James McCallick and Bridget Brazor

Hi,

Inver has a really active Historical Society.  One lady called Helen Meehan has written a book on the history of Inver Parish. - http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~hiflyte/Book_List/Meehan.html

Her book is fantastic.

You should also check out Donegal Genealogy resources - http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~donegal/

I hope this this helps you in some way.

Kind regards,

Eimer Shea

The name is currently spelt as McCallig (pronounced as McCallyig).

There is a face book page called belong to Inver, try looking it up (although it is just for the village, the Inver parish is very big).

I appreciate your response very much and will look at both references. We are so looking forward to our trip to Ireland .

 

All the best,

Judy Kirkpatrick Kersch

 

There was a James and Kate McCallig living KIlmacreddan Inver Parish, born about 1840 in 1901

A son of John McCallog, James McCallog b: 1848 married a Bridget Brazor b: 1847 daughter of James Brazor on 25th Feb 1868 in Inver. Both were single at time of marriage

There is a Catherine Brazier age 40 in the 1901 Census for Cloverhill, she is a widow, her widowed mother Nancy Mulhern is living with her.

A Thomas Brazer Denis McCahy, James Frazer, John Mc Collig were farming land at Cloverhill or Drumbeg Inver in Griffiths Valuation  about 1857 

I feel that the family you are looking for are from Cloverhill also known as Drumbeg, Inver, the name of the Townland gives it name to Drumbeg House. The Montgomerys who came with the platiation built the house in 1700s
