Hello,Annie,
Sorry i dont have any info [at present ] on the mc Laughlin side. But ,my great grandfather Patrick harkin
 married Mary Mc Laughlin ,Fallask in 1864[according to my information].i am at present living in clonmany
and have got sidetracked into researching the Harkin connection.--interesting--.For instance your relation
'Mary and her husband Patrick Harkin were evicted with their young family in the Meendoran evictions of
1882 . I discovered my great grandmothers maiden name by talking to a gentleman who is very much alive and well and living locally .if you are resident in Inishowen afew hours in the right company in the North Pole
Bar might answer a lot of your [our] questions.
Good luck
Pat.

Hi Big Pat
I wish i. could just pop up the rd, but i live in Birmingham uk . I have seen a picture from Cock hill of a family grave, McLaughlin Fallask but has no names on it as it is very old.
Anne Harkin nee (McLaughlin) has only 2 children left Phil & Bridget i (we) still have cousins in Derry hope this part of the family tree open's up a new line for you
                                                                                                    Patrick

hi, annie,
sorry, dont know of any photos of Mary.i have seen a photograph of Charles[her son] and his wife-
Mary Gibbons from Meentiagh Glen. In the 1901 census Mary was recorded as being the head of the house in Meendoran .Her age was given as 60.  I'm just getting back into this for the winter so I hope to dig up some more info as regards death,marriage records etc.
good luck,
Pat.
