US Lookup Requests / Look Up for Deighan/Deehan family arriving in USA
« on: Tuesday 14 August 18 13:00 BST (UK)  »
Hi, I am trying to find out if Neil Deighan 1852 Co Derry and his wife Mary (McCabe)1854 in Co Down emigrated to America sometime between 1880 and 1887

They had 8 children

Agnes      1878  Limavady Ireland
Ellen        1880       "           "
William.    between 1881-1887 Unknown Possibly USA
Annie.           "          "       "        "              "        "
Mary.        1887 Limavady Ireland
Sarah.      1890 Limavady Ireland
Neal         1891 Limavady Ireland
James      1894 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.

Derry (Londonderry) / Joseph DOUGLAS / LIMAVADY
« on: Thursday 15 September 16 18:41 BST (UK)  »
Hi, I have been searching for information/photo on Joseph Douglas born in Limavady 1910. He married Bridget McGuinness in 1941/42 and went on to have a daughter in 1942. He was killed in an accident at Keady Quarry Limavady (as was his dad Henry some years later). The accident happened in 1945 when he was 35. He left his wife Bridie and my eldests sister A. A as we know her was only 3 when this happened. I know he was buried in St Canices Cemetary Limavady but there is no headstone for whatever reason. My mum and A moved back in with my grandparents in Drumalief and then on to Scotland. She was adopted by my dad Johnny Deighan. I know she attended Roe Valley school for a short time in 1947 as i found  a picture of her in Limavady Past and Present site. I dearly want to obtain a picture of her own daddy as she is now in her 70's and has never seen a picture of him.  I would appreciate any help at all with this. I know he had a sister Cissy and they originally lived in Terrydoo Walker there was also a sister called May McLaughlin and a brother callled James who moved to England many years ago. The only thing i have is a clipping from the local Coleraine newspaper as there had been an inquest into his death but sadly no picture. Thank you
