Family History Beginners Board / Re: James Warrell (b. late 1700's (1785?) in Co. Donegal, Ireland)
« on: Wednesday 27 January 16 14:30 GMT (UK) »Some Warrell's clearly stayed in Convoy, I see a Thomas Warrill with son David in 1822 in Convoy, this is likely a typo or the original was difficult to read. (Also a son George, think he may have died)
If this is the David who killed Wilson, than his father Thomas and your James could be brothers or such.
Your biggest problem is the lack of records before c1820, there isn't even Tlthe Applotment records for Convoy.
Exactly. I assumed that Thomas and James were probably brothers, but as you said the lack of records certainly makes that a murky assumption at best. Add to that the variations of the spelling of the name, and its tough. Even after moving over here to the states, that name in different branches of the family, changed spellings either by typo's or something. I did find some other records of Warrell's still in Convoy as late as 1845, so who knows, perhaps there are still some there today. The real reason I was investigating this was to see if the Warrell's were actually even Irish, or if they came from Scotland, as my hunch tells me. And if so, how long were they in Ireland? All things are hard to say for sure. Perhaps this warrants an investigative trip to Convoy??? LOL
