Derrymore could be a pot of gold for you. Lindsays emigrated from there to Philadelphia in 1834

Derry (Londonderry) / Re: Crawford/Lindsay family

I feel you may have been looking in the wrong church records.
I wonder if the deeds of the present farms would show previous owners?
Martha Crawford, although she was generally housebound in the fifties ,would have "gan to meetin" as I remember her say of one of her neighbours. Translated that meant she would have gone to Derrymore Presbyterian Church and had little or nothing to do with Drumachose or Aghanloo which if I remember right were Church of Ireland (Anglican) and 'not properly reformed'.
Lisnagrib would have consisted of four only farms and Crawfords would have been the smallest at only 6-8 acres - its a small world in Lisnagrib - and the current older generation who farm there would probably know who farmed each property in 1900 and maybe even before that.

I was searching for Lisnagrib the place where I used to spend my summer holidays in the 1950's.
There was avery old lady who lived there and her house is still occupied by an aunt of mine.
Her name was Marha Crawford but she had never been married. She was in her 80's or 90's in the 1950's so would have been born in about 1860 -1870.
Her house can be found on the B201 out of Limavady on the way to Coleraine wher the "Bishops Road" from Downhill meets what is now known as "Windyhill Road". check it on Multimap.com at 1:50000 scale.
Some people in the area will still remember her, when she died (about 1959) and where she is buried.
I hope this is of interest
