    3. Have been looking at the Public Records Office in Kew online for CRAWFORDs in Donegal, I've found 10 hits using the 2 searchwords Crawford and Donegal. One each in the following 9 townlands : Balline, Kilbarrow, Drumhorn, Donegal, Drumholme, Templecaron, Raphoe, Templeman and Killenard. There was one for county Donegal. I've spelled them as they were found in the PRO records. Killenard is the result of interest, there seems to be no place spelled Killenard in the Sean Ruad Townland Atlas and wonder if it would be Killymard ? The person who was found by the search was an Alexander CRAWFORD, born Killenard, Donegal. Served in 88th Foot Regiment, discharged aged 23. Records cover 1807 - 1816. Another of interest was the Drumholme listing, this was for an Andrew CRAWFORD, born Drumholme, Donegal, served in 68th foot Regiment, Discharged aged 41. Records cover 1817 - 1836. The PRO site is below, use the 'search the catalogue' button, there is no need to register to search the site. Military records are coded WO for War Office. Use WO in the searchbox for the Department code. http://catalogue.pro.gov.uk/ Any guidance on the 2 names above will be of help in guiding me to finding where more of this CRAWFORD family might be. Might there have been dozens of CRAWFORDS in the area ? A few years ago I received from Ted Hynd's database the information that George ALLAN born 1836, Drumholm, Donegal was the son of Joseph ALLAN [of Polnaranny] and Elizabeth CRAWFORD [of Tievebrack], Donegal. Closest larger town area to those places was Ballintra. George ALLAN is a direct ancestor of mine, but the surnames ALLEN and CRAWFORD stopped me cold, there were just too many to sift through.
