Donegal / Re: Elliott in County Donegal, Ireland
« on: Friday 29 June 18 18:48 BST (UK)  »
Thanks Hallmark for your help.

I want to thank all of you for all the help u gave me to find info on my Elliott relatives. With your help I found all kinds of documents and even my great grather's brother that moved to the US that I had been looking for for years but I wasn't able to find him in Ireland. I don't know why he moved to Philadelphia, USA and others moved to Canada, but I'm glad I was able to find him! I would of checked in sooner, but I lost my bookmark. LOL  Now I'm off to see if I can find relatives from Scotland. :-)

Thanks Hallmark, I was using Glengesh or Donegal..I don't really understand the district thing. I keep reading different websites about them, but I keep getting mixed up. So Glenties is the civil reg. district for Donegal then?  I'm going to write that down and start a list. Thanks again, much appreciated.  :D I'll go back and try that. have a good day!

Hi, I tried last night to find out more birth records etc from those websites but couldn't find anything. It kept says no records found..which isn't too big of a surprise as  it takes me a bit to figure out some websites..  :-[ but I haven't given up, I do have a stubborn streak, I will keep trying.

I did find some nursing records for my great aunt. I found she was a nurse in Donegal and went to London to train, so that was nice.
Take care and thanks again for your help. :-)

A lot of new records have come online since you first looked for the family, the two we have used here is the National Archives of Ireland
http://www.genealogy.nationalarchives.ie/
and Irish Genealogy for their Civil Records
https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/civil-search.jsp
you might also find this site useful

if you get stuck let us know we will help if we can, good luck.
Thank u so much! I will check them again. I am on Ancestry.com, but they don't have the complete records,,just the indexes on some but that doesn't give the complete date or the parents names. If it's a marriage list there are a list of names, not just 2. Which makes it hard if u don't know both of the persons' names. But you both have given me so much info it is wonderful. :-)

...Hugh Elliott b. 1905 Donegal; he m. a lady named Belle, first name ...


Is this 1938 marriage to Isabella Boyd a possibility?

Hi, I'm not sure if she is the right Bella or not. I don't think I ever met my gr uncle Hugh at any family reunions. I think he might have stayed in Ireland. I just know that his wife's name was Bella I don't know the surname. :-(

Welcome to RootsChat
There is a George born 6 Dec 1899 in Drumirrin parents James Elliott and Susan McConnell
https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/birth_returns/births_1900/02007/1771282.pdf
This looks like the family in 1901
http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Donegal/Glengesh/Drumerrin/1175111/
And 1911
http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Donegal/Glengesh/Drumirrin/485729/

Doesn't quite match the information you were given but is close.

I see gaffy has found the same family.

Thanks Sinann for the link. Yes I do have those 2 census, sorry I forgot to mention that. I got them from a web site about 5 years ago Proni? when I first started looking for my Irish family. I just went by the names my grandfather gave mom of the names of his siblings. I didn't get to far with them because I wasn't too good at figuring out how to get the info on the Irish Proni site. I haven't tried it again since I got the 1901 & 1911 census. I must give it another go. :-)

Oh my goodness gaffy & Sinann u have been busy!!! thanks so much for all your info!! I was soooo excited when I found all the things u  both had been posting. I have been trying to find out for sure info on my Elliott family for almost 5 years now since I started this search. I had guessed the James Duncan Elliott's mom's surname might be Duncan as I had read that a lot of time the middle name of the kids would have the mom's surname. So I had searched for a Duncan mom and Elliott father before finding them. But I never had a birth certificate with all their names on it so that would show me I had the right ones. But now that I have it , thanks so much, I know for sure who they are and what the father's name of both are too.
My grandfather told me  that  he thought his grandfather or James Duncan's grandfather came from Scotland, he was a widower? with 2 sons, but Grampy wasn't too sure if he remembered that right. But at least now I know the names of my 3rd great grandfathers and I never thought that would happen!! Also my great uncle George's birth cert & Grampy's birth certificate!! My gr grandparents m. cert..this is better than Christmas! I am so very excited and thankful for all of your help and my son,  is going to be excited too. :-)   I haven't finished reading all the links yet, as I just wanted to tell u all what a wonderful gift u have given to me and how very much I appreciate it!!

Hi, I hope I'm doing this right. Wasn't sure if it's ok for me to post this here or if I should of started a new thread.
I'm looking for info on my great grandfather James Duncan Elliott b. abt 1872 in Donegal.  I don't know if this is correct, but according to my grandfather his name was James Duncan Elliott. He was married to Susan McConnell. Grandpa told my mom this over 35 years ago and his dates were just a guess, both mom and my grandfather have been gone for many years now. My grandfather and a few of his brother's left Donegal for Toronto, Ontario, Canada or the US. I have some records of the ones that moved to Canada but not ones from Ireland that I know are 100% fact.
Susanna Elliott b. abt 1881 m. A Mr. Abberly?
Margaret Ellen (Maggie) Elliott b. 1894 possibly m. James Dobbyn in 1931?
William John Elliott..born abt 1898
George Elliott born abt 6 Dec 1899..he m. Dorothy Weir in Toronto, Ontario, Canada 1925..she was b in Belfast.
Andrew Elliott b. 1901 donegal; he moved to Toronto and m. Ellen Ringland who was also from Ireland.
Hugh Elliott b. 1905 Donegal; he m. a lady named Belle, first name.
Joe Elliott b. abt 1905 donegal, he also moved to Toronto and m. Ethel Scattergood in Toronto, Ontario.
Saragh Jane (Sady) Elliott b. 1910 and the record that I found says she was b. Glengesh, Donegal, Ireland; which most of the records says for the Elliott's birth, but I'm not sure if they are the right person. Sady m. Robert James Henderson in Ireland.
Elizabeth (Lizzy) Elliot b. abt 1903 donegal. m. James Baskin?
I have been trying to find some info on the folks that stayed in Ireland, but I am not getting very far. But keep hoping that I some day will get lucky and find a reltive that can give me some info.
