Hi,
I'm looking for information about the McGarrigle and McKearney famalies from Donegal.
My great-great grandfather was John McGarrigle born in Ramelton, Donegal around 1839. His occupation was that of whitesmith.
He married Sarah McKearney, born around 1836, from Donegal. I have no marriage details for them but believe they moved to Liverpool in the 1860s or 1870s.
I would be gratefully for any information/links.
Thanks

Very strange because Ballyshannon is also in Co.Donegal, not Co. Londonderry

Ramelton if 10mins away from Letterkenney, McGarrigle lived all around Ballyshannon and play irish football for Aodh Ruadh. The Ballyshannon site covers a lot of places photo of McGarrigle on this site under OLD PHOTOs.

If you go through www.google.com when the box comes up type in Rodh Ruadh you will see photos of McGarrigle.
Ballyshannon and Co. County Donegal came under the provinces of ULSTER.
Ireland came under four Provineces - Ulster, Leinster, Connaught and Munster
There is a Bachelors Walk in Ballyshannon
Higgins also listed as living in Ballyshannon on the 1939/40 electors list.
McGarrigle are listed on the telephone numbers on the Ballyshannon site.
