Hi Susan! The best way to find out is from the 1911 census as married woman have the length of time married plus how many chidlren were born/still living in 1911. To locate the right census, you'd have to know the townland they came from - to get that, you'll need something like a civil birth registration, which details that. Here is a birth for one of their children - GALLAGHER, Mary Birth Gender: Female Birth Date: 24 Jun 1873 Registered: Gweedore, Don, Ire Recorded in: Donegal, Ireland Collection: Civil Registration Father: Fergal Gallagher Mother: Frances Curran Source: FHL Film 255876 Dates: 1873 - 1875 You can view the full entry on that LDS film - get the townland and then order in the census. Hopefully the couple would still be alive then - the birth above is the earliest I could find for them, so possibly they were born in the 1840s to 1850s, in which case you may get lucky and find them both in the census - you should find some family in the townland anyway.

Hi: Would any one know if there is a way to find out how many children a couple had? I am trying to verify how many children my GG grandparents' had : Fergal/Fegarel Gallagher & Fannie Curran/Currain. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Regards, susan

Hello, I am looking for any information on Captain Stewart, who in 1826 was living at Horn Head, Dunfanaghy, County Donegal.. If you know anything about the Stewart's in that area, I would be pleased to hear from you. TIA Alice Cochrane

G'day to all, I am researching the possibility that my ancestor may have been born in County Donegal before turning up in Scotland in the 1850s. Samuel ROSS had two children that came to New Zealand in the late 1860s Agnes born circa 1847 possibly at Lossiemouth Scotland, and Andrew ROSS born circa 1841. Andrew had also been a Coastguardsman or a member of the Royal Navy and collected a pension of £13 -12 shillings per annum, which was transferred to New Zealand and paid at Hokitika,Westland, quarterly. I am interested in hearing from anybody who has searched Coastguard records. Regards Peter, in Timaru, South Island, New Zealand

I am trying to break down the brick wall as far as my g g grandparents are concerned. They were all before 1864! I have a copy of a letter from a cousin of my grandfather whose address is given as Priestfield. I can find no trace of Priestfield only Priestown. I am presuming that Priestfield was the name of her farm. According to his birth certificate my grandfather - Francis Starrett was born on Twentyninth March 1879 at Killian in the District of Malin in the Union of Inishowen in the county of Donegal. His father was Francis Starrett - Killian mother Sarah Jane Starrett formerly Fulton. His father was a Farmer. The Entry No of his birth certificate is "428 in the Register Book of Births of the above District deposited in my Office (Workhouse, Carndonagh)." Francis died in South Africa on 8 November 1961. Sarah Jane Fulton's death certificate No 137 in the Register Book of Deaths (Workhouse Carndonagh) states that her date of death was Twentyninth November 1914 Killian Widow of a Farmer, age 69 years. She died of heart disease - no medical attendant and the informant was Mary Ann McIntyre, sister, present at death at Killian. Mary Anne was obviously illiterate because "X" was her mark. The death was registered on 12 December 1914. Will I still find the "Workhouse" in Carndonagh? I presume that it is no longer called the Workhouse but would it be the records office? Can anyone help?

Alice: Can't remember the URL, but if you go internet to Ireland Race Courses or Ireland Race Tracks, you can get all kinds of info, including times, dates, etc. If you are looking to attend a meet, note the dates carefully as not all tracks are open all days. Irish race tracks are fun. Been there, Done that!

How do I go about unsubscribing? Thanks.

Have updated the 1901 Census for Donegal with Townland of Tullinlagan in Inver Only three surnames in 6 homes, with a few to many at the local (if there is a local) one could miss the the house. McClure Colvin Buchanan Happy Hunting Bob Cdn.

Hi all, I've added 1901 Census Head of Family Lists for Fahan Lower (Buncrana) for these townlands: Aghilly & Lenynaran Ardaravan Ballymacarry Ballymacarry Lower Ballymagan Upper & Lower and Clonblosk Ballynarry Bauville, Keeloges & Clonglash Illies Kinnagoe Stranaclea Trillick Tullyarvan Tullydush Lower Tullydush Upper Just like the 1901 Census for Donagh and Clonmany on the site, you just have to e-mail me the Parish / Townland / Number on list / Name of Head of Family and I'll put the record on-line for you. I will be adding more soon. I have also moved to my own domain - http://www.inishowenheritage.com so if you have bookmarked www.inishowen.net / www.iol.ie/~inishowen or homepage.eircom.net/~inishowenheritage please change it to www.inishowenheritage.com I've been able to implement a proper message board which I hope will prove a lot better than the last one - hope you all like it! Regards, Michael Ó Nuadháin

I will be unsubbing next weekend as I head to you-know-where. I'll be back home and online, about the 15th of June. If anyone tries to contact me during the month I'm gone, all I can say is "Good luck". I have a feeling my mailbox will quickly fill with Spam, and shut down, so I wouldn't advise it. Contacting me either before I leave or after I return would probably be more fruitful. Pete Schermerhorn, in the glorious Berkshire hills of western Massachusetts

Have updated my site with the 1901 Tullyvoos /Banagh Inver/Donegal census, only 10 homes. Note that there are NO Census Entries for Eagle Nest Island and Inver Bay in 1901.

Hi, Just got back from a 4 day vacation to FL where it's already hot and humid with a thunderstorm Friday night. Was hoping someone would have information on a Patrick Canny (B. 1822) who married a Catherine Sheerin (born about 1836) in County Donegal, Ardara Parish in 1853. I have no further Irish information on either of them. I do know they came to NY by 1860. If any birth or parent information is found for either one, I would be very appreciative. I think Catherine had a brother named John who also came to NY. Ellen Merritt __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo! Search - Faster. Easier. Bingo. http://search.yahoo.com
