Interesting. Benduff etc. would be neighbouring parish to where my Dominic lived. I will have to see if I can find 1841 Scottish Census. I believe his father was Neil. Where did you find record for Dominic born Mevil? Could that be mis-spelling of Moville ( parish where my Dominic lived) although would have been born before 1830. 1st child born abt 1846.

Do you know in which townland your Dominic McColgan was recorded in Tithe Applotment. Our Dominic is recorded as Tullynavin, Redcastle, Moville Upper, in Griffith's.
 Where did you find record of a Dominic & Peter? Not a combination I've heard of.

I have just seen your post, sorry if this info is late. I have been researching McColgan from that area as well. I have several Patrick McColgan's in my tree. Couldn't find a marriage for Patrick McColgan & Mary Snell. I did however find baptism for sons Patrick & Dominick Didn't look for the others.
Patrick 3rd Sept 1854, sponsors James McCormick & Ann McLaughlin
Dominick 21st August 1861, sponsors James O'Donnell & Mary Gillespie.
Address is given as Carrowtrasna, parish Moville.
When I next look at Moville Parish records I'll see if I can find a marriage. It would have been before Civil Records began.

Ballyargus, Redcastle is in Inishowen about 6 miles on Derry side of Moville. At the time you mention it would have been part of Moville Upper Parish. Hope this helps.

Look at Hse 93 Churchlands Quarter in 1911 Census. That is in Benduff.

Benduff is definitely a townland, I was there yesterday. It lies halfway between Carndonagh & Malin. In Census it would probably be included in Churchlands Quarter but would need to look that up. I'm sure the area is shown in GV Ordnance Survey map

I have an Edward Fullerton, son of Alexander Fullerton, married Mary Coyle in Carndonagh 8 Feb 1871. Edward's address is given as Minaward. There is no Address given for Alexander. Mary & Edward had 3 children, Mary Ann b 1872 in Buncrana district, Alexander b 1880 in Derry and Bridget b 1879 in Derry. Does any of this fit with you?

I think this is the information you want :
Daniel McColgan was a son of Dominic McColgan & Susan Doherty (1819 - 1904 ) Tullynavin
Their family : Anne, Ellen ( 1848- 1918 ), Neil ( 1850 - 1913 ),Daniel ( 1851 - 1934 ),
James ( 1851 - ), Catherine (1863 -) & Michael ( 1865- 1947). James & Daniel were twins, there was no Dominic. Michael was my grandfather. Dominic died before 1901.
Daniel married Margaret McDermott ( 1861 - 1947 ). Margaret was from Clar.
Their family: James ( 1887-), Susan ( 1891- 1972), Mary ( 1893-1987), Cecily ( 1896-),
Daniel (1897- ), Michael ( 1901 - 1976), Margaret ( 1902- 1995) & Bernard ( 1906- )
1901 Census House 23, Carrickmaquigley, Redcastle
1911 Census House 17, Carrickmaquigley
I hope this helps

Obviously the Henry I had is not the sponsor of your ancestor. He would't have been around in 1855. I did find a Henry in 1901 Census, aged 71. Would have been in right age bracket. He had son Henry, born abt 1878, and a grandson, also Henry, born 1900. That could be "my" Henry. Do you have any other Christian names. I shall be in Carndonagh area in the next few weeks and will see what I can find out. I have relatives in Benduff. As for the Brochan House, I don't think you'll find anything online although there must have been some paperwork for the Commerative Plaque to be put up. Will try and find out and if anyone knows nickname for Doherty of Benduff.
I appreciate what it's like, trying to research Doherty in and around Carndonagh. My grandfather was one of them, and his parents were, as far as I can find out, both Doherty. It's like looking for a needle in a haystack. I wish I'd started when my mother was still alive, she knew who everyone was, and how they were related.
Will be in touch if I get any info
