The townland of Tyrone consisted of the estate of the St George family, local landowners.. That itself was the land surrounding Tyrone House The road that runs past Tyrone House originally ran through the estate. I believe the records for Drumacoo chuchyard are available. I have not had a chance to study them yet. There are a number of other townlands surrounding Tyrone where people might have lived. The proprietor of the Neilan shop in Kilcolgan on the main Galway Limerick road is a mine of information and may know if anyone of that name still lives in the area. Kilcolgan Castle was the property of the St Georges as well but I believe that came at a later period. The only records at that time are the tithe applottments from 1828. Others may have links to those records. I have been told that there are also landlord records available in Dublin If you are looking for Lunny a search for Donal Lunny maybe of interest There was a famine in the 1830s which was not as wide spread as that of the 1840s. I have been trying to remember what was happening historically at that time. After the war with Napoleon was over there might not have been too much work about. This affected people domestically as there was no longer a need for horses etc and foodstuffs such as beef for the armies. There have bee one or two books published on the period. -----Original Message----- From: irl-galway-request@rootsweb.com To: irl-galway@rootsweb.com Sent: Thu, 20 May 2010 14:06 Subject: IRL-GALWAY Digest, Vol 5, Issue 68 Today's Topics: 1.

Townlands ere exact plots apparently where I believe Fanny Donelly later Lunney as born. There is a database someone sent me of Townlands and it eturned the following information: Townland: Tyrone rea: 267 acres ounty: Galway arony: Dunkellin arish:Drumacoo : Gort rovince: Connaught Which comes from the source that you quoted. http://www.askaboutireland.ie/griffith-valuation/index.xm Trouble is the index is done after my families left Ireland so they on't show up here and John that remains doesn't show up in that ocation as well. :-( http://www.askaboutireland.ie/griffith-valuation/index.xml?action=doNameSearch&Submit.x=37&Submit.y=13&Submit=Submit&familyname=Lunney&firstname=First+Name&baronyname=&countyname=&unionname=&parishname= <http://www.askaboutireland.ie/griffith-valuation/index.xml?action=doNameSearch&Submit.x=37&Submit.y=13&Submit=Submit&familyname=Lunney&firstname=First+Name&baronyname=&countyname=&unionname=&parishname=> There are other Lunney's with same names however, in other areas that re said to be cousins of some sort the latest one to come from Ireland nd at our first ever family reunion last year about I think she said 1967. The area was run by a John Donelly or Donnelly for the Parish of rumacoo and he lived in a Gate at the old Motte. Apparently a Castle or eep there at one point now only empty farmland remains with ruins of a all. Believed both the Lunney and Donelly name in the same Parish area. ohn was the Gate Keeper. Then over in Canada at what would later become the town of Durham, Grey ounty, Ontario I know that a James Donnelly, Military Surveyor came nto the area with the first or second survey team from Port Hope area here I can also find the Lunney family on the 1861 Census. James onnelly had several sons and daughters one of which was John James onnelly but Fanny isn't listed as one of them although she fits erfectly between two siblings and her own daughter Margaret Lunney ppears to be named after one of the known sisters of the James Donnelly amily. John Donnely owned most of the land around Durham, Grey County n the 1878 Ontario Atlas maps at http://digital.library.mcgill.ca/countyatlas/ According to the Atlas he settled the farm II SDR, 45, 150 acres in the ear 1855 and was born in Ireland 1814 other records say 1821 and claim ounty Cavan, Ireland (but I'm unsure accuracy of the source.) Fanny is buried in a family plot that has family members of John onnelly in it one of the oldest graves in Durham Cemetery along with er husband in what looks to be a family plot that predates the rest of he cemetery. Almost visible on Google maps. They have an unidentified symbol on their graves that is repeated on amily graves elsewhere in Ontario. Looks like a shamrock but isn't. I've got the census for Canada if you look on the 1901 census at utomatedgenealogy.com it states she came to Canada 1833. I've not been ble to find a ships list that matches her stated date of arrive. Other amily members say 1834 so sometime in that period. Also believe they ere military men of the 84th Regiment and were in Canada after the merican revolution, recalled to fight Napolean after the War of 812-1814 and then returned back to their land in the recall issued by ol. Thomas Talbot late Nov 1831/32 in the build up to the 1837 ebellion that arrived from Ireland 1832 - 1836 period. Have land ecords in Hope dating to 1798 and a Lt. James and Lt. William Lunney ith lands in Sutton, Quebec 1802. Just need something to link them all together that is solid proof. The ists of Col. Talbot and Col. Simcoe are supposed to be in England or reland someplace. Does anyone have access to these rolls?
