Donegal: McAteer/Mornings/Dalys and McGinns

Hi Chuck,

Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!

Thanks for putting up the message, I will reply properly tonight when I get a moment away from work.

 I was wondering if you would be interested in adding Catherine as an addition on the Ancestors page, with brief contact details perhaps.

https://www.irelandxo.com/ireland-xo/history-and-genealogy/ancestor-dat…

I can add a local landscape photo if you dont happen to have a family photo of Catherine, it will look pretty good and they have added a comment section so that interested family

would be able to contact you at some time in the future.

Hi Chuck,

It would be far more benificial for you to add your GGM Kate McAteer to the Ancestors page yourself, rather than me, I am sorry as I should have emphasised more to you above.

The reason is you will be able to re-edit and add material to it as many times as you want and any time you want in the future. If I happen to add it for you, you unfortunatly would not be able edit it going forward. Most importantly, if someone such as a distant relative sees this profile some time and wants to comment on it, you will be alerted to the message automatically.

I am hoping you will find this easy enough to do, the information you gave in the the introduction above is pretty good and it tells her life story very well. I added to it a small bit (below) but please edit it as you wish. Upload the second photo as it is, and the administrator in irelandxo will edit it as required. I have noticed you dont have a birth year, you will have to add this, at least a rough estimate of when she was born. I will research this further as soon as I can get a chance....Seamus

Catherine McAteer (b.______)

Based on some research, My Great Grandmother, Catherine McAteer, was born in Fanad in Co.Donegal

Her parents were Charles McAteer and Catherine Gibbons, from a Townland called Ballycallan (near Portsalon) in the Parish of Clondavaddog.

Charles McAteer died in 1870, whereupon Catherine Gibons re-married to a Robert Morning from Ballynashannagh.

They had multiple children throughout their time together in Ballynashannagh.

My Great-Grandmother Catherine McAteer, emigrated to the USA in or around 1888. She got married a Roger Daly, formerly of Tyrone County, in 1893 in Philadelphia, PA.

They had a son they called Charles Daly, and unfotunatly his birth happened to be only three months before Roger Daly passed away in 1895 of typhoid at the young age of 25.

Charles Daly would have been my Grandfather.

Catherine Daly (nee McAteer) got re-married to Charles McGinn, also from Co.Tyrone, and they had multiple children throughout their life together.

So that is how I come to have McAteers, Mornings, Gibbons from Donegal and Dalys and McGinns from Tyrone,

All part of my large family, at home in Philadelphia USA.
