Sorry should have said Townlands in Banagher and Cumber Upper. I’ve got great maps of the Town lands.

Derry (Londonderry) / Re: What is the Name of Father on Marriage Certificate

Thank you for that.  I have been researching Reilly's from the townlands of Cumber and Banagher in the Co Londonderry.  I've looked through nearly all of the BMD certificates and records for the area on Reilly's plus variations of the name.   I've contacted the varies bodies as I have found a few errors with the certificates and had them amended.  And there are also certificates as you say that have different information on them, depends who in the family, neighbour or friend registered the information.  On my grandmother's birth cert most things were registered incorrect on the record.

I found that Eliza Jane Reily and Lavinia Reily were sisters.  Their father was Henry Reily of Tirglassan and John Eakin was Martha's brother. 

- November 1854, John Eakin (maybe a brother of Martha?) to Eliza Jane Reily, father Henry:

- November 1856, John Reed to Lavinia Reily, father Henry:

Thanks for all the information

Thank you so very much for all the information.  Aileen Maud parents had died before she was 7.  And it looks like her eldest sister Lillie Jane who married Samuel Canning in 1918 looked after her as she named her eldest child Canning.  A lot of her sibling had died before Aileen and it’s a very sad fact but I believe her family back in Derry did not know of her death.  Samuel Canning died in 1929 and Lillie Jane died in Jan 1945.  Thank you so much again.

I am looking for any information on the Green Family "Aileen Maud b Jan 8 1908 17 Miller St Derry City, Ireland rumoured to have married a man named Green and went to England and never heard from afterwards".  This was the youngest daughter of William Reilly and Margaret Hawthorn.
I found an Eileen Maud Green in the 1939 register for Barnsley same D of B.,  and a death record for an Eileen M Green 1940, age 32 in the Civil Reg Death Index, leaving 4 young children without a mother.  The 1939 register has written in red "adopt" beside one child and recorded the family name of Boyes, another child has kept his family name but it is hyphenated Green-Spikesley.  I do not know anything about their father.  My theory is that some of the children were adopted and the father has gone to war.  Can anyone add any information.  Thankyou in advance/

Derry (Londonderry) / Decipering the Residence of Nancy Evans and James Montgomery

My 2x Great Grandparents, Nancy and James were married at the Meeting House, Presbyterian Church Banagher, Co Londonderry in 1848.  I am trying to find out where the couple were living when they married.  I wondered if anyone could make out the Townland that they were both living at. I thought it may be the Townland of Tirglassan. Thankyou in advance

Thank you for the posting they make interesting reading. A lot of the Townlands you mention had my Reilly’s living there at the time.

Derry (Londonderry) / Townlands in the Parish of Cumber Upper

I have a query regarding Townland names in 1831.   My family of Reilly's came from the Townland of Kilculmagrandal, my great great grandfather was James Reilly who died at Kinculmagrandal in 1885 supposedly at 100 years old.   Was the Townland of Kinculmagrandal known as the Townland of Coote.
In the 1831 census there is a James and George Reilly registered as living at Kilculmagrandal Townland, Parish of Cumber Upper, Barony of Tirkeeran, Co Londonderry.

In the Londonderry 1831 census returns on Familysearch.  George and James are living at the Townland of Coote, Parish of Cumber Upper, Barony of Tirkeeran, Co Londonderry.

I have tried looking up where the Townland of Coote was but I haven't found anything.  Any help would be appreciated.  Angela

Yes I already confirmed Eliza Jane was a sister but not Lavinia so that was helpful.  Thankyou
