Donegal / Re: McBride - Birth records where do I start looking?
« on: Sunday 11 August 13 20:12 BST (UK)  »
Hi there, My Grandfather Hugh McBride was born in Ballintra 17th March 1869 Married Annabella Finch on 28th June 1900. He died 20th September  1939 and is buried in a family grave in St Anne's Churchyard, Ballyshannon.

His parents  (my great grandparents) were Hugh McBride born c1835 Ballintra. Married Catherine Elliott (born c 1841) on the 19th Sept 1860 in Ballyshannon. She died 6th June 1926. 

My great great grandfather - he was also a Hugh McBride born c1810 - I haven't been able to get any more info on him or his wife - I think her name may have been Mary - that's an ongoing investigation.

Hope this is helpful to you  :)

I am a McBride by birth. My father and his father came from Ballintra, Co Donegal. Both my grandfather and great grandfather's names were Hugh. Just wondering if it's the same McBride's you are looking for?  :)

Hi Jan,

The book you want is called 'The Drumholm Graveyard Handbook' by Sylvia Arkison. However, I have just done a 'search' and cant find a copy for sale. Mine came from a bookshop in Donegal town. I don't know what to suggest - unless you know anyone in Donegal!

Regards,

Carol

Hi Carol, Yes, that's the one! I'm hoping a contact in Donegal will get me one, thanks for your help. Regards. Jan

Hi. Does anyone have access to records for Drumholm / Drumholme / Drumhome parish graveyard? I am after graves of protestant ancestors. Katharine.

I was at that graveyard 3 weeks ago looking for great grandparents graves. What a shame you have only just made this post, I could have looked for you. There is a book, correct name I can't recall at the moment, listing all the graves in Drumholm. I am trying to get hold of a copy and if I am successful,  I will let you know title and where u can get it from. Jan
