Dear Nipy
I  would be very grateful if you  would check for a James and Sabina Hughes whose children are
James and Sabina b 1848 and 1843 respectively. One US record states that the parents, James
& Sabina died of typhoid fever in Ireland. I have not been able to confirm that. Thanks again
Libby

Yes I am still  searching for the Qualters- Sabina and James. I really think your information is
promising. I am not sure if Winifred is a common name in that part of Ireland, but the daughter of
sabina qualter desmond was names Catherine Winifred Desmond- certainly sounds like a clue
I would love to find a way to find out if Sabina and james' parents both died of typhoid fever abt 1854
( as Catherine Winifred mentioned on an insurance application)- Thank you so much for your  input
I feel like I am zeroing in on the right area.

Thank you so much for the picture of Slaghtmanus. How fortunate you are to have been born in such a
beautiful area. Are you aware of any old cemeteries in the vicinity? I was hoping for some McShane/Carlin or Hughes inscriptions.

Derry (Londonderry) / McShane/Carlin/Hughes
« on: Monday 06 April 09 04:25 BST (UK)  »
Hello Everyone
I am trying desperately to determine an exact townland for my Derry ancestors- James, Patrick  and Rose McShane,( prob Slaghtmanus) They were from Londonderry and their parents were Patrick McShane and Rose Carlin. The birthdates of Patk,James and Rose were 1818-1827

All emigrated to Malden Massachusetts. -the boys through New York- Rose b 1818 married James Heggarty in Londonderry and came to Malden upon the death of her husband James. Hegarty She emigrated with  her two sons John and Patrick Hegarty. Supposedly, there were other McShanes who emigrated to Philadelphia- yet unsubstantiated

My gggrandmother was also from Derry- Rebecca Jane Hughes who married James McShane. Her parents were William and Isabella Carruthers Hughes (Derry)and she had a brother David Hughes b. 1837 who spent some time in the US 1850-1880 but I lose him after that

Does anyone have any information that might corroborate this family saga- I am leaving for Salt Lake City in September and would love some concrete information to research

Thank you all

Dear Ronnieg,
thank you so much for the Qualter information- unfortuately, i don't have a way of pinning
down which of the three is most likely. I really appreciate your efforts, though and I will
keep searching
Thanks
