I am now looking for information on my great uncle George whose middle name Carberry and my grandmother Lily/Lillie whose middle name was Johnston.When their mother died who was Annie Devlin. Grandmother was sent to a place called Townparks to be looked after. Any help, again would be very much appreciated. Thank you.

Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!
You will need to provide more information before one of our volunteers can help. Do you know the county? When was George Devlin born? Same for Lillie. Do you have Anne Devlin's maiden name? As an aside I searched the subscription site Roots Ireland for a George Devlin with a mother Anne and got no record.

thank you for your quick reply. Lillie Devlin was born on 5th April 1899 and her brother George was born in 1894 but that is all i know about him. Their mother was a spinster so her name was Devlin. I think they were both born in Magherafelt but not very sure.It would be really good to find out where my great grandmother Annie was buried. She died on 6th October 1899 aged 26 in Garden Street Magherafelt. Thank you once again.
I can’t see a birth for George in the statutory records. Possibly he is in the church baptism records?
I notice from Lily’s birth record that her middle name was Johnston. With illegitimate births it was common to use the father’s name as a middle name. So you might have a clue there.
I see from the 1901 & 1911 censuses that the family was Church of Ireland. If looking for where Annie was buried, I’d check the Magherafelt and perhaps Castledawson Church of Ireland burial records (held by the respective churches) to see if there is a record of her burial.
