I am looking for information on my 3 times great grandparents
Thomas Donaghey died 1836 Quigleys Point County Donagel
Mary McQade(?) Donaghey died 1830 Quigleys Point County Donagel
Their son John was born there in 1827
John McCullogh died 1833 County Donagel
Mary Dunleavy McCullogh died 1896 not sure where
Their daughter Ann was born in 1827
Any and all information will be greatly appreciated.
Dear Linda
Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out and apologies for the delay in getting back to you.
I could not locate a marriage record for Thomas and Mary nor baptisms for any of their children. Parish records for Donaghmore do not begin until November 1840 so there will be no records for anyone in the parish before that.
I also searched for a marriage record for John and Mary McCullogh again without success. Burial/death records were not well kept in churches and as the couples were married prior to 1864 there will be no civil record of their marriage nor civil birth records for any children.
It seems that there were Donaghy family in Donegal in the 1850s but none in this parish and none in the 1901 Census under the District Electoral Division (DED) of Whitecastle:
