Looking for Devanney/Devenney family
My family came from the Diocese of Raphoe and the Parish of Conwal & Leck. I got all that information from my Great Grandfathers birth/baptismal certificate. He moved from Donegal to Glasgow around 1905 and was born William Devenney from Magheralask, Glenswilly, Co Donegal on 2nd March 1885. On this were his father Charles and his mother Catherine (nee Martin) name along with the sponsors at his baptism Daniel & Rose Devenney.Charles married into the Martin family and was originally from Killymasny just up the road, but i am struggling to get any further details on this. 1 thing i do know is my Great Grandfather changed the spelling of my surname when all his children were born in Scotland. His surname was Devenney but he made all his sons and daughters ( 8 in total ) as Devanney's and therfore the reason my name is spelt that way today. My Great Grandfather was murdered in my town Hamilton,Scotland in 1971. what I hope to achieve from this message is to trace my roots further, but also try and find any family connections who are still living in Donegak to this day.Many ThanksDaniel
