Hi, I'm trying to research my grandmothers Donegal family.she was Mary Mccolgan , b June 1893. Her parents were Dominic and Margaret (prev McDermott ) Margaret died 1947,I thinks she was in her 80's.her husband pre desceased her by 13 yrs.

I can't find a Domnick McColgan in the 1901/1911 Census for Redcastle. Had your grandmother any brothers and sisters?
-
This looks like them in 1901- looks like 'Dan' on scanned image as well-

In 1911 listed as Daniel-

Apologies around he was called Daniel and his twin brother was Dominic . Thank you both.i wonder if there's anyway of tracing them back any further. The mcdermotts lived in the same area but different town land .
-
If you post the information you have / need, I am sure there are Rootschatters out there who will help you.
-
Daniel's marriage certificate should list father's name and occupation as well as where Daniel was living at time of marriage.

-
no rathmore.. i have her at carrackmaquigley under redcastle. im able to get back as far as 1901, but would like to go on back

Hello Haircut1200,
The Census records you are referring to are correct. Rathmore is also correct in linking Moville to your ancestors.
The great mystery of Irish records is that in some instances there are other layers used in other records to identify the location of a village/townland. A bit like the layrers of an onion.
If you visit the last link given by Rathmore and look at the Maps , Parish and Townlands link with Moville (lower and Upper) in mind you will be able to identify carrickmaquigley.
You will eventually need to refer to the Griffiths valuation lists for Irish records mid 1850s and a good source is Griffith Valuation (http://www.askaboutireland.ie/griffith-valuation/), where all the information Rathmore has directed you to will be invaluable.

why thank you very much... apoligies to you rathmore

ive been having a look through the link you all posted and they are fabulous. lots of info to be had and the photos are great too.
my grandmother apparently left donegal to work in the convent on Pump st in Derry. i found her age 18 in the 1911 census working as a domestic but they spelt her name as Mccallion i think.
she next moved on to Scotland , lived and worked in port glasgow/greenock area , met and married my grandfather Francis Shields from Coalisland co Tyrone.. in 1923/4. my mother Margaret was their 2nd child and was born in Houston in 1929 august 19th.
i wonder if anyone has any info on these... thank you so much

I think this is the information you want :
Daniel McColgan was a son of Dominic McColgan & Susan Doherty (1819 - 1904 ) Tullynavin
Their family : Anne, Ellen ( 1848- 1918 ), Neil ( 1850 - 1913 ),Daniel ( 1851 - 1934 ),
James ( 1851 - ), Catherine (1863 -) & Michael ( 1865- 1947). James & Daniel were twins, there was no Dominic. Michael was my grandfather. Dominic died before 1901.
Daniel married Margaret McDermott ( 1861 - 1947 ). Margaret was from Clar.
Their family: James ( 1887-), Susan ( 1891- 1972), Mary ( 1893-1987), Cecily ( 1896-),
Daniel (1897- ), Michael ( 1901 - 1976), Margaret ( 1902- 1995) & Bernard ( 1906- )
1901 Census House 23, Carrickmaquigley, Redcastle
1911 Census House 17, Carrickmaquigley
I hope this helps

Hi Haircut, I have a Dominic McColgan who I found in Tithe Applotment Books for the years 1828 and 1830. There is a connection with a Peter McColgan who I found with Dominic .
Dominic born 1801 in Mevagh . records showed Mevel, Donegal
Peter born 1798 Loughall, Armagh
I had first found them together in 1841 Scottish Census in Kirkintilloch
I saw your posts and hoping you can help. Thanks, Pat (Culligan) Connecticut US

Do you know in which townland your Dominic McColgan was recorded in Tithe Applotment. Our Dominic is recorded as Tullynavin, Redcastle, Moville Upper, in Griffith's.
Where did you find record of a Dominic & Peter? Not a combination I've heard of.
-
Dominick McColgan Benduff, Gortlary and Kinnaglug, Donagh Parish, Donegal
1827 Tithe Applotment Books
Peter on the same parcel of land
Then in 1830 They're showing a Danl, and Peter, same plot
As I first mentioned I found Dominick and Peter (different born 1830) in 1841 Scottish Census
This was my first post, and after reading copyright records, I'm totally confused. The US laws are
different, this information is considered public records.
I saw your posting, this Dominick born 1803+/1 in Donegal, Birth Parish Mevel, which I couldn't find anywhere. I have no other information on Dominick, hoping for connections here,
-
Interesting. Benduff etc. would be neighbouring parish to where my Dominic lived. I will have to see if I can find 1841 Scottish Census. I believe his father was Neil. Where did you find record for Dominic born Mevil? Could that be mis-spelling of Moville ( parish where my Dominic lived) although would have been born before 1830. 1st child born abt 1846.

Here's what I Have
Dominick McColgan
b 1803 Mevel (LDS records) Served 5th Foot Regiment. (Archives)
Found a marriage
Domnick /Callaghan/McColgan to Hamilton Rankine 5NOV 1826 think Hamilton is possibly Hannah
6 kid
Found this Peter in Army records Archives
Peter Colligan or Culligan
B Loughgall, Armagh
Served 3rd Foot Regiment 1807-1816 discharged age 24. He would have bee born 1783
Do you have any military records for Dominick and I really don't know if the marriage is the right Dominick but the dates seem right. Going to go to LDS center for details, never been there I'll be interesting, next week. My name is Pat
