Hello Sile b
Just wondering if Catherine's mother is called Anne?  As being the first born daughter!!  Looking at a certain site.

Sorry, Little Annie I do not know what you mean by “Looking at a certain site”.
I agree with you about the name probably being Anne. I searched RootsIreland civil deaths for possible Anne McLaughlins, Fallask records. The closest I came was Nancy McLaughlin (Nancy is Anne) a widow who died on 13/8/1871 aged 70 but the informant was Henry McLaughlin and I could find no trace of a Henry McLaughlin, Fallask, alive around 1871 except the man who was a witness to the marriage of George Donaghy and Catherine McLaughlin in 1874. I believe therefore that this Nancy may be your ancestor and not mine!

Think you are right in this one !! Wonder if they related ? Good luck on your search Sile b

I think there is a distant relationship between the two McLaughlin Fallask families but I cannot prove it.

Hi Mag
          You have mentioned a John McDaid (Tirk)  could that be Turk by any chance.  I as that because there was a John McDaid Turk drowned in Loch Foyle in 1865 after a collision between 2 steamer The Falcon and the Garland
