Irish in Northumberland
The people, who arrived in Northumberland, were mainly from Lissonuffy. They were kept in a Holding House in the middle of nowhere. They went on to live on estates of Earl Grey, Lord Howick. The names of the people are McDermott, Donoghue, ,McDonnell, Mckeon, Fahily, Brannighan (Drinagh) and many more. I am particularly interested in the Hynes and McDonnell/O'Donnell Family. I have Bridget Hynes baptised Kiltrustan, residence Lissonuffy. father William Hynes mother Mary McDonnell/O'Donnell. They were married in Strokestown by the Rev Michael Mcdermott in 1839. Bridget Hynes married Michael Brannighan prior to this, also Strokestown. William Hynes and Bridget give their place of birth as Longford. Mary Mcdonnell is living in a house with Owen McDonnell and Frances Cox. ? relationship cousin/brother etc. Possible father is James McDonnell. Witness names in Ireland John and Mary Hynes, Michael and Mary McDermott, Michael and Mary Hayden. Any help would be gratefully appreciated.
