DUGAN / DUGGAN
« on: Monday 03 May 04 06:32 BST (UK) »
 I'm interested in any info connected to the DUGAN/DUGGAN family of Tullaghobegley, Donegal

In patricular the family of Michael born c 1832.
He sailed to Australia as part of the Donegal Relief Fund in 1859.
I know it's not much to go on, but it's all I have.

Cheers
Geoff

Hi Geoff,

There was still a Duggan family at Tullaghobegly in 1901. They may have been related to Michael.

Hi Christopher,

Thank you for the 1901 census website dealing with the DUGGAN'S of Tullagohbegley.

I'll see where this may lead, hopefully it may offer up some clues.

Cheers
Geoff

HI,
I have Margaret Duggan, born Donegal about 1847, daughter of Cormack and Johanna nee Coyle. She came to Australia, date unknown and married John Gillespie in Bathurst in 1870. Did your Michael come to this area?

Hi Marie,
Our Michael went to Maitland NSW. Most of, if not all of the Donegal Relief immigrants settled around the lower Hunter region.

Cheers

Hi Geoff

This is a shot in the dark, but would you have come across a Ann Duggan, probably born around the 1820-30's Ireland, what Co - no idea. The only info I have is that she married a Denis Considine, and that they had a daughter Ann born around the 1850's.

Like you not much to go on.

Hi Ashe,
It certainly is a shot in the dark.
They would be about 300 miles apart.
Getting back on track though, I know nothing of Michael's family, and after 15 years looking for them, I doubt I ever will.
Sorry to be such a dead end for you.
Cheers
Geoff

Dear Geoff,
I am a Duggan one generation removed from Tullaghobegley. My father didn't emigrate to America until late 1940's, so if you've checked the on-line graveyard census for Tullaghobegly, that's us on the Duggan headstone with the most names.  As far as we can tell, our family has probably inhabited that remote corner of Donegal since the last ice age. One added complication: my paternal grandfather married a Duggan in a neighboring parish (no relation) so all told I probably have more Duggan relatives than most. Our trouble has been sorting out who belongs to which side of the family. In Irish, the name is O Dubhaigan, but the English spellings varies between Doogan and Duggan, even within members of the same immediate family, which is something to keep in mind when perusing the various census documents. So far I have not come across any Michaels in our direct line, but some of those extended families were quite large. I did notice, however, that the ship manifests for the Donegal Relief Project do include fathers' names in the passenger information. By any chance, do you have that piece of the puzzle? If so, I have a history book that mentions various "Doogans" who were later evicted from specific neighborhoods which may help narrow down your search. I'd be glad to look it up for you. The records only mention heads of households, unfortunately, and the book is likely out of print by now. I bought it when my children and I lived in Falcarragh, the main villiage, back in 1999-2000. Sadly, the senior members of my father's family have since passed away so there's no one left of that generation for me to ask.

Best regards,
Pat
