliza Towel, or Farrel as Ancestry thinks this entry might be?

And a baptism in August 1846 for the same couple:

Think this says John of James Hughes and Elizabeth Towel?

I read the name as Toal on the link Sinann posted.

but the next was for this entry-
http://registers.nli.ie/registers/vtls000632601#page/17/mode/1up

This is the link to the whole page with Sarah's sister Elizabeth's baptism (lower half of left hand side)

Thanks for the suggestion of Towel, Sinann - I will have a look at those!
Thanks all for help so far - I am determined to crack this one!

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