James Devitt was recorded as the father at the wedding of his son Clotworthy Dobbin Devitt to Jane Buck in Dublin 6th Oct 1816. A newspaper article states that James was from Devitt Hall County Down
From the English Census records my 3 x great grandfather Clotworthy Dobbin Devitt was born in Antrim around 1790 and his father was stated as James a Farmer on his 2nd marriage to Jane Willats 07/06/1851
Clotworthy's first marriage was to Jane Buck at St Mary's Dublin in 1816 and they had 10 children. Jane died in 1832 with Cholera. I have traced 4 children who were living in England and a further 2 from newspaper articles.
Andrew abt 1818 died 1841
Anna Maria b.1823
John Furlong b.1824 d. 1905 my 2 x great grandfather
Daughter b.1827
Alicia b.1831 d.1894
Walter Worthy b.1824 d.1910
All of these children were born in Dublin
Does anyone know of a Devitt Hall in County Down??
Regards
Maggie.

Wow!! thank you so much for all the information, however irrelevant it maybe, you really have searched for me and a big thank you for spending so much time.
Clotworthy Devitt birth 1787 in Antrim looks very promising, guess that's all that you have managed to find, but you never know with this little bit of information I maybe able to go further
Thanks and Regards
Maggie
