Bauville, Keeloges and Clonglash is a townland in the Parish of Fahan Lower, in Inishowen, Co. Donegal and it is where I was born. It is bordered by the townlands of: Trillick; Tullydush Lower; Meenkeeragh; Druminderry; Cleenagh; Ballymagan and Clonblosk; and Aghilly and Lenynarnan.
The families of the townland are: Doherty Moor; McGee; Callaghan; Doherty Dubh; Bradley; Duffy; McLaughlin; Doherty Lenan; Barr; and McDaid.
All these families are interconnected as are families in the adjoining townlands.
In the other townlands these families include Blieu; Coyle; Dixon; Doherty Corney; Doherty Big Hill; Doherty Meenkerragh; Doherty Ownes; Doherty The Kid; O’Donnell; Granny and Kearney.
I am in descent from two of the families of the townland and also of families in the adjoining town lands. I am interested in all the families and connected families. I am seeking to put together a full record of the families of the townland of Bauville, Keeloges and Clonglash and would be glad to hear from anyone connected.

Hi,
If you go to the on-line Proni Wills site and enter Keeloges and Clonlash you will see the basic detail of two Doherty and one Bradley wills.

I saw this post about the wills at the Proni site. I'm not familiar with the site and tried to find what you were referring to. I don't see where I can put in place names. I'm interested in seeing the Doherty and Bradley wills you are referring to. Could you maybe provide a link?

My family are the Bradleys from Meenamullaghan (Big Hill) which is often referred to as the Illies. I'm currently doing an analysis of the 7 households that are there in the 1901 census.

Hi,
If you enter the name of the townland where it says "FULL ABSTRACT" all the wills for that townland will come up. See http://applications.proni.gov.uk/DCAL_PRONI_WillsCalendar/WillsSearch.aspx

Thank you :)

My Great grandmother was Winifred (Unity) Bradley who lived in Clonglash and died in 1951 at the age of 103 years. I remember her from when I was a youngster living in Derry and would visit Clonglash on a regular basis, first by train and later by bus. I think I must be one of a diminishing number who knew someone who was alive during the Famine.

mention on this site. come down the pages and click on Fahan Lower, plus this site could help you.

Hi Rathmore,
I'm familiar with that particular site. I knew five of William and Unity's nine children. Mary Anne was my maternal grandmother.
By the way, my father was from Knocknagree, just up the road from Rathmore.

My late Grandma Maggie McGuinness (Nee Madden) was from townland Rathmore, Bundoran, they were flax seed growers for the linen industry.

Do you have any info on the Dohertys of Druminderry?
Mary Bradley daughter of Charles Bradley married a Bernard Doherty of Druminderry in 1866. Bernard's father was Bryan Doherty.
I can't seem to find out a lot about either Bernard or Bryan. Lots of other Dohertys but not these two.
Bryan appears in the Griffiths for Druminderry and he could be Bryan Faddy Doherty. There are also Shane, Shane Owen, Elmie and Bar Dohertys in Druminderry as well.
I think the Bernard Doherty in the 1901 Druminderry census is probably the one I'm looking at but so far I can't connect him with the rest of the Dohertys that live there.
He had four children that I know of.....Sally Ann 1868, Margaret 1871, Mary 1873 and William 1868 but I have never found any marriages for them so perhaps they all died as children. I believe that his wife also died very young.

OK.

Doherty of Druminderry
Have only just come across the above. My greatgrandmother Fanny Doherty born around 1850 or before was from Druminderry. Her father was Con (known as “The Kid”) and her mother was Nellie Granny.
I have no information on those whom you mention.
My 97 year old aunt is having a DNA test the results of which might help.
-
Who did your great grandmother marry?
mab
-
She firstly married Daniel McDaid (cannot say where he was from) and secondly married Henry McLaughlin my greatgrandfather he to was widowed.
-
Hi there
I a researching McDaid & Doherty families in Clonglash. I am interested in any details for the Fanny McDaid (nee Doherty) who married Henry McLaughlin you mentioned. Do you have information on any family from her first marriage? Do you have a date of marriage for the second marriage?
Thanks
Marie

I'm hoping you're still following this thread Annie. I'm very interested to see how you've been getting on with compiling the Clonglash family tree. My family are Bradley's from Clonglash. My grandfather was Michael Bradley, son of William Bradley and Unity/Winifred Gallagher. Unity was from Glenvar. I haven't been able to get back beyond William's father John Bradley (born 1809) and don't have any of his siblings or his mother.
My second cousin P. Murphy posted in this thread a while back (his granny was my great aunt Mary Ann Bradley). My mother's sister Anna Bradley married Willie Doherty (Dubh).
I have a public tree on ancestry.com

Con Doherty Druminderry
I wish to correct an error stated by myself above
My GGGF Con Doherty was not known at "The Kid"
Phil Doherty who was married to his daughter Ellen was known as "The Kid"
I do not have exact dates for any of the above.

