[misty13]

thanks for your reply morrison.  i had just come across their marriage record info and thought i would give it a try for clagan, banagher.....perhaps, john craig was just staying with a relative.  thanks for your help and all the best in the new year.

Perhaps by 1831 John Craig resided in a different townland than Clagan? If he was a labourer that would be a common  practise to move to where the work was.

Tanya,
         Witherows have been in the Parish of Banagher for a long time. I have done some look-ups and found the following.

1831 Census- Hugh, James, James, Joseph, Thomas, William,  all heads of house Aughlish.
                       George, Gallany, Banagher
                       David, Teeavan, Banagher

1796 Flax Growers Register- Alexander, James, Joseph, Samuel, Thomas, William, all Banagher Parish

1766 Religious census- Hans, James, Thomas, William, all Banagher Parish heads of house. 

1740 Census of Protestant householders- James, Thomas, William, all Aughlish, Banagher.

Regards

Thanks for the quick response

Yeah they have...trying to separate the different families out is the problem ;o)

Just another quick question someone may be able to help with, the 1766 census lists Hans Witherow... I have come across this person before...would Hans be short for/nick-name for James? I wouldn't have thought that this was a typical scots/irish name?

Thanks
T

I've see Hans used as a first name in several Co.Londonderry families before 1800- possibly from the Latin form of John- Johannis.

Hi, was reading the other posts there and wondered if there was any records for either Guy or Rosborough in the Teenaght Banagher area?

 Thanks
