I believe there were 13 children and one of them was my great grandfather Thomas who immigrated to the US in 1869 (b 1852 in Co. Down) ultimately marrying Maggie Ferson (also of Co Down b 1860 and immigrated to Iowa in 1880). Married in 1882. Anything would be greatly appreciated!

I have only basic info, no supporting data: Hamilton Lewis O'Donnell Born: 1810 Omagh, County Tyrone, Ireland Died: 20 Nov 1866 Wife was Emily Jane Todd. His parents were Hamilton Lewis O'Donnell and Jane Stephens. Any info on them would also be great. His son, also Hamilton Lewis O'Donnell (with no supporting docs) he was born 1 Jan 1850 Omagh, County Tyrone, Ireland. He came to Australia sometime before 1872 when he married Annie Brown(e) born 14 Jul 1854 Rolessay, County Tyrone, Ireland (again, no supporting docs). As the records aren't online, I'm having a bit of trouble with this branch of the family. Any assistance would be most helpful. I have a bit of information about this family once they reach Australia. Cheers, Michelle Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

If you don't know the townland for each of the births, order the films to an LDS Family History Centre. The actual entries will give the place (i.e., townland) of birth and the townland of residence of the child's father and the informant (the person notifying the Registrar of the birth). With the townland, you can look into many more records, e.g., various land records, estate records, etc. I hope that helps.

Robert was born about 1850 in Co. Tyrone. He married Sarah Catherine White Oct 26,1898 in Pettigo Presbyterian church. They had one daughter that I know of, Matilda Jane Semple born about 1899.
