1911, at Creggan Road:

recorded as 'Magowan'. Mary is noted as being a widow.

Edward's 1904 death?

The Coroner's Inquiry noted in Londonderry Sentinel, has this Edward (albeit recorded in paper as Magowan), as being from Rosemount (which I think works for a Creggan Road address), and his wife as  being a Mary. He was 'about 35 yrs' of age. Sole support of Mary and three children.

Thank you very much McManus and Scotmum but the post your replying to is from 2008 :)

I have found that info you have supplied and much more.  One thing for future researchers of Edward McGowan and Mary McElwee is that there is incorrect info on the marriage record. Mary's father is given as a William but in fact he was a Patrick.  When Mary McGowan nee McElwee was buried her son gave the info that her father was a Patrick and I have since confirmed that with family members and also via her baptism record.

Through DNA I also discovered a 2nd cousin 1xs removed with the surname McManus.

Take care :)
