    1. [DONEGALEIRE] William Hyland, Constable, Breenagh, Donegal

    3. My wife's great grandfather was William Hyland originally from Tipperary, N.R., a member of the Royal Irish Constabulary stationed in County Donegal from 1866 until he retired in 1888. His presence in Breenagh, Letterkenny District, in 1877 is confirmed with the birth of Catherine. Her known siblings include Mary, James, William, John, Saddie, Arthur, Alice, Anne, and a half brother, Justin. We visited the site of the R.I.C. barracks in Breenagh in 2002 and hope to return sometime in the next few years. Catherine was living in Shankill Ward, Belfast when she met and married Eugene McMullan also from Shankill Ward. Eugene was born and raised in Sevenagh, Loughisland, County Down. They were married in Holy Cross Church in Belfast. When Catherine and Eugene emmigrated to the United States in 1912, William Hyland was living in Belfast. . If anyone has information about this family we would really appreciate sharing with you. Ernie and Pat (McMullan) Kraut Nashua, New Hampshire, USA
