Anne Hatton/McElhatton b.c.1836

[Maiden Stone]

Hugh Hatton & Susan Murphy? Trying to go through the parish records to look out for names i recognise, a bit hard as its in Latin 

Surnames were in English. It'll be the handwriting which makes you think it's Latin. 
Would it help to make a list of possibles from indexes on FindMyPast and Ancestry first?
After 1864 you can use civil registration website.

The surname Hatton only shows up 14 times in 1911 in County Londonderry- all R.C. and living in Gulladuff (13 born in Co.Derry & a 5 year old born in Scotland). This points to it being one family or extended family rather than ones who have been settled in a district for generations.

There are 20 Hattons in 1901 census in Co. Derry (2 young boys born Philadelphia & the rest in Co. Derry).

Hattens contributed to the building of Lavey Chapel- http://www.laveyparish.com/smhis2.htm

Old Age Pension claim shows Hatton & McElhatton for same family which isn't surprising-

They were McHatton in Griffith's Valuation- surname listing for Maghera Parish makes it easier to spot them- https://www.failteromhat.com/griffiths/derry/maghera.htm

After finding the above records, I'm wondering if there's a mistake in 1901 census and instead of 'Co. Mayo' for Ann Magee's birthplace it should have read 'Mayogall.'

You can see how close Mayogall is to the centre of Gulladuff so it's understandable those living in Mayogall might give residence as Gulladuff-

That was my thinking, aghadowey but checking the census seems to be Henry’s own writing and it definitely says County. Someone else may have completed  it though.
There are Hatton baptisms to about 4 families 1850s and 60s in the parish and some marriages.
The Magees are in Gulladuff townland in 1901 whilst the Hattons are in next townland, Mayogall.

My grandfather's illiterate grandmother living with her blind son filled out and signed the 1901 census form but the handwriting was identical to that of her very literate brother living in the next house

Griffiths Valuation (1850s) shows the name as McHatton

https://www.failteromhat.com/griffiths/derry/maghera.htm

More information here re GV and maps http://www.askaboutireland.ie/griffith-valuation/

These first names occur as fathers’ names in the 1850s parish records. I had already looked to see if Ann was perhaps a sponsor or witness but didn’t find any reference. I might have missed her though as the writing is not the best

Anne was perhaps born too early for parish records which seem to start 1837 so difficult to say whether all these Hattons etc are her extended family or not.

The witness to the 1911  marriage would favour this premise though.

Wow thanks so much everyone for the replies. A lot of info to take in and sort through!

Maybe you'll be able to help me one more thing, I would just like your opinion on.

John Magee married Mary Anne Downey on 25 April 1911, in Lavey. John is residing in Gulladuff and Mary in Drummuck (sp?). Mary's father is listed as David Downey (Farmer), and it does not say that he is deceased at this time. I've also found a marriage for who I believe to be Mary's sister, Catherine in 1903 to Bernard Convery (Father's name, David Downey (Farmer))

Mary Anne Magee died 27th August 1965, aged 88 years so from that I deduced that her year of birth was roughly 1876. 

The only birth i have been able to find is of a Mary Anne Downing on 6th September 1876 to David Downing & Mary Devlin. David is the son of John Downing & Mary the daughter of Patrick Devlin.

There is a David Downey, who died 24th May 1921 in Drummack (sp?) aged 70, a Widower and Farmer, son David was present. I have found 5 births for David Downing & Mary Devlin including Mary Anne & Catherine.

Do you think David Downey, and David Downing... are the same people? Maybe just an error taken down or a name change at some point.

Are they there on 1911 Cenus?
