This couple are the above mentioned Daniels Parents. On the marriage record her names spelt McColley and that's how she signed it. She gives her father as William McColley they both give there age as full age.They give there residence at the time of marriage ardlough. I have found a marriage for a William Mcauley & Jane Cransie in Balleymoney and some children they had from 1813 - 1819 I am interested in a son they had William who was christened 29/05/1819 as I think this may be Janes father Can any one help me in finding a birth record for Jane & Daniel. A marriage record for William which I am assuming to be around 1835-1840 Or either Jane & Daniel on a census prior to 1901 or if lucky enough Janes Father William on a census. Even in finding Matilda's parents James Donaghey and Mary Jane Mitchell would be great. Any help you kind people can give me on this would be greatly appreciated. Regards Robyn New Zealand

Listers, I am new to this list and am looking for Andrew ALEXANDER. His death certificate in NSW Australia 16/10/1893 gives his birth place as Parish of Glendermott, County Derry, Ireland. Father Jacob Alexander mother Francis ? He married in Parish of Glasgow county of Lanark Scotland 27/11/1825 to a Margaret Falconer and he was described as a soldier in the 50th Regiment. He came to Australia with his family on the "Lady Nugent' as a convict guard. He was a member of the Orange Lodge. Is there anyone out there who knows anything about the Orange Lodge or the Alexanders of Glendermott ? I would be most appreciative of any help and am happy to pass on any information I have on the family in Australia. Regards Judith MacGregor [email protected]

Hi Judith I can't pick up with your Alexanders but there some in the townland of Killymallaght, Glendermott Parish, and I have two instances of Alexander/Mitchell marriages that I will send you. There was both a Masonic Lodge and an Orange Lodge at Killymallaght. Please allow me a week to get my information together.

