Diane Bland, I know something about Junkin. Without digging out my records, this is what I remember: My gggrandfather, William Godfrey, owned land with several others, including Ringing Junkin, in the Griffith's Valuation of about 1855. I also have a copy of a court case involving this land between Junkin and Godfrey dated about 1862. What do you know about Ringing? Susi Godfrey

Sharon D'Anna, How did you get a copy of Brian MItchell's Irish Passenger Lists 1847-1871? I''ve been dying to see if my ggrandfather is listed there. He was in the US by 1873, so I think he probably came over in 1870-1871. Would you consider doing a lookup for me for John B. Godfrey? Thanks for all help! Susi Godfrey

Shannon: Several days ago I received a digital picture of the gravestone of my ggf James Glendinning from the church cemetery in Park, Co. Claudy. I was informed by my couisin from Waterford Co. that Park is 11 miles southeast of Dungiven. My maps does not show it either. Another couisin tells me to get an Irish ordnance map. Bill Glendinning, Maine, USA

Sharon Park is etween Claudy and Dungiven, Try Ordnance Survey Discovery Series Map 7. They are available by mail order if you can't find a stockist. www.elstead.co.uk is one I have used and found reliable. You will be looking for other leads to follow. Local to Park is Learmount which was home to the Beresford family. I haven't done any research in this area but it might be worth looking for rent rolls or estate records. The Ordnance Survey Memoirs of Ireland series gives a lot of background info You need the volume for West Londonderry Vol 28. I flipped through it just now and found 'The name O'Gormely is very frequent in Stranagalwilly..' None of these books is indexed. There are a lot of Gormleys in the Claudy area and just over the border between Tyrone and Derry. I went to school with some of them.

I am so excited to get yet another kernel of info. Just got a copy of Mitchell's Irish Passenger Lists 1847-1871. I had known that my ggf, Thomas Gormley was "from Derry." Have his intent to become a citizen which lists him as emigrating to New Orleans from Derry 31 Dec 1852. He moved on to KY and fought in CSA Army as one of Morgan's Raiders. This I knew. What I found in the Mitchell book is the manifest of the ship, the Mary Ann (J & J Cooke) for that trip. My Thomas Gormley is on it. He listed his address as "Park." Now I am in the dark. I know that the Gormley name is found around Raphoe, Donegal and into Derry. Cannot find "Park " on any map that I have. Can anyone help, please? Sharon D'Anna Annapolis

Dear Leigh, Might I suggest that you contact the Orange Lodge. My ancestor, Andrew Alexander, was a member of the Lodge and came from Derry. If your James Ellis was a member of the Lodge then he would have belonged to a Lodge in the Yass area. It's worth a try. I discovered that Andrew Alexander smuggled the first Charter for the Orange Lodge ashore in Sydney, sewn into the lining of his uniform by his wife.

Hello there Leigh: I am a real live Ellis (ex Londonderry) maybe I can be of some assistance. This whole genealogical thing fascinates me .. and even your NAME , although spelled differently is similar to mine, Evelyn Lee Ellis. Unlike many folks who are very organized in their research, I am not, and don't make the search a second "career". But you were asking about the Ellis' in Donegal. There was a Phillip Barbazon Ellis Born 8th May 1806 in Donegal, father, was Arthur Ellis and his mother was Jane Barbazon. Phillip apparently had a brother Arthur, born August 1, 1815. Phillip Barbazon Ellis and his wife "Mary" had a son, George Ellis, christened 10 December 1853 in Burslem, St. Paul, Stafford, England. I would also point you to the Parish of Templemore, i.e, St. Columb's Cathedral, I know that there were many Ellises married, Christened, etc., there, and YES , they would probably have been members of the Orange Order. Interesting that your ancestor left a picture of the Battle of the Boyne in his will, because the incredibly beautiful stain glass windows in St. Columb's Cathedral also depict the same thing. I note with great interest how your Ellis family also suffered the same affliction as the rest of us, we were known as the "Ellises with the wandering feet). I don't have time to write further as I must get to work. But have a great day :) Lee Ellis

Hello Everyone, I am new to the List. I have just found out from an army researcher that my gt. gt. gt. grandfather James COLLINS was born in the parish of Lissan, in or near the town of Moneymore in 1780.. He enlisted at Cooks Town in the County of Tyrone in December, 1803 and served for nearly 14 years. In 1820 he married Margaret Smalley (Smellie) in Preston Lancashire. I would like to hear from anyone who is researching the COLLINS family from the above area in Ireland. Regards, Anne in Bolton, Lancashire.
