Dunican Pollagh
Hi,
Im helpinga friend of mine thats coming here from the States in next month.
Her Grandmother was a Mary Dunican bornin Pollagh in February, 1870 but had left Ireland before the 1901 census.
She remembers her mother would write to her mumuncle Lawerence.
Was wondering if this would ring a bell with anyone? It would be nice if she could identify the house if it was still standing.
Or possible their maybe still Dunigans in the area?

Below are other details she sent me.
Edward Dunican (head of family) was married to Elizabeth Wynn
They had 12 children, only 6 living with them at time of 1901 Census. (These dates are written American-style, not Irish)
Thomas baptized 7/9/1864
Mary baptized 2/10/1866 (not my mom's grandmother, possibly died and named second Mary? Not sure Irish did that, but Americans did!)
Patrick baptized 9/15/1867
Elizabeth baptized 8/1/1869
Mary 2/11/1871 (my mother's grandmother we think) Would they have baptized her the day she was born, or one year later? We may be off on birth year.
Honor baptized 12/9/1872
Edward baptized 6/6/1875
Lawerence baptized 2/26/1877 (the uncle my mom wrote letters to...possibly married to a woman named Annie Power July 4, 1921 in Ferbane. My mom has a photo that says "Annie Power 1929")
