Thanks to all who helped me find the proximity of Brigh to Dromore. Dennis

Just to correct myself for the list. It is hard to judge the direct using the maps on the Tyrone site as they are not in the actual position as they are on the map. I was a little off with my directions Brigh is 2.1 Miles directly West of Dromore according to Google. I sent Dennis some screen shots of it on Google maps.

Dennis, To actually find these townlands, go to: http://www.askaboutireland.ie/griffith-valuation/index.xml?action=placeSearch Enter Dromore, Tyrone, and also Dungannon Upper, and Arboe At the search result, click on a map icon. In the upper right of the map is a slider for switching between 19th C and modern road maps. You can actually find these townlands by zooming 3X and searching around (maybe for a long time!) in the 19 C map. But here's a way to find these quicker. In the modern map, find the intersection of Brigh Rd and B160. The intersection is within the townland, Brigh, as you can verify by sliding to the 19th C map. Slide back to the modern map and follow Brigh Rd east, then Montjoy Rd east, then Carnan Rd north to intersect with Ballynafeagh Rd in Dromore, with details seen by sliding back to the 19 C map.

Brigh is in Ballyclog Parish Southwest of Arboe. Dromore is a few townlands away to the Northeast of Brigh. Use this map for reference. It is actually of 5 parishes. They are all labeled. The thicker lines represent the Parish borders. The thinner lines represent the town land borders. Ballyclog is the furthest South, Arboe just above it to the North. http://cotyroneireland.com/townlands/images/ArboeArtreaBallyclogBallinderry.pdf The see the relation of this area as a whole in Tyrone look at this link. http://cotyroneireland.com/maps/parish.html Regards, Michael Kelly Emporium, Cameron County, Pennsylvania, United States of America -----Original Message----- From: Dennis Wright Sent: Sunday, June 30, 2013 1:15 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [CoTyIre] Dromore I need some help locating a town land on a map.

I’ve looked everywhere for information on the (possible) barque/bark ‘Jane Walker,’ but this is all I have found so far which shows passenger Patrick Skiffington listed. On another link for this date the captain is shown as Captain Robert Whyte, but absolutely no other details about the sailing vessel, the passenger or captain. The age/date seem to match that of my husband’s great-grandfather when we put the pieces together of his life after he arrived in Baltimore, Maryland. This is the best I have come up with for Patrick Skiffington who may or may not “belong” to my husband. Lacking confirmation/documents, it”s time to “pretend” and start to put together the narrative. It’s frustrating after so many years of trawling everywhere that one now has to cry ‘uncle!’ If anyone has a suggestion where I can go for more information on the ‘Jane Walker’ and the passenger list. One passenger list I uncovered indicated that Pat Skiffington was from Ireland, but no place specifically...and this is the pattern in all other documents to do with him after he arrived in the USA.

Hi Loree They do not have any records, just the indexes the same as you can find on familysearch Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 28/06/2013 20:43, Lorena Muldowney wrote: > Is anyone able to access actual records with the free offer from FindMyPast?

Loree, As far as I read the details, they only have the indices. From the landing page: " One of the most important resources for Irish family history is the Index to Civil Registration. In Ireland Civil Registration began in 1864 (non-Catholic marriages were recorded from 1845). Using the volume and page number, and other information from the index, you can order photocopies of the full register entries, for a fee, from the General Register Office. Please note no labelled space is provided on the current GRO forms for Volume and Page number, you can fill in this detail in Section 2 of the form."

I'm looking for a little guidance from some of our Northern Ireland natives/residents. Since my 2nd great grandfather Loughlin/Laughlin/Lochran/Larkin/Luke Donnelly has been somewhat elusive, I'm hoping for some breadcrumbs to help pin him down. I'm familiar with some websites providing details about the distribution of surnames in Ireland. I have not seen anything specific about forenames/given names. A couple of researchers I have corresponded with - not from this board - have mentioned that Loughlin seemed to be a north-of-Ireland forename. FWIW Luke was probably a nickname and Lochran and Larkin were likely NY enumerators' interpretation of a heavy brogue. As we have discussed here previously, spelling was not standardized, so variations were common when so few people were literate. We have discussed previously on this board that there were ~4 "Loughlin Donnelly" in Griffiths - from Armagh, Antrim, Louth and Roscommon. Since Donnelly is such a common Irish surname, I count myself fortunate that Loughlin is uncommon, but I'm left wanting more. I did look at Matheson's Report on surnames for Loughlin/Laughlin, since his forename might have been his mother's or grandmother's maiden name, but that did not narrow my focus much. Any thoughts or suggestions would be welcome. Thanks in advance, Margaret Donnelly

Hello Meegan, The LDS (Mormons) have filmed the Death Registers from 1864 to 1870. If you are able to visit a LDS Familyhistory Library you will be able to at least obtain the 1865 death by hiring the film. I'm not sure the cost of hiring these days, but it used to be $5 in Brisbane. Kind regards Alma, Brisbane. -----Original Message----- From: Meegan and Chris Ferguson Sent: Wednesday, June 26, 2013 12:07 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [CoTyIre] Information of death certs Hi there I am thinking of ordering 2 certificates for death of a possible ancestor.

Meegan, Sorry, but I don't think you will find what you are seeking on older Irish death certificates. Parents' names are only included from 2005 onwards. The older death records from Ireland do not have that level of detail. There is a less expensive option than the 20 Euro price, but the level of detail is the same. It is 4 Euros for a photo copy. The only possible help would be if the person present at death (what we call the "informant" on most US death certificates) is a name of use. The relationship is not usually stated. Sorry that I can't give you more hope. I have an 1866 death certificate from County Antrim. If you would like to see what is included, I'll be happy to email you a copy.

My Great Grandfather was Alexander Bloomer born Belfast 1875. He married Sarah Jane, maiden name also Bloomer in Sept 1896. Alexander's parents - William Bloomer b. 1835 and Ann McQuillan b. 1843 William's father was also William Bloomer. I don't have a birth date for him. Sarah Jane's parents - Richard Bloomer b. 1856 co. Armagh and Mary Burns b. 1856 co. Armagh. Her 2 grandfathers - Richard Bloomer and John Burns. I don't have birth dates for those men. I have been told that one side of the family came from Tynan, and the other side from Caledon. Given that Sarah Jane's father was co. Armagh, I'm working on the assumption that Alexander's family were from co. Tyrone. I can't establish any firm link back from Belfast to either Caledon or Tynan. I would appreciate any help in doing that. Many thanks, Gavin Bloomer
