Neil Deeney and Margaret Duggan or Dougan

Hello searching for information on my great great grandparents Neil Deeney born about 1835 Letter Kenny Donegal and Margaret Duggan or Dougan born about 1839 Falcaragh Donegal .  They both came out to Australia on the Lady Elmur Bruce in 1859 with the Donegal relief fund.  I have from death certificate they married in December 1858 in Talurreugh another certificate says married in Falcaragh.  Is Talurreugh and Falcaragh known as the same place?  I haven'' found a marriage record or baptism for either.

 

Margaret's parents listed as Annie Price and James Dargan (? misspelt) on death certificate.  Neils parents ? Neal Deeney and Mary Delaney.  Deeney has also been spelt Deeny.

 

Grateful for any information and also happy tp correspond with anyone also on the same search

 

Thankyou

I think Talurreugh was meant to be Falcarragh. Falcarragh is a village in northwest Donegal   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falcarragh   Unfortunately, RC records for that area of Donegal start after 1859 so no records would be available for the marriage.

If you are on Facebook, there is a group dedicated to Falcarragh, Crossroads, Gortahork which you may want to join. https://www.facebook.com/groups/176041022429045

FYI I have McFadden ancestors from the same general area.
