OK, here goes. Apologies to anyone who gets this on more than one list, but I am running out of places to look so am trying everything I can. My GG Grandfather was Frederick Beattie. We are trying to trace his birth record. On 26 June 1847 he enlisted in the Royal Marines at Killybegs. We have his service record, marriage in 1861 to Ann(e) Willey immigration to Australia and record of death, but nothing prior to enlistment. He lists his parents as Alexander Beattie & Margaret Miller and place of birth as "in or near the town of Hollybrook, Parish of Killaghtee, County of Donegal" If anyone on the list has any suggestions or can locate any information, I and my father's family would be very grateful. TIA Jenny
