Hi Phyllis: It's a bit confusing but County Tyrone People sent me here because what I want is actually a Townland called Tyrone in County Galway. Townlands were exact plots apparently where I believe Fanny Donelly later Lunney was born. There is a database someone sent me of Townlands and it returned the following information: Townland: Tyrone Area: 267 acres County: Galway Barony: Dunkellin Parish:Drumacoo ?: Gort Province: 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 don't show up here and John that remains doesn't show up in that location 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 are said to be cousins of some sort the latest one to come from Ireland and 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 Drumacoo and he lived in a Gate at the old Motte. Apparently a Castle or Keep there at one point now only empty farmland remains with ruins of a wall. Believed both the Lunney and Donelly name in the same Parish area. John was the Gate Keeper. Then over in Canada at what would later become the town of Durham, Grey County, Ontario I know that a James Donnelly, Military Surveyor came into the area with the first or second survey team from Port Hope area where I can also find the Lunney family on the 1861 Census. James Donnelly had several sons and daughters one of which was John James Donnelly but Fanny isn't listed as one of them although she fits perfectly between two siblings and her own daughter Margaret Lunney appears to be named after one of the known sisters of the James Donnelly family. John Donnely owned most of the land around Durham, Grey County on 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 year 1855 and was born in Ireland 1814 other records say 1821 and claim County Cavan, Ireland (but I'm unsure accuracy of the source.) Fanny is buried in a family plot that has family members of John Donnelly in it one of the oldest graves in Durham Cemetery along with her husband in what looks to be a family plot that predates the rest of the cemetery. Almost visible on Google maps. They have an unidentified symbol on their graves that is repeated on family 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 automatedgenealogy.com it states she came to Canada 1833. I've not been able to find a ships list that matches her stated date of arrive. Other family members say 1834 so sometime in that period. Also believe they were military men of the 84th Regiment and were in Canada after the American revolution, recalled to fight Napolean after the War of 1812-1814 and then returned back to their land in the recall issued by Col. Thomas Talbot late Nov 1831/32 in the build up to the 1837 Rebellion that arrived from Ireland 1832 - 1836 period. Have land records in Hope dating to 1798 and a Lt. James and Lt. William Lunney with lands in Sutton, Quebec 1802. Just need something to link them all together that is solid proof. The lists of Col. Talbot and Col. Simcoe are supposed to be in England or Ireland someplace. Does anyone have access to these rolls? The History of the County of Bruce County lists James Donnelly as Military Surveyor apparently with the Survey team of A.P. Borough P.L.S. August 26th 1848 that surveyed the future town of Durham, Bruce County (later part of Grey County). Len
