DONEGAN Family in Fermanagh?

[kingskerswell]

Leslie,
         You suggest that Stafford was born in 1894 and I suggest that he married in 1909. There seems to be a discrepency. Also the time between the marriage and the first child is a cause for some doubt. It may all have been plausable but I have my doubts.

Hello Leslie,

When Griffith's Valuation took place in Fermanagh in 1862 Donegan families were listed in the parishes of Aghalurcher, Clones, Galloon and Kinawley. Stafford families were listed in the parishes of Enniskillen, Killesher and Cleenish

Hi Leslie

My great grandfather's (John Donegan) family moved from Fermanagh to Dublin late 19th century. He was a clockmaker. If you see a Donegan clock there are quite rare. His son was also named John Donegan born around 1909. In turn his daughter was my mother June Donegan born 1936 who moved to England.I took my mother's maiden name. Kind regards David
