Donegal Birth
« on: Tuesday 29 May 12 23:44 BST (UK) »
Can anyine help with a birth for Martha Annie Mclean in Donegal approx 1875.
All I know is that her father's name was Samuel, a farmer,  from her marriage certificate to Alexander MacGregor in 1900 in West Derby, Liverpool
She was sometimes known as Annie according to the 1911 census in West Derby.

Yes, I tried Family search but nothing for Martha Annie McLean.
Unfortunately, the link you gave isn't for Donegal.

I wasn't sure if Ballymoney was in Donegal so I Googled the question and it came up as Ballymoney Donegal

Here is an extract from one of the links

Ballymoney is in County Donegal.
The community name means "town of the shrubbery."

Hi, can only find one birth record for a Martha McLean in the Civil registers for Co. Donegal, 1875 +/- 5 years

 Martha McClean born 1870, Stranorlar, Co. Donegal, but her fathers name was John, her mothers name was Lilly

First of all, Ballymoney is the name of 16 townlands in Ireland = 2 in Antrim and one in Donegal. However, the places listed under civil registration are the registration districts- in this case County Antrim.

Secondly, Martha's birth may be registered under another name such as Annie making it more difficult to find, or the year of birth could be incorrect.
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!
