US Lookup Requests / Re: Look Up for Deighan/Deehan family arriving in USA
« on: Wednesday 15 August 18 09:24 BST (UK)  »
Well Aghadowey, It is a small world right enough. I had 73 first cousins some of them sadly gone now.
I have my grandad William on the 1911 Census in house 5 Cloyfin North, Ballylagan, he was 25 and is down as a Servant in the Curry family house, possibly a farm hand.

Their marriage certificate has them on a page with 1906 and 1907 but their marriage date is logged as 1st May 1905 and a note attached at the end said the record was omitted and had to be confirmed then was overlooked ?? They were married in St Mary’s Bolerin (Ballerin as I know it) and the district is Garvagh. Again the name variation he is down as Willie Deehan

I have a British Army WW1 Service Record 1914-1920 which shows he was in the Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers and at the time they lived in Nicolson Street, Greenock in Scotland. It also says the marriage was in Blees. Listed are a few of the children including my dad. William was a sugarhouse labourer at the time.

Annie I think I saw in Ballymoney as by 1911 she was known as Annie Douglas

I’m sorry Aghadowey, I should have added more info that I already had. I have birth extracts for all apart from William and Annie. The district is Limavady but they all came from Doaghs, Magilligan. I have seen the 1901 census and see William and Annie were working in other houses when the census was taken, both aged 16 which also made me wonder if they were twins? I know my William married Eliza McCallion in 1905 and he then moved to Kiltest Ringsend, not far from Magilligan. Annie went on to marry a James Douglas in 1908 and they lived in Ballymoney. I was told the story of how William had trouble when he reach pension age as he couldn’t prove it because he had no documents, I was told he had been born in USA. I assumed for some reason his parents hadn’t registered him here or in the states. If the American info is wrong then I should still be able to find both him and his sister Annie born somewhere but I can’t. Neil his father was a cattle dealer and died in Magilligan area in 1910. I know of the name variations as I too have come across Deighan, Deehan, Deehanand even Deatha would you believe. I’m grateful for any help.

Ellen        1880       "           "
William.    between 1881-1887 Unknown Possibly USA
Annie.           "          "       "        "              "        "
Mary.        1887 Limavady Ireland

I have birth extracts for all apart from William and Annie and was told by a family member that William my grandfather was born in America then the family had to come back to Ireland for some reason?? I have exhausted all searches. Any help would be appreciated.

Derry (Londonderry) / Mullan/Henry
« on: Thursday 28 June 18 16:51 BST (UK)  »
Hi, Im looking for some information on the following family:

John Mullen who married Fanny (possibly Frances) Henry (Unable to find Wedding Certificate)
At this time they are down as staying in Maine, Balteagh
The children I can find for them are:
James 15/12/1865
Hugh 1/6/1868
John 27/3/1871
Sarah 30/11/1875 on Sarahs birth certificate it states a Jane Lagan was present at birth?


James Mullen the eldest 15/12/1865 went on to marry Margaret J Ferris in St Patricks Dungiven on 29/9/1885 and at that time they were living in Ballyquinn.

James and Margaret had a son Richard who was born on 18/10/1889 in Ballyquinn Limavady

They moved about 1900 to Lanarkshire in Scotland with Richard and his siblings, two more children were born in Scotland.

I have been unable to find out what happened to James's siblings, Hugh, John and Sarah, did they stay in Ireland and have family if so I would love to know who they married and so on.

I appreciate any comments to help in my search.

Sorry, I realise the original post for this was 2013 but somehow I have just came across it. I lived in the English buildings, I would have to search my mums photo box for some pics, we stayed on the left side going in at number 33. We moved out in 1961, the people I remember were the McLaughlins, McKendricks, Dunions or Durnions, Kings to name a few. I also had an Aunt Ellie Cummings stayed in the cottages further down she was Irish as was my mum and dad.  There was a sweetie shop and they used to call the old lady Annie, we went in on the way to St Patricks school for a mix up with 3d. There was a shoe repair shop called Hoeys. The memories right enough. Oh the Gallons stayed in the next block down as well.
