Derry (Londonderry) / Re: stewart of hollybush/ ballynagard culmore derry

I would suggest the Derry Genealogy Center.  I had an online report which cost about 100.00 dollars and had most of the information already but they were good.  I had a marriage date for one of my GGG Aunts from an announcement, and it matched the marriage they found for me in Church records.  I think they will look or copy one record also.  They are on the internet.  This is what they found for me.
database of civil marriage registers records the following marriage entry:

Married: 28 October 1879 in Iskaheen Roman Catholic Chapel, County Donegal
John Clery, carpenter of Culmore to
Catherine Moss, seamstress of Londonderry
Father of Groom: John Clery, boatman
Father of Bride: Thomas Moss, shoemaker
Witnesses: Margaret McLaughlin and Ann Doherty

this is what I had

John Cleary
and
Catharine Mosson
were
United in Marriage,
at Iskaheen, Donegal Co., Ireland
October 28th A.D. 1879
Rev. Develin P.P. Officiating


I am sure this was at St. Patricks as that was the family church.
Good Luck

Derry (Londonderry) / Culmore Holly Bush area family
« on: Sunday 07 May 06 18:55 BST (UK)  »
I am looking for the family of John Cleary and Hannah Lynch.  John was a ferryman at Culmore Fort 1860's- until?  His family lived at Culmore Fort and in a House/Cottage adjoing this.  Several of their children migrated to America in the 1880's but came back for visits in teh 1890's and had children there that are in the Parish record's for St. Patricks church.  One of their older daughters Elizabeth Cleary married James McGeehan she is listed as still living in 1934 in her brother's obit.  There were also two twin daughters Mary Ann and Nancy Cleary who married Gillespie Brothers, Mary Cleary-Gillespie moved to Philadelphia.  Julia Cleary may have married a Martin.  Several of the branches of the Cleary family who migrated to America continued to go back to Ireland and visit family there through the 1930's.  Trying to find out who they were and where they lived.  Culmore and Holly Bush were the locations.  I have a note that also says in 1964 two of the Cleary's visited the little house next to Fort Culmroe and two sisters named Betty and Jane Cuttbert were living there. the home where Hannah Lynch-Cleary and her daughter Sarah/Sallie Cleary lived.  A few days later they went to Greenock, Scotland and met the McGeehan's, Doherty's and Compson's.  Went back to Holly Bush and Culmore area and met Margaret and Mary Martin.  I am trying to figure out how these folks relate and wish they would have used first names for the people they visited in Scotland.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you,

              Sincerely Tiffany

  I am not sure if this will help but my Cleary family lived at the Culmore Fort, the were Catholics and their records are found at St. Patrick's church, Parish of Iskaheen, Diocese of Derry.  Two of their sons married Daughters of Thomas Mosson and his wife Sarah Doherty of Derry and Glasgow.  Some of their descendents went back to Ireland and the family lived in the Holly Bush area.  Researching Cleary, Mosson various spellings, McGeehan and Martin's.  The Baptism records at St. Patricks look like they are your Stewart family.

  Sincerely,  Tiffany
