I had found Bernard Doonan some time ago but was not able to link him directly to William and Elizabeth. It seems certain that we are distant cousins, if several times removed! I have to admit to being a bit of an amateur in the geneology area and have, perhaps, not pursued some of the leads thoroughly enough. I would be very pleased if you could send me a copy of the record if it would not be too inconvenient. My grandfather ie Margaret Jane Doonan's son, has one remaining daughter in her eighties (my aunt) still alive and she has a great interest in anything to do with family history so she will be delighted with this extra information. Margaret Jane had cousins in Cavan/Fermanagh/Roscommon. I think they were called Brown or Wheatley or both - does this ring any bells? I am living in Carrickfergus about 10 miles along the lough from Belfast. Have been to Durham twice when caravanning in that area a few years ago - lovely city.
