Susan Herron

Susan Herron was born in 1885 to Sarah/Sally and Owen Herron in 1885. She was only 19 when she died, per her mother (see letter attached). She died in June, 1904 per the document attached. I would like to know more about this woman and her siblings. Her mother had 2 other children by the names of Michael and John Herron. John was born in 1884. I don't have a death date on him. His brother, Michael, was born, I believe, in 1887. No death date on him either. Susan's mother had2 sisters by the names of Margaret and Mary Anne. Their last name was McBriarty or some derivative of this name. Margaret and Mary Anne went to America, got married, and lived at least for a while in Oregon. Margaret married Richard Adams of Josephine County, Oregon. Mary Anne married a Theodore Schulte. They moved to the east and had their children.I believe Susan'smaternal grandfather's name was John McBriarty and her maternal grandmother was Mary Duffy. I'm searching for their death dates, burial places, wedding date, etc. I do know that Susan was buried in the Stranorlar Catholic Cemetary. I would appreciate any information, as I am a decendant of this family and am planning to visit Co. Donegal within the next 3 years. Thank you very much.

Hi Lin,I am looking at old queries and hope Covid has not put paid to your plans, if you have already visited I hope it went well.

Irish civil records post 1864 (civil records start for all) are free online now to view on the attached site, click on civil and sign in required but it is free, the church records on the site do not cover the area you mention nor indeed only a few in all currently. https://www.irishgenealogy.ie/en/

If you are still planning to come I advise reposting or also trying to check some of the Private Facebook groups dealing with Donegal genealogy or neighbouring counties.

Good Luck

Pat