Ellen Granny Sarida Strarudda
Ellen Granny my Great Great Grandmother was born around 1820.
In 1901 she was living with her daughter Ellen Doherty and her husband Phil Doherty (The Kid) in Drumaderry. She had died by the time of the 1911 Census.
I was always told that she was from Sarida.
Two weeks ago on a visit to Keeloges I stated that there was no such townland as Sarida but that the area was in the townland of Foffanagh. This provoked a discussion I produced the Ordnance Survey (org. 1834) of the Buncrana area and Sarida was poined out to be in the place described as Strarudda. There would be very few people in Buncrana that would be aware of such a spelling.
I subsequently came across a reference to Sarida being a "Sub Townland" of Foffanagh, I do not recall this term before. The other subtownlands being: Foffanagh; Kinnagoe Hill; and The Rock.
-
My great grandmother's family came from Foffenagh aka the Rock and I figured out that Sarida was a subtownland through BMD records I had found. It made sense when I looked at the whole picture and the connections.
There is site that's very helpful in determining subtownlands. Here is the link for Foffenagh.

A very belated welcome to RootsChat :)

These are presumably your Bradleys in the 1901 Irish census.

Here's the property known as Strarudda in the townland of Foffanagh and east of Druminderry Upper. It's the Historic Map 6 inch B&W (1837-1842) on GeoHive.

Would love help to piece together the remaining members of my Porter family!
Sarah Porter (abt. 1841-1920) married James Quigley (1841-1916) in Inishowen in 1868. Sarah was living in Keeloges at the time of her marriage and James in Tullydish.
The Tullydish letter of 1879, written by Sarah (Porter) Quigley, refers to her brothers Samuel (1825), Henry (1831), and written to my 2nd. great-grandfather John William (abt. 1841-1919). She tells of the old Nancy Williamson of the Bankhead is dead and buried.
All three brothers emigrated to New Brunswick, Canada from Buncrana.
Sarah's parents are Robert & Anne (Williamson) Porter, I have not seen a record to confirm their mother's maiden name.
Would love to know of any additional siblings, and the birth place of their parents.
-
James was from Tullydish and Sarah from Keeloges married 07 may 1868. Fathers: Robert Quigley and Robert Porter. Witnesses: George Baldrick and James Quigley.

There is a Facebook group called South Inishowen Family History. If I were you I'd join and post the above info. Lots of local researchers on there. Someone might have the answer :)

I looked on Rootsireland as that is the one place online that may have records that go far back enough. I didn't see any births or baptisms.
I found one CofI marriage in Lower Fahan. Thomas Porter of Lr Fahan, father Robert, married Mary Quigley of Lr Fahan, father John. on 04 Apr !853. Could be a brother to Sarah.
Another is William Steele of Lr Fahan to Annie Porter of Lr Fahan, father Robert, on 04 Oct 1864. A sister?
The Quigleys stayed in Tullydish but there are no Porters in Beauville, Keeloges and Clonglash in 1901.
mab
-
But having said that if you look at the Griffiths Valuation of 1857 there are no Porters in Bauville Keeloges and Clonlash.
There are two Robert Porters. One in Ballynarry and one in Tullydish Upper.
A Robert Porter of Tullydish died in 1873 aged 76. Could be your Robert.

Do you know if Mary "Meenkeeragh" who married Henry "Wee Harry" Doherty of Big Hill is related to Patrick Doherty (c1813-1899) of Meenkeeragh who was married to Sarah Doherty (c1819-1907)?
mab
-
I'd be interested in the answer to that question - I believe my great-grandmother Susan Doherty (who married John 'Owens' Doherty of Tullydish) was the sister of Mary Doherty of Meenkeerragh who married Henry Doherty. A lot of DNA matches strongly suggest this. Any info you can provide would be appreciated.
AB
-
AnneMB
I hope Magh Itha will reply as it was a theory that was suggested and it would really resolve a lot of DNA matches for a few people :)
Henry Doherty that married Mary Meekeeragh is my second great grant uncle. My 2nd great grandmother was his sister Nancy Doherty that married Charles Bradley.
I have your Susan on my tree as Mary's sister as well. Do you know of any other siblings?
Mab
-
Yes, me too! I don't know of any other siblings - that's why I was interested in the Patrick you mentioned. I didn't know about Nancy - now I can add her to my tree too. Thank you.
AnneMB

AnneMB
There is another theory and I wonder what you think about it.
That John Doherty "Owens" from Tullydish was brother to Cornelius Doherty "Nahor" from Tullydish.
I haven't really looked into it a yet as I'm still working out the Dohertys of Meenkeragh :)
mab
-
Yes, I've been looking at this theory too - they're definitely related but maybe cousins rather than brothers, according to my DNA results. We should confer - are you on a site where we can private message?
AnneMB

You can do it on here after posting I think 5 times.
Give it a try... little green button on the left side.
