Hello, This may not be pertinent but there is a townland in the parish of Dungiven called Ballymoney and it is in Co. Londonderry.
Regards

Good point. There are actually three townlands named Ballymoney is County Londonderry: in Aghanloo Parish, Bovevagh Parish and Dunboe Parish.

thanks this seems to be right her daughter said she mentioned living in balleymoney and also Derry ,and both birth and marriage details are in Co Derry so we have took the chance and ordered the certificates ,the marriage certificate will confirm it as we already have the name of alberts parents thanks again for all your help

Let us know when you get the certificate details to see if we can pinpoint the location, find any more information for you, etc.

P.S. marriage certificate will list residence of bride and groom at the time of the marriage which may or may not be the place they were born or where their families lived.

recieved the birth certificate for bridget today the details are
Bridget Bernadette Ward born 8/4/1914
father William Ward labourer
mother Mary Ward formerly Rodgers
looks like her place of birth was Ballymagowan but it is hard to read so could be wrong

[aghadowey]

Will try to figure out the townland but what's the registration district (should be on the certificate)?

[cath310859]

will contact my friend and get back to you thanks

Never mind- there's a Ballymagowan townland in Templemore Parish, Co. Londonderry (Londonderry Poor Law Union, Barony of North West Liberties of Londonderry)- portion is included in City of Londonderry.

Possible marriage for the parents:
William Ward married 1903 Co. Derry to Mary Jane Rodgers

P.S. Ballymagowan means 'town of the canons'
