Hi Heywood that's really helpful - I didn't realise you could do that with the valuation records! Appreciate all the help.

That's great thanks for your help.

So I think the Marriage and the birth of Patrick make sense to my connection.

My connection is through Mary Kelly born 5 Nov 1850 - on her birth cert it gives fathers name as Daniel and mother as Peggy which I know is short for Margaret so the marriage linked above on 4th Feb 1850 is possibly my connection as is the birth of Patrick.

It is possible that my date of death for Daniel was a typo for the year but if he was 85yrs when he died he'd have been born 1792 which would make him 58yrs when just married and having his first child??

I know the Griffin valuations have 2 Daniels in that area - Daniel Snr and Daniel so maybe the death in 1878 was the senior possibly Daniels father and its just coincidence that they both married Margaret?

There are a lot of Hetherington's around the Tyrone area - Donaghmore as a few but no Hetherton but as you say could be a spelling variation  . . .

Hi Anne

Thank you so much for the info - i have noticed the name Hanna on documents and I have also noticed the name matilda as well!

My dads family all still live in that area so I assumed it would be an easier part of the tree to figure out as those particular names all seem to have died out compared to others.

I have done a DNA test and a connection there claims to have a connection to a Margaret Hamilton married to John Lindsay Earl of Crawford and they had a son James Lindsay born around 1636?? Not sure if that ties with anything you may have?
