I received to day my gggGrandfathers death Certificate:William Campbell died 27/01/1865 his death certificate address is 6 Ferry Row Derry, but Derry city cemetery's records give his address as Hoggs Folly, Derry. Does any one know if Ferry row and Hoggs Folly are the same place? And also do these streets exist any more.  William was Alderman Patrick Campbells Grandfather.

Hi Summerhill
The street you are enquiring about Ferry Row was on /off Bishop St. According to John Bryson's book 'The Streets of Derry' . I researched further and discovered that there was a greengrocers shop on the corner owned by a man called John Ferris and this led to the street being mis-named as Ferris Row.
I have james on my tree also. His father was William Campbell married to Anne Campbell b.1809 d.25/4/1886 (O'Neill St Derry which was off Henrietta Street)
Hope this helps regards Soupie
