These are the Townley's of Tirmacoy townland near Ballykelly.
They are buried in Ballykelly Presbyterian church, see www.colerainefhs.org.uk for the transcription.
Their sons Davy and Victor used to have a shop/post office in Tirmacoy.
Bought my sweets there many moons ago.

Was watching because my townland of Glack was included. Hmmm, those windmills are a fair dander from Glack.

What a blast from the past.
I can positively state that the picture posted by Aghadowey is definitely the person you are looking for.
I recall him losing patience while trying to coach me (two left feet). I only went to the dance classes to get out of the study for an hour. Loreto College in 1960's.
Fabulous dancer...well renouned and respected in the area.

Thank you so much - no much wonder I couldn't find Mary as it was under Marty!!

I know that the only way to find out what they died from is by obtaining death certificates but the cost soon adds up - is there a cheaper option??

The Common Room / Re: finding an adopted sister of my nans

I have just watched a programme on ITV1 London called Long Lost Family and there was a case that was strikingly similar.

This lady found out from a childhood friend that Mum and Dad were not her parents but that Aunt Eva who lived two doors up was her mother. Also that she was  a twin.
Mum and Dad confirmed this. Aunt Eva through the years had turned up for a cuppa every morning and often brought her knitting and sat with them in the evening.

Throughout the years the lady had often tried to find her twin without success.
She was found on the show and it turned out that she lived about 3 miles away!!

It was said that private adoptions were often arranged through the local GP... the GRO adoption records can be consulted by family but only through an intermediary. That way no one is pressured into anything.It is all done very discreetly. Maybe this is the way forward for you.

Of course this all depends on whether there are records of an adoption in your case.

I hope this helps and let us know how you get on.
