Does anyone on the list recognize "Dinplaith"? Birth records of Charles Corrigan (20 July 1877) at Berlin, Connecticut give his father's place of birth as Dinplaith, Tyrone, Ireland. I have searched various townland databases, and have also looked at the microfilm of the General Alphabetical Listing of Townlands...", but haven't been able to find it. It is possible that this is a place near the townland of Crilly, parish Templecarn, Co. Donegal, but I would not rule out other locations, among them the area around Crilly, parish Aghaloo, Co. Tyrone, on the Monaghan border. It is also possible that this is a bad spelling. I know from research into my Co. Clare SULLIVAN family that locality names were used in parish registers and here in the US on immigrants' tombstones which included several townlands, e.g., "Clohanes" in the parish of Killard, which includes three townlands. I am wondering if this could be the case with Dinplaith. Is it possible that the county library might have a listing of placenames which are not townlands? Thank you in advance for any advice.

I spent my boyhood and youth in Millbay, Islandmagee, before going, as most of us did, to sea. As kids we played in the grounds of First Islandmagee Presbyterian Church although I was a (reluctant!!) member of Second Islandmagee Presbyterian Church Sunday school. By coincidence, my wifes maiden name is Mawhinney. She was born at Carnmoney Co.Antrim so perhaps there is a connection to your greatgrandparent Mawhinney which I will find one day. We have recently subscribed to a newly started list <[email protected]> (which you may already know about) to assist with our search for her line. Sam Barbour Auckland New Zealand [email protected]

Hi, I just thought that before we begin a massive writing campaign for the name YARR I would write to see if anyone has joined lately that is interested in this name and would like to submit any info that they may have. Thanks Dolly

Greetings Listers I am new to this List as, until now, I have been researching my Cornish ancestors (I was born in Penzance.) However, my father's father, William MAGILL, was born in Millbay, Islandmagee, Co. Antrim on 18th September 1869 Grandpa was the son of John MAGILL and Agnes (Nancy) MAWHINNEY who were married in the First Presbyterian Church, in the townland of Cairnspindle, Islandmagee on 7th January 1864. they had six children: Mary Elizabeth born 28th August 1865 married William DICK 6th February 1889 John born 27th February 1868 lost at sea 14th April 1888 when he fell from the mast of the vessel "Volant" while sheltering in Galway Bay. William born 18th September 1869 married Sarah Ann BROOM 8th April 1894 in Teignmouth,Devon. Sarah born 20th October 1871 died 14th March 1875 and is buried in the Church of Ireland graveyard on Low Road, Islandmagee Arthur born 9th January 1873 married Martha McILWAINE in Liverpool. Capt Arthur MAGILL was once master of one of the ferries which ran from Liverpool to Belfast. Robert born 19th October 1875 married Sarah Elizabeth McDOWELL, died in 1904. According to their marriage certificate, John MAGILL was the son of Arthur MAGILL while Agnes was the daughter of John MAWHINNEY and Mary WHITE. Both families were closely connected with the sea both as crew and owners. John MAGILL was also lost at sea when the vessel "Colorado", en route from Islandmagee to Demerara in South America, was lost with all hands in December 1887. If anyone can throw light on the elusive Arthur MAGILL I would be glad to hear from you. I was sent a copy of a newspaper article about Islandmagee some years ago. In it there was mention of the loss of my great-Uncle John MAGILL and a poem written by someone living there. I did write to the paper at the time, requesting a copy but received no reply. I visited the MAGILL cottage in Millbay in 1996. It was a ruin then but we were able to get inside and look around. I have been told that it has since been pulled down and a modern house built in the place of the two cottages which stood on the site.

I was informed from a history book in Ohio, USA, that my G.G.G.G.grandfather was in Northern Ireland. Left to be educated in England and then back to Northern Ireland and then on to Ovid, New York in America, where he married in 1809 there. I can't find anyone who seems to know if any Dowlings ever resided in Northern Ireland and perhaps what counties to check. I would appreciate any information on whether any Dowling's were found to be in Northern Ireland at one time. Sincerely, Debbie Davidson, in Oregon

Hi folks, Here's another website to check for connections with your families, especially Protestant ones (though due to intermarriage -- you can never tell who you might be related to <grin>). I keep seeing similar queries here to some there so I thought I'd mention this resource. http://www.uhp.org.uk/genealogy/ Click on interest list or post a message. Happy hunting! Linda Merle

Hi, I am just getting started on tracing my branch of the Trimble family in Australia, and have gone back as far as William Trimble born c1800 at Fermanagh, Ireland. He married Anne Galbraith and had 4 children: James Trimble b1833 Enniskillin or Tyrone Ireland Thomas Trimble b1834 ? Ireland Margaret Trimble b1838 Fermanagh Ireland Andrew Trimble b1840 ? Ireland. Most of the above migrated to Australia in around 1853(very approx) I am unable to find any details of Ann/Anne or her husband William Trimble (particularly siblings or parents) and would appreciate any info you may have. I have posted what info I do have on the Family Tree Maker site, the URL is at the bottom of this message.

Hi everyone: Is there anyone researching Leonard's in Northern Ireland. Looking for parents of James Leonard b. 1814, and Lydia Leonard b. abt 1821 - 1825, and possibly other brothers or sisters. Helen Brenneman [email protected]

Mr. Cunningham: I would be very interested in your CD of the Letters of John O'Donovan. Matt Hartigan Safety Harbor, Florida, USA [email protected]

I hope I am doing this the correct way. It is also some time since I listed my interests and new people may have joined. Anyone have any of these names. Sarah.

I have the same question as Michael re the Scotland people who were settled into the "Ulster Plantation" because my Thomas Donnell, a staunch Presbyterian, was b "in Ireland" 1710-15. Were there any of the Donnell surname in that group?

Hello again everyone: As there are always new people joining, I thought I would post my query a second time hoping someone recognizes the information. I am searching for information on my ggggrandfather, John S. HASTINGS, 24 Jun 1824 - 1887, and his mother, father and seven brothers and sisters who came to New York in the US from County Fermanagh in the late 1820s, early 1830s. Three brothers were Hugh John Hastings, 20 Aug 1820 - 12 Sep 1883, Thomas and Richard Hastings. Most of the family worked in the newspaper industry in the US. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Best wishes, Matt Hartigan Safety Harbor, Florida, USA

Can anyone please tell me where I can find this on a map. Researching: Martin, McCandlish, Irvine, Francis. gini in California....You may e-mail me at: [email protected] thank you.

Hi Everyone Has anyone any information on HUGGETT? Barbara

Hi Mary, Well, if he was such a big orangeman, maybe he is mentioned in the lodge histories on the orangenet website: htp://www.orangenet.org . Some of histories are rather detailed. Or just leave a post. If they can place the name they will get back to you. You should check Irish civil registration for him. You can get the indexes and the actual film at an LDS center. I have a good professional genealogist in London -- and I know a couple in Belfast on the internet. However if you spend some time reading about British genealogical research you can maybe find out a fair amount of stuff yourself. Besides www.genuki.org.uk theres: http://www.rootsweb.com/~bifhsusa/ >From the orange website above you can check the English and Australian Orange universes too, so leave them a message and ask them to post to an orange list. My families were all out of UIster too early to be orange (our cousins who remained are now Orange). We were United Irish Presbyterians, intermarried with Irish McGearies, Dowlings, Kellys and such, so I can't say the OO helps me with my family, but I have seen it be helpful to others. I would like to understand how come my Dowlings drifted north to Magherafelt area from Wicklow someday..... Regards, Linda Merle

Hi everyone. Has anyone found anything about the Meaker family? Barbara
