Devlins of Bogside
« on: Thursday 15 June 23 18:25 BST (UK) »
I have an image from my husbands family records showing a great uncle’s record of birth in 1865 giving his residence as as 91 Bogside. I presumed Bogside referred to an area of Derry. What would the ‘91’ refer to?

Is the copy a birth record for a family record?

No it is a record from Ancestry. The format cannot be uploaded but it clearly states 91 Bogside.

Please can you clarify that. What kind of record?
I have just done a general search on Ancestry for 1865 plus Bogside but only have a  return on a Donegal record.
Added - what is the name?

Is '91 Bogside' from 1901 or 1911 census indicating the person was born around 1865? or is it from Derry City Cemetery database?
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!

Oops McGraths of Derry!
« Reply #6 on: Thursday 15 June 23 21:13 BST (UK) »
Sorry I am getting mixed with his wife’s family from Northern Ireland.
Patrick McGrath born 7th March 1865 , 91 Bogside. I have tried looking for old maps to try to pin point the area. I know it is not likely to exist now but I am hoping to visit Derry so would like to visit the location.
His father is Edward and his mother is Isabella.

InLiverpool,
Have we been in contact before via another genealogy site?
I have done a lot of research into these families over the last 20yrs.

I am certain that Edward McGrath was the brother of my direct ancestor and appears on a Scottish 1841 census with my family.
I and a 2C from the same line of ancestry share DNA with 2 of  Edward and Isabella's known descendants.

Are you aware that Isabella Mackey/Macky was married before?
Edward's family came from Molenan and Isabella's were from Kilrea.
As per the newspaper announcement of 1841, Isabella's father was living in Molenan when she married her first husband. Presbyterian marriage.

I have never found a death for her 1st husband nor a 2nd  marriage  to Edward but, I did locate her one of her 2 daughters  from her previous marriage who did not move to Liverpool with her mother and step father.
The elder daughter had a Presbyterian baptism in infancy and a RC baptism aged 12yrs which is annotated as "Convert"
