I am a descendant of Bridget Farren. She was married in Moville to Michael Carey, son of Sarah Deehan and Michael Carey, on the 17th of December in 1893. They lived in Greencastle. He was from Ballymacarter and she was from Cartrassna? Her father is listed as James Farren. Looking for information on the Farren family.
I found the 1901 and 1911 census records for Michael and Bridget in Carrowtrasna townland. Note: The 1911 record was incorrectly transcribed as Carcy on the National Archives site. I could not locate a James Farren in Carrowtrasna in 1901.

Hi,
Although I am not from that area, I do know that there are still quite a few Farren's in the area.
Here is a useful website for finding records in Moville and maybe you could contact them.
