Nothing on the BIVRI#2 disks. Bob Cdn. ============================= Ruth & Butch Hundley wrote: >Hello, > >

Hello, I am new to list and a cousin and I are working on our 3rd gr grands from Co. Donegal, IRE. We know their names and birth dates per census in the US. They came to the US in 1800 with one son or he was possibly on the "way" as they crossed the Atlantic. Facts: David Maxwell b. 1760 - 70 per census records in Pennsylvania and born in Donegal, IRE Margaret (listed as Maxwell maiden name too ) b. 1779 IRE (per headstone) Eldest son b. abt 1800, in US or IRE??? we don't know for sure. There were 16 children born to David and Margaret, my cousin has 12 of the 16 "found" with spouses' names and # of children if any born, we would love to get back to IRE with this couple as well. Would anyone be able to speculate as to a congregation of the MAXWELL name being located? We have no clue as to a town. Is there anyway of looking for a mar. between these two and comparing to birth dates to see what would show up? Possibly birth of James would be logged in somewhere? I don't know what the LDS have as to their microfilms for IRE up in the north. I know that they are just starting with names that we have begun to find in Co. Cork for another relation on my side. Any help or suggestions would be greatfully appreciated here. Sincerely, Ruth in ILLINOIS, USA

The SE end of the townland represents about a half-mile of frontage on Lough Fern, including a pier.

There is one minor road through the townland along the SE (lakeside) end of the townland, and another road forms the NW border of the townland.

Dick Straw's recent request regarding Peter Bradley, a relative from Devlinreagh, a townland in Mevagh Parish, North of Termon in the Rosguill Peninsula area of County Donegal, posed a question - Is it possible to locate townlands on an online map of Ireland. I usually use the URL www.multimap.com which is useful for the six county area of N. Ireland but which fails at any reasonable degree of magnification in most of County Donegal. Thus it is possible to locate Mevagh using this map but it is not possible to locate Devlinreagh. I next tried the online map system available at the URL www.map-ireland.com and after some fiddling located the Devlinreagh townland East of Carrigart on the R245. On tracking East to more familiar territory near Burnfoot it was possible to locate Drumacross and Dunmdrean but not Magheryard Big (where my paternal grandmother was born). Magheryard Big (two houses) is, however, visible using www.multimap.com in this case. Conclusion - where www.multimap.com fails to magnify to townland (and house) level in the Republic of Ireland www.map-ireland.com provides a good substitute for locating townlands not visible on normal Irish roadmaps. Dick Straw should be able to print out a map showing the area where his gg-grandfather was born, to show to the other members of the clan. Other listers should be able to follow suit regarding townlands of interest to them. Most townlands, groups of houses and even single houses are visible on the Discovery Map Series Sheets, available by purchase from www.elstead.co.uk Liam "A bird in the bush is worth two in the Cat" ----- Original Message ----- From: "Richard Straw" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, April 10, 2004 12:41 AM Subject: [DONEGAL] Peter Bradley > Peter Bradley died in Saratoga, Minnesota, USA, in May, 1862, leaving > nothing but an almost illegible headstone claiming he was born in County > Donegal (perhaps in a place called Devlinreagh, although most of the letters > of the town are eroded away), perhaps in late 1780 (dates eroded badly as > well).

Hi I have many Osbornes coming to Australia from Termont Termomongan Tyrone during the late 1830s and 40s. yes I know that we are talking Donegal but several of my McGraths married across the border etc as this area of Tyrone is close to Donegal Osborne....there were at least 2 that were naval doctors and escorted maybe 11 trips of assissted immigrants from Ireland to Australia and finally settled here with vast areas of land mainly in the Illawarra ( today that can be described as 1 1/2 hrs sth of Sydney in prime pastoral cattle and dairy land Christene (Mr Frank Osborne now 81 plays a major roll in the Wollongong Historical Group)

Peter Bradley died in Saratoga, Minnesota, USA, in May, 1862, leaving nothing but an almost illegible headstone claiming he was born in County Donegal (perhaps in a place called Devlinreagh, although most of the letters of the town are eroded away), perhaps in late 1780 (dates eroded badly as well). He came to the United States at a young age, and, according to her own claim, had a daughter in December 1812, probably in Connecticut, who for whatever reason went by the name of Mary Bisbee. She was married in Erie Co., New York, in June of 1831, to Henry Ingalls, and they later moved to Minnesota. He does not appear in any Minnesota census I have found, but is buried in a plot in Saratoga near Mary (Bisbee) Ingalls. A somewhat vague reference in a letter of her son-in-law accepts the relationship, as I read it. If anyone can find the least clue to Peter's existence, I should be most grateful, as he would be my gg-grandfather, and the only known Irishman in the clan. Thanks ________________ Dick Straw Talent, OR 97540

WOW! That would be something to see. I currently have no idea if they would be "my" Osbornes, but I do have an old postcard type photo of The Pillars, Giant's Causeway in Northern Ireland, that was found in my grandfather's family (Osborne) photo album.
