Dear Dave, I saw your e-mail of 3 March , re the above asking for information about Divaghy, Denaghy etc. The correct answer is Derriaghy, a parish lying between Lisburn and Belfast, Northern ireland. The name is of Gaelic origin, derived from "derry" meaning an oakwood , and "aghy" or something like that , meaning field, so th eparish name means the field in the oakwood, and indeed it was located in the great forest of Ulster which disappeared around 1650 - 1700. I was brought up in Belfast and have visited the present parish church, where some of my ancestors are buried. i don't know where the other spellings came from but have often seen them, usually from American sources so I suppose that someone not familiar with the district mistranscribed the name from a manuscript sourde. The parish church was derelict for most of the 17th century and the records were kept with the records of the parish in Lisburn, also known as Blaris or Lisnagarvey. We are fortunate that the records of Lisburn and Derriaghy from its rebuilding have survived almost intact, though they are not quite complete. Can you tell me about James and Hugh? I am building up a tree of the Fultons of the Lisburn area (it is the branch from which I descend). I have a sopy of the book "Fultons of Lisburn "by Theodore Hope of which you may know. I have found that it is not complete and there are many more Fultons in the early generations. For example I have a James, born 1690, son of Hugh, born 1650. James had a son David in 1719, but then disappears from the record - could he have emigrated and be the James d.1753? Any information you have would be useful. Hope you can help. Trevor Fulton
