Isabel, >From the online GV index, this is the only Madden Head of Household living in Drummaul in the mid 1850s: Madden Patrick Sharvogues Drummaul And this is the only Eccles: Eccles Joseph Ballygrooby Drummaul Sharvogues and Ballygrooby are townlands - small rural areas. With two such relatively unusual names (well, Eccles is unusual), living so close, this does seem a likely place for your folks to originate. What were Charles' and Rose's approximate dates? Have you checked Civil Records?

Derry. I believe that's where my ggg grandparents lived. They were Charles Madden and Rose nee Eccles. Hope the names ring a bell with someone.
