What a shame that every census we've found just says that the parents came from Ireland and not an actual town or district.

Indeed but have we seen any of the originals? Or just ancestry transcriptions? Actual place may not have been transcribed [she said hopefully....]

Yes, I've said for a while I think it is her reply #44  . Tempted to spend my pension on some credits 

Sorry Josey so you did (reply 45) it's moved so fast I can't remember back that far

Ah that's a point,no I think they've only been freebies and no one has spare credits for the actual census images. Over to you Oranges

I can't keep up here  what happened to Donegal as a place of origin?

I can't remember us even finding a clue as to where they came from Ireland?

[josey]

I just couldn't find any Arthur O'Donnell/McDonell/Donnells with father John baptised in Donegal 1845 +-5 yrs

Donegal was certainly the marriage county.
