The above is full extent of the information available at http://applications.proni.gov.uk/DCAL_PRONI_WillsCalendar/WillsSearch.aspx

You would need to contact the operators of the site to determine whether they hold any further information

Number of children
I would appreciate anyone's oppinion as to whether I am correct in thinking that Moses Lowry's will indicates that he only had six children (see http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~donegal/moseslowrywill.jpg)

Hi greatgran graham,

Just to clarify. The will I refer to above is that of Moses Lowry (d 1850) who I believe is the father of Esther Graham (nee Lowry).

Below are the only details I could find on PRONI on the will of Esther Lowry's 1st husband, William Graham.


Title :       Date of Death :    29 June 1873
Surname :    Graham    Date of Grant :    21 December 1898
Forename :    William    Reseal Date :   
Registry :    Londonderry    Effects :    Effects £999
No Image
Full Abstract :
Administration of the estate of William Graham late of Moneen County Donegal Farmer who died 29 June 1873 granted at Londonderry to Esther Chambers of Moneen Widow.

I have been unable to find the will of William Graham's father, Matthew Graham.

Thank you Joe, my mistake. The certificate does state "in the District of Londonderry". I will correct my previous post.

I have been unable to locate a birth record for Isabella however the marriage certificate of Isabella Graham who married Karl Hansen 20 July 1881 aged 21 shows William Graham and Hesther Lowry as Isabella's parents.

The marriage certificate of Fanny Graham who married Henry James Williams 23 February 1884 aged 21 shows her parents as William Graham and Esther.

I see from the Earl Dalhousie Passenger list at http://srwww.records.nsw.gov.au/ebook/list.asp?Page=NRS5316/4_4802/Earl%20Dalhousie_22%20Jul%201878/4_480200120.jpg&No=14

that the Fanny and Isabella that emigrated together were Church of England and from Donegal and at 16 and 19 they would have been born in about 1862 and 1859 – this matches the ages in the marriage certificates and the religion of Esther and William.

You may be interested in the notes on this page http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~donegal/1911momeent.htm and contacting Robyn whose details are included on the page.

You might clarify, do you refer to two Isabella's in your post? Daughter of Esther Lowry and William Graham and daughter of James and Elizabeth Graham?

Based on a will on PRONI for a David Devenny who died February 15th 1889 with a wife named Jane and son named Moses (See: http://applications.proni.gov.uk/DCAL_PRONI_WillsCalendar/WillsSearch.aspx ) Jane appears to live next door to William (one of the confirmed children of Moses) in 1901. Jane dies sometime before 1911 but two of her sons, Moses and James, are shown to be living in the house in 1911. I will add Jane's marriage to my growing list of marriage certificates to order.

Hi hezekiah259,

Is the above the post you are referring to? Jane and David Devenney? I don't think you can engage in private messages until you've made a few more public posts. Which of Jane and David's children is your husband descended from?

I have received copied of the marriage certificates of Jane, Anne and Esther Lowry.

Esther Lowry
I have made contact with a descendant of Esther Lowry and William Graham in Australia. It would appear that Esther is one of Moses' children.

Marriage Certificate details:

Marriage solemnized at: The Parish Church in the Parish of Raymochy in the County of Donegal
When Married:               September 30th 1856
Groom:                          William Graham - full age - bachelor - farmer - Momeen
Bride:                             Esther Lowry - 20 - spinster - [blank] - Killyverry
Father of Groom:            Matthew Graham - farmer
Father of Bride:               Moses Lowry - farmer
Witnesses:                     Samuel Chambers and James Buchannan


Jane Lowry
Based on my last post and the contents of the marriage certificate (below) I believe Jane is another one of Moses' children.

Marriage Certificate details:

Marriage in:                   The Parish Church in the Parish of Raymochy in the County of Donegal
When Married:               December 29th 1846
Groom:                          David Devenny - 27 - bachelor - farmer - Ballylevin
Bride:                             Jane Lowry - 26 - spinster - [blank] - Killyverry
Father of Groom:            James Devenny - farmer
Father of Bride:               Moses Lowry - farmer
Witnesses:                      Moses Lowry and Robert McClean

Anne Lowry
I am uncertain as to whether Anne fits into this family. Although she lived in Killyverry in the Parish of Rye (per http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~bhilchey/MRaymoghy.html Raymochy and Rye are one and the same) at the time of her marriage I am unsure as to why she went to Londonderry to marry and why Moses was not a witness on the day.
 
Marriage Certificate details:

Marriage in:                   The registrar's offices in the city of Londonderry in the district of Londonderry
When Married:               November 18th 1847
Groom:                          William Galbreaith - full age - bachelor - farmer - Ballyboe, Parish of Rye
Bride:                             Anne Lowry - full age - spinster - " - Killyverry, Parish of Rye
Father of Groom:            James Galbreaith - farmer
Father of Bride:               Moses Lowry - farmer
Witnesses:                      J Hott and Jane McNear

Number of children
I would appreciate anyone's oppinion as to whether I am correct in thinking that Moses Lowry's will indicates that he only had six children (see http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~donegal/moseslowrywill.jpg)
