Thank you, Kiltaglassan. I think I've gone as far as I can with this line. But 5th great-granparents ain't bad!

Thought I'd bump this with something I found and a question.
Is Drimbarren/Drumbarren anywhere near Drummay? I ask because I found this Tithe Applotment entry from Drimmay, Donegal parish that has Andrew and Wm Lowry.

It's possible they could be my 5th and 4th great-grandfathers respectively.

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Re: Where was Susan Born?
« on: Monday 11 November 24 00:57 GMT (UK) »Thanks again!I don't know where else you could look for the records you are missing, but someone more familiar with Irish records might. Hope you find them, you are back farther than I hope to get with my Irish lines.Do you know if any of the parish records for All Saints have survived?I think so because I got from rootsireland William's children's births, his marriage, and Susan's marriage. All except the last have religion as Presb. Parish, Newtoncunningham, residence, Drummay.

ADD: Actually, it looks as if Ruskey is in All Saints, and Drummay, Newton-cunningham.

I'm willing to bet not one of my son-in-laws have a clue where I was born!

I'd also like to find William's birth around 1800, but that's a long shot. I should probably post in the Donegal forum.

Thanks!

« on: Monday 11 November 24 00:33 GMT (UK) »I bet that's exactly what happened. Thanks for those links. Her parents were William Lowry and Jane Callen. I think William remarried in 1835 to Mary Crumlish, although I don't have a death record for Jane Callen.This is Susan (Lowry) Craig's death record in Ontario, Canada. She married John Craig, 1848, and her birthplace was listed as Drummay (Drumhay). I am curious as to what this record says is her birthplace.Then that's her marriage record that I posted and that's where she lived in 1848. "Loneberry" is probably what her informant remembered from knowing her. It could be "Londonderry" misheard or abbreviated. I didn't find any locations in Donegal anywhere close to the spelling or pronunciation "Loneberry."

William's parents were Andrew and Margaret (Browne). Records I'd like to find are:
Marriage of William Lowry & Jane Callen
Death of Jane Callen
Thanks All
