Donegal / Re: Place name in Donegal

My ancestor was born in 1788, then joined the 9th Lancers when he was 16 and fought in Buenos Aires, the Peninsular and Walcheren, then when he retired he moved to Leeds.  He married a woman named Ann (don't know her maiden name though) in about 1814/15 (that is when his regiment was back in Ireland).  They did have a son also named Hugh born in about 1820.  I've only just discovered the existence of this son - I only knew about three of the daughters and he had four daughters and three sons!  I think 1836 might be a bit young to be getting married though.

That's brilliant.  I'll have a good look at that site later.  I didn't know it existed.  I've got ancestors from Sligo and Monaghan too, but I haven't really started on them yet!

It was the research done by my grandparents.  They probably couldn't read someone's writing or something.  I can't find it on Google Earth though.

An ancestor of mine in 1851 lived in Harehill Grove (or Lane).  He worked as a butler.  However the address only seems to house servants.  Was there a 'big house' in the area where he could have worked?  I always thought servants lived in?

One of my Irish ancestors was born in Donegal.  The place name I've been given is Twboyne - is that correct, or could it be Taughboyne?

I don't really know much about the timings in the RC faith, are children always baptised very soon after birth or could they perhaps wait a few years??

I don't think they'd wait long - don't want a baby's soul to end up in purgatory for all eternity!
