Thank you, I found this death as well.
Harvey was baptised on 2/2/1840 & he died in 1878, he would have been 38, not 36, but I also know records were so bad back then for mistakes because of the literacy levels

Donegal / Harvey Ewing 1840

Hi, I'm looking for any information on Harvey Ewing.
This is what I know so far -
Harvey was baptised on the 2/2/1840 church of Ireland, in the parish of Burt, co Donegal, his father was William a farmer and mother Eliza French. His address is down as Bonemain.
Harvey is my great great grandad, he married Elizabeth Rankin, they had a son Robert Alexander Ewing, he married Annie Roulston and they had my gran Mary Jane Ewing.
Mary Jane Ewing (my gran) was born in Scotland, but her dad was born in Dublin and her mum Co Donegal.
Any help would be grateful as I have never been to Ireland so don’t know much about districts etc.

Can you please give the FULL information from the Marriage certificate, in a much clearer manner?
Suggestion added: If you post the certificate on your Ancestry page, we would see it.
I have added all certificates to my tree on ancestry

Parents Charles & Mary are correctly as I’ve got all certificates
Joseph thomson & Elizabeth boyle marriage is right as I have certificate & I have Joseph’s birth & death.
Next it’s Joseph thomson & Mary mcintyre, I have their marriage certificate that gives their parents names and that’s Peters thomson & Mary carrigan, then thomson, then kelly and I also have Joseph’s death with his parents but cannot find anything about them. No dates of birth, marriage or death. I do know they all came from Denniston, Rutherglen areas
