McKernans of Tullyballydonnell

[MRGREEN]

Hi.      Magheralin was actually in County Down.

A very distant relative of mine has done extensive research on her TOTTEN / TOTTON family which are centred around the AGHALEE area.

Many totten's are buried locally.

I recall that there is a TOTTEN'S HILL very close to AGHALEE village.

A few TOTTEN's that I do have on my file:-

EDDIE TOTTEN (from Ballymacash, Lisburn), married circa 1802.

EDDIE TOTTEN had a son called JOSEPH TOTTEN (Born 26th Oct. 1915, & who died Nov. 1999)

JOSEPH TOTTEN had a total of 10 brothers & sisters.   He lived at Sandy Bay (at Lough Neagh) then AGHALEE village.

JOSEPH TOTTEN had a total of 6 children (1 of which has done much research on the TOTTEN family).

Many thanks. I've picked up a huge amount of information on the McKernans/McKernons and Tottens/Tottons since my first post, as I've now had the chance to visit Northern Ireland. I'm very probably related to the Tottens of Aghalee, though neither of the Joseph Tottens I have on file had 10 siblings.  Do you have more information?

Thanks for the help in pinpointing Tullyballydonnell, and for the tips on Belfast McKernans. Anything people can say re McKernans/McKernons or Tottens/Tottons in the general Tullyballydonnell vicinity would be very welcome.

Hello Niall,

Have you seen Looking for Totten/Totton relations on Belfast Forum? It's thought that family came from the Ballinderry-Glenavy area.
