Derry (Londonderry) / Re: Cain / Kane

Hi Anne Marie

Thank you for replying to this thread.  I have to confess that I've not been able to do much since I posted this info.  I have tried looking up on LDS and got some info from it but due to the many spellings I've not yet sat down and tried to piece it together.  I have Auchenloo as the place name.  Whereabouts in Lanark was the coalmine as William's descendants were also coalminers in Wishaw and surrounding area.

Kind regards

Nichola

Dear Kevin

Sorry for such a long delay in replying, life took over family history!!  I'm afraid I don't have any further information for you on the Cullen side in Ireland.  I wasn't aware of Peter's wife name until I got your information via my cousin.  Thank you for the information you found on the Cain side.  If I do come across anything on the Cullen side I will let you know.

Thank you for finding this information out for me, I'm very grateful.  Could you point me in the direction of where I might find an older map of the area, so I can work out where the church might be or if it still exists?  Many thanks.

Thank you, and also for the other part to Family Search, I didn't know that was there.  I'll have a look and cross reference as you suggested for the marriage.  My Gran is quite keen to come over and visit Londonderry, which is why I am trying to find exact locations.  Thanks again.

Thank you for that, I was having trouble understanding Townlands as it is new terminology for me.

I did try looking up Ballykelly Church, but didn't realise there were several.

Thank you in advance.

Hello, I am trying to trace a William (Jane) Cain B 1823 ish in Auchenloo, Derry.  I know from his death cert that his parents were John Cain (Fruit dealer) and Sarah McLaughlin.  He first appears on the 1861 Scottish census, but I know nothing about his time / family in Ireland.

Could someone please point me in the right direction as to where I might find out some more info?  I've tried familysearch but not yet got anything back (if I have done it correctly!!).  Many thanks

Derry (Londonderry) / McGinnis/ McGuinness
« on: Wednesday 02 March 11 21:11 GMT (UK)  »
Hello, I've just started tracing my Irish ancestors and getting in a pickle with my geography!!  Not also helped by the variation in spelling of the surname I'm researching.

I am tracing Catherine Jane McGinnis and found on familysearch an entry for 26 Feb 1876.  I know this to be the correct entry as her parents are John McGinnis and Margaret Ann Hegarty (also known as Peggy Ann Hegarty/ Haggerty).  It only mentions her birthplace as Londonderry.  It says her father was born in Tartuakelly, Tarnlaghtt, Finlagan. 

I know from the 1891 Scottish Census that she has more siblings, but I am having trouble trying to find their birth entries.  I have found a couple under the surname McGuinness but not all of them.  One record did mention Church Ballykelly, Civil District Newtown Limavady, Sub District Tamlaght Finlagan, County Londonderry.

Would it be wrong to look for other births and even a marriage entry for her parents at Church, Ballykelly?  If so could someone advise how I can do this or another way of tracking down her siblings?  Many thanks
