Donaldson family

Tyrone

Can any one help me find out more information on.... 

1. the McKean family: Harriet McKean (wife of James Donaldson, whitesmith), daughter of Andrew, born Feb 1813 Aughnacloy, Tyrone - died 1881 Clogher Tyrone. I can find no information on Andrew McKean

2. when & where Margaret Donaldson (wife of John Gervan) died. In the 1911 Tyrone, Aughnacloy Urban, census for Sydney St., she is living with her son & is widowed.      Ancestry gives me 4 choices: 1911 June/Aug/Sept in Newtownards.... in 1914 Oct/Nov/Dec in Lurgan....1916 Jan/Feb/Mar in Ballyshannon....or 1917 Oct/Nov/Dec in Castleblayney

3. Jane Donaldson born 6 August 1848 in Aughnacloy... Was she married to a William Davis 18 Nov 1867 In Down?

4. William Donaldson born 6 Jan 1851 in Aughnacloy

The possible deaths that you ask about appear to be under the surname Donaldson. However if Margaret was married to a Mr Girvan then her death will be registered under that name, not Donaldson. The only Margaret Girvan death I can see of the right sort of age was one in Belfast on 19.2.1922 aged 76. If you want the full details it’s pay to view on the GRONI website. It costs £2.50 to view. Neither Ancestry nor the irishgenealogy site have births, deaths or marriages for what is now Northern Ireland, after 31.12.1921. Only GRONI have those records.

The 1867 marriage between William Davis and Jane Donladson does not appear to be your family. She was Mary Jane Donaldson and daughter of a farmer in Tullylish.

I searched the British Newspaper Archive site for any mention of James Donaldson, whitesmith but did not find any articles that mentioned him.
