Funnily enough there are still lots of McALlisters in the area.  My mother in law is McAlister from Desertmartin.

Still working on the 1800s puzzle myself.  Will keep in touch.

I am looking for information (at this early search stage) for my family name (McELhone and Kinghan) and note these christian names 'Henry, Patrick, Mary' - all in my family here in NI.  I wonder is there any connection at all - anyone any advice or information?

I am searching for information about the McElhone family in South Derry.  My family lived in a place called Derrygarve in the townland of Newbridge, Magherafelt, Co Derry. 

Granmother Cecelia Kinghan [nee McElhone] (well known for her singing)
married Sam Kinghan

sisters Dinah, Mary, Margaret, Susanne
brothers Patrick and Jim (died at age of 10)

I know my great grandfather was Charlie McElhone married to Mary Anne Murray.

Any relations or information associated with this family I would love to hear from you.

What is your mother's family name (madden)?  You won't believe this but I live in Tullinkisay, Magherafelt.  I know current families and might be able to share some current information with you.

As one of your respondents has said it is a townland name, not known outside of the 'church' areas.  You mum will now that it is divided into a place called Newbridge, Aughrim and Magherafelt. 

Many names still exist in the area (older family names) like Shaw, Bradley and so on.

I am related to Shaws, previously through McElhones.  I am about to search for McElhone families and hope to find someone with information to share.

Hope this is helpful.

Celia.