Thanks Mary looking for Lennox/Hagan,

Hello fellow researchers, It has been several months since I last offered to share some of the more important research items discovered during my study of the Scotch-Irish.  Because of the amount of time required to copy and mail these items I will only be able to do this once a year. ( I make my living selling real estate)  You will find three new items listed below as well as the original items listed in my January post. Rockbridge County, Virginia Notebook, Compiled from Articles by Dr. George W. Diehl as published in the News-Gazette, Lexington, Virginia.  Additional charts and notes have been added as well as a surname index.  Compiled by A. Maxim Coppage III, 242 pages. For a number of years, the late Dr. George W. Diehl contributed historical and genealogical articles to the News-Gazette, Lexington, Virginia, published by M.W. Paxton, Jr.  The clippings from the paper were sent to Mr. Coppage for the "Virginia Collection"  In many instances information may be found showing where families originated in Scotland or Ireland, the places lived before settling in the Rockbridge County, Virginia area and the relationships between various clans or as Dr. Diehl so aptly named this phase of pioneering, "A Rockbridge Seed-box." "A Tribute to the Principles, Virtues, Habits and Public Usefulness of the Irish and Scotch Early Settlers of Pennsylvania," Chambersburg, Pa. Printed by M. Kiefer & Co. 1856, 171 pages. >From the prefece the following:  "The writer of the Tribute contained in this work, had long desired to see from the Historical publications in Pennsylvania, a vindication of the character and principles of the Irish and Scotch early settlers of this great State and their descendants against reproach, as well as aspersion, cast upon them in some modern publications having pretensions to Historical accuracy"....Lots of detail on the early members of the church as well as problems with the Indians and the struggle over land rights during the westward expansion. The Scotch-Irish In The Colonies: 1750-1790 A Thesis Presented for the Degree of Master of Arts by Kathryn R. Aikin, A.B., The Ohio State University, 1933 Contents include Introduction, Early Settlements, Daily Life on the Frontier, Educational and Religious Activities, Military Pursuits, and Political Participation and Conclusion.  Also a GREAT Bibliography, the most important part of any thesis. Listed below are the other books and manuscripts previously offered to the various surname lists that are predominately Scotch-Irish: The Laggan and its Presbyterianism and In the Days of the Laggan Presbytery, 1905,1908, by the Rev. Alexander Lecky, B.A., member of the Royal Sociey of Antiquaries of Ireland, Belfast, Davidson & McCormack, 54 Kings St.  211 pages    On our recent trip to Donegal we met J.B. Shannon, age 90, who assisted in the 1975 reprinting of this book.  He is the last living person who had anything to do with these books and he says they are still the BEST source for Ulster Presbyterian research.  From Lecky I quote, "The lists of names of former generations of Lagganeers, and their places of abode, that are given in the Appendixes, and which NEVER before appeared in print, whilst they may of necessity prove dull reading to those who have no acquaintance with the locality, will not, I hope, be altogether uninteresting to those who bear the same name, or live in the same places..." Fighters of Derry, Their Deeds and Descendants, being a Chronicle of Events in Ireland during the Revolutionary period 1688-1691, by William Young, Eyre and Spottiswoode, London, 350 pages.    One of the most difficult sources to locate, in fact almost impossible.  Months worth of reading and packed with great genealogy.  Contains the following biographical sketches:    1.  The leaders of the County Associations who, with their levies, took part in the preliminary operations and contributed much of the man power for the Defence. 2.  The Apprentice Boys and those responsible for shutting the gates on the 8th Dec. 1688. 3.  The actual Defenders during the 105 day siege (over 1200 genealogical sketches) 4.  Those engaged in the relief of the city A History of the Siege of Londonderry and Defense of Enniskillen in 1688 and 1689, with Historical Poetry and Biographical notes, by the Rev. John Graham, M.A. Rector of Magilligan in the Diocese of Derry.  Includes the Battles of the Boyne, Athlone, and Aughrim and the siege and Capitulation of Limmerick by Lord McCaulay, Toronto, 1869    The historical poems are family genealogies about those who were at Derry and where they came from.  Along with "Fighters of Derry" these two sources contain more actual genealogical information than any others I have seen. Three Hundred Years in Innishowen, Being More Particularly an Account of the Family of Young of Culdaff with Short Accounts of Many Other Families Connected with Them, by Amy Young, 1929, The Linenhall Press, Belfast, 311 pages.    Some of the names included are Young, Hart, Harvey, Cary, Vaughan, McLaughlin, Skipton, Richardson, Knox, Ussher, Smith, Nesbitt, Chichester, Ball, Lawrence, Crofton, Boyd, Stuart and many others. The Laggan and its People, by S.M. Campbell, privately printed. A look at the history of the Laggan (Presbyterian Derry/Donegal) through the eyes of a local historian. Draws on local lore, Abercorn papers, records from PRONI. The Tinkling Spring: Headwater of Freedom, A Study of the Church and Her People, 1732-1952, by Howard McKnight Wilson, 1954, Fisherville, Virginia 542 pages    The best source of information on the Scotch-Irish of Augusta/Rockbridge Counties in Virginia.  Includes the Baptismal Records of the Rev. Craig.  In-depth study of the early families of the Shenandoah Valley. Castle's Woods: Frontier Virginia Settlement, 1769-1799, a thesis presented to the Faculty of the Department of History, East Tennessee State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of master of Arts, by James W. Hagy, 1966, 150 pages.    The most popular of the documents offered, this covers the families who settled in Russell county, Virginia when it was considered the frontier.  If your ancestors came through southwestern Virginia, this document is the history of your family.  Contains information on specific families as well as the farmers, speculators, artisans, and preachers who resided there.  Lots on the Indian battles that were a daily feature of life on the frontier.  Names like Russell, Walker, Porter, Cowan, Houston, Boone, Montgomery, Fraley, Thompson, Anderson, Kilgore, and 50 or so other "Scotch-Irish" families make this an invaluable resource for your family history. The Reverend Samuel Houston, V.D.M., by George West Diehl, 1970, McClure Publishing Co. 125 pages History of the early Virginia Presbyterians through the life of the Rev. Samuel Houston, kin to Sam Houston of Texas fame. The Stirling Merchant Gild and Life of John Cowane, founder of Cowane's Hospital in Stirling, by David B. Morris, Town Clerk, Stirling, Jamieson & Munro, LTD. 1919, 367pages. This is really two books in one.   The first part deals with the Gild. Laws, history, struggle with Unfreemen and with the Crafts, Administration, Merchandising, Conditions of entry, etc. and the second part which is about the life of John Cowane, Dean of the Gild and his contributions to it. Well there you have it.  The best documents I have found.  If you are interested in obtaining any of the above items (I would like to make copies for free but I can't) contact me at [email protected] for  details. Regards, Robert Cowan 525 Harrogate Rd. Matthews, North Carolina 28105

I have just tried to place a purchase order with the PRONI [Public Record Office of Northern Ireland] for its publication entitled, "Guide to Landed Estate Records (in 2 volumes)"; cost is £10.00 per the PRONI's web site. Apparently, however, the publication is not available; whether permanently, I do not know, but I would like to obtain or borrow a copy as soon as possible. Do any NIR-DERRY readers know of a copy available in their public libraries? especially within Canada, because the inter-library loan system would probably facilitate this loan. I checked with AMICUS (the Cdn federal inter-library loan search engine), but that did not turn up a copy. Better yet, I would like to purchase this publication. A search of the web sites at Ulster Books and at the Ulster Historical Foundation has likewise turned up nil. I am particularly interested in the landed estates inventory of records held by PRONI for the Counties Armagh, Londonderry (the Mercers Company, particularly its lease holdings in Kilrea parish), and Tyrone (the Caledon manor & estate). Many thanks in advance, for any assistance offered, Alison Causton P.S. My research interests are KILPATRICK, McKAY, GORDON, and CAMPBELL in Lislea townland of Kilrea parish.

Hello, I'm hoping someone can provide verification of an EARLY family (or MARY EARLY) living in Derry City 1875 through 1880. They were members of Long Tower Catholic Church, Templemore Parish. My grandfather (Patrk. Jos. FITZGIBBON) was placed in the care of this EARLY family after his own parents had immigrated to America in 1875. He did eventually come to the U.S. However, I'm trying to determine if the EARLY's were in any way related to the FITZGIBBON's. Thank you, Rita
