Dear Linda, I am looking for the marriage of my John GODFREY, born 1837 in Londonderry. I don't know the wife's name, and she died before 1870 after giving birth to son James GODFREY. The time frame is correct for the London Sentinel collection, so if you could check at your leisure, I'd really appreciate your time. Thanks, Susi Godfrey ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.

Checked both by names and date and nothing appears. However, many people did not put notices in the papers at that time. The Londonderry Sentinel, certainly at that time, covers a wide area from Derry (Donegal, Sligo, Tyrone, north Londonderry). The surname Witherow is quite common around Auglish, Feeny. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Christine Tregonning" <CJTregonning@xtra.co.nz> To: <> Sent: Friday, April 27, 2007 3:19 AM Subject: Re: [NIR-DERRY] Londonderry Sentinel > Thank you Linda for this information. > > You have probably been inundated with requests.

Glad that the semple information is useful. Clare is a townland not a town. If you go to PRONI website (www.proni.gov.uk) and follow links to Parishes you will find maps of parish locations.

Found several notices in Londonderry Sentinel which might pertain to your family. 9 July 1836- On the 1st inst., at Strath House, in the county of Londonderry, Sarah Maria, relict of the late Edward Augustus Edward, Esq. 6 May 1853?- Suddenly, at Pettigo, on 29th April, Robert P. Edwards, who discharged the duties of Petty Session Clerk, at Pettigo, for the last eight years. William's mother?: 29 Oct.1831- On Friday morning, the 21st inst., after a few days illness, Mrs. Semple, wife of George Semple, of Garvetegh, county of Tyrone, Esq. 18 Feb.1832- At Castlederg Church, Dr. Semple, to Miss Matheson, daughter of the late Gilbert Matherson, Esq., of Clare, county Tyrone. This certainly sounds like William: 28 July 1854- On the 24th inst., in Boveva Presbyterian Church, by the Rev.

Thanks again. John Semple's second wife was supposed to have been the governess for his nieces. I think he was the second brother after William. Then came George, Robert and Charles. Do you know where "Clare" in Tyrone would have been? I couldn't find it as a town and thought it might have been a house or estate. Thanks again for your help, Virginia
