Tullyfern parish place name

[Lodger]

I am researching the Kerr/Carr/Keir family from County Donegal.
I have births in the 1860's at Cooladerry, district of Fannett, Registrar's district of Milford. I can only find Cooladerry near Magheradrumman, would this be the same place?
Also, I have a marriage in 1864 at the Fannet Meeting House, parish of Tullyfern. The groom is Andrew Kerr from Kerrykeel. Would it be stretching it too much to say that Kerrykeel and Cooladerry were the same place with different spellings?
Also, what religion would they have been to be married in a Meeting House? The Kerr's of the next generation (from a sibling of Andrew's) were Catholic.

I think it was Quakers who held services etc at Meeting Houses.

Thanks Pennines, that's interesting.

Yes - I wasn't aware that there were many Quakers in Ireland -- not that it's ever cropped up before. This particular Meeting House may have been something different of course.

I have just looked up Quakers in Ireland on Google and there is a Wikipedia article;

It's in Fannet Meeting House........a Presbyterian marriage.
The parish is Tullyfern.

The groom comes from Kerrykeel, a village in the north of Tullyfern parish.

Oh brilliant finds. So Presbyterians used the term 'Meeting House' also. That's useful to know.

My sincere apologies for going down the Quaker route!

Thank you so much for the information, that's a great help.

Registration Districts were nearly always same as the old Poor Law Unions (PLU). If you put MILLFORD into the PLU box it will give you a list of all the townlands that come under it.-

Cooladerry is there under Clondavaddog Civil Parish.

Next look at this site about Fannet Presbyterian Church- "Presbyterians first came to the Kerrykeel area of Fannet in the early 1600’s."

If you use the above townland site and look at townlands in Tullyfern Civil Parish you'll see one called Carrowkeel which may be the place you are looking for.

Last, but not least, use this site to find locations of townlands, parishes, etc.-

This Carrowkeel is a possibilty but it's a very common placename in Ireland.
