Looking for records on Gr Grandfather John Peter Donegan (ODunnigan) Born Jan 1 1873 - Place of Origin Sligo Ireland -He left Ireland at age 19 with his 2 sisters. Can not find any ship manifests or church records for this time period. He lists Tulleylyn Ireland as place of birth on Canadian marriage document. Any help in connecting his correct place of origin much appreciated!

The townland is likely Tullylin in Castleconor civil parish. The townland is also called Ballyfeenaun. I checked the 1901 census for this townland and found two Donegan families. The first family is likely your great-grandfather's family.
