I am looking for any info on my grandfather Frank McLaughlin who lived around Killeter in Tyrone. He had siblings, I don't know all their names but some of them. Brothers Joe, Jeremiah and sisters Susan. That's all I know. All born between 1890 and 1900 plus or minus some years. My grandfather Frank married Anne Laverty from Co. Donegal. Any info would be much appreciated

Anna,
Here’s Frank’s marriage certificate which tells us his father was Robert McLaughlin, a farmer, and also that Frank was born 13.11.1892.
That then leads to this birth in Golandun:
Family in 1901. The precise townland is Golandun (Dolan):

Some probate abstracts for the family:

All the above died intestate. So no wills, but there should be probate files in PRONI in Belfast (when it re-opens).
The farm was the entire townland of Golandun (Dolan) (447 acres). In Griffiths Valuation in 1860 it was being run by Robert McLaughlin in partnership with Daniel McMenamin.
