Hi Mary

Thank you so much - this is brilliant information for me.  We have a family story that a Darroch ancestor was hung on the walls of derry.  One story says he was a sheep stealer.  the other is much more interesting and says that he was a double traitor.  I hope to investigate this and find out what his crime really was.

regards

Hi maryderry

Thanks for this.  I'm not sure about their origins but given the marriage info I guess that they were from belfast.

Hi mary - no, i did not know about this traitor Lundy.  i wonder if he might be the source of the story.  all i know is that my gt aunt eileen b1918,  is supposed to have had an ancestor who was hung on the walls at derry.  one story says he stole sheep - the other that he was a double traitor i.e. hung by his own people!

i am only connected through marriage but this seemed like a very interesting tale worth investigating.

Hi Coonwara,

              Just registered with the site and noticed your postings ref Darroch / Lundy. Coincidentally, they are my relatives [ on the Lundy side ] and I have been covering their tree for a while now. I noticed you mentioned being married into the family - could you elaborate a bit on the connection with your wife / partner, please. I have quite a bit of information on Elizabeth Lundy's tree and would be quite happy to share it with you, if you'd like. My name is Matt.

                           Take care.
