Searching in Ballyshannon

Hi Cecile,

I've had no luck tryg to find anything to do with Henry's or Anne's parents.  

But I can refer you to a few websites.

Donegal Library Service - http://www.donegallibrary.ie/  They are very helpful with genealogy queries.

Ballyshannon Musings - http://ballyshannon-musings.blogspot.ie/

Donegal Genealogy Resources - http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~donegal/

I will keep looking and if I find anything I will post it here.

I wish you all the best with your research.

Kind regards,

Eimer Shea

Hi Cecile,

I found the marriage cert of Henry Tunney and Anne Mulhern also on familysearch.org but it states that Henry's father was called Own or Owen

Patrick McCollum from Towne; married Rose Elieen Dolan from Bundoran; her father Denis Dolan and his wife Mary O'Laughlin lived on Griffith Valuation tennent farm lot 25 in Bundoran; Denis was a "tenant farmer" leased the land next to N15 from a landlord; later family history says they opened a Bed and Breakfast on the site; Mary and Edna Dolan? searching for a Raymond Dolan who may be related; Patrick and Rose left Ballyshannon/Burndoran in 1895 for america... any infor would be appreciated

Hi,

I had a quick look online for you and found that Denis Dolan and Mary O'Laughlin had two sons that were both born in 1866 call William and Daniel on www.rootsireland.ie

I wrote a few websites on the message above that you could check out.

Kind regards,

Eimer Shea

Thank you Eimer,

For some reason, I have just now discovered your reply!   I still have not made much progress on my search.  I will have to trave to visit Donegal and do some serious digging.

Best Regards,

Cecile

From death records a Thomas Mulhern of the Ballyshannon district died in 1865 (age 80) vol 7, page 3.

Thomas is a very common Mulhern first name. I would be interested to know which townland your Thomas was from, as my own Mulhern family from Mayo was originally from Donegal. 

Owen is the same as John, by the way.

I think you will find information about Tunney’s if you search Griffiths Valuation on the askaboutireland.ie website. The spelling of the surname is Tunny on the valuation and the townland is Tullymore, Parish of Kilbarron, Union of Ballyshannon and Barony of Tirhugh. I know there is a Geraghty family still living in Tullymore who are related to this Tunney Family.
