Toner/McDevitt - Ballygallon
Hello,
I’m looking for some help from Mabs, please.
1. My great great grandparents were Hugh (Hudie) McDevitt and Mary Toner, Ballygallon. I understand that Mary was a sister of Susan (McGinley) and Peter Toner. Was Mary from Kirkstown originally?
2. Could you share the newspaper article of the funeral of Fr. Peter McDevitt, please?
3. We were always told that we were descended from ‘the Solomon’s’. Were the Solomon Toners originally from Kirkstown or from Glenswilly? Being a Solomon was almost like a badge of honour but I’d love to know why.
Many thanks, Mabs.
