hello all,
I came across your postings and thought I should give you some data in relation to the Toner's.
Fr. James Toner's sister Mrs. Devenney's name was Frances, Her husband was William Devenney. They lived at Drumnaught , Conwall.
He also had a sister Anne
His aunt Susan Toner married Micky Beag Mc Ginley. ( Breenagh )
They had 10 children - Alice, Annie, Maire, Mick, Patrick, Peter P.T. ( cu Uladh )
Jimmy, Bridget, Susan ( Drumbologue )and Cornelius.
There was also another aunt Mary Toner who married Hudie Mc Daid ( mc Devitt ) only know of one son James.
James Toner who died 25th May 1989 aged 82 was probably a son of Peter and Catherine ( Kathleen ) Toner Kirkstown. James and his wife Bridie lived in Kirkstown.
Which of the Toner's married ? Mc Monigle ?
Unsure of the Mc Gettigan connection, perhaps Bridget Toner (Peter's wife) maiden name was Mc Gettigan. I will check if there is a birth record for their son Neal as according to the 1901 Kirkstown census his age is given as 35, which if correct would mean that he was born 1866. Civil registration commenced 1864.
Killymard parish census 1901
Household - Mc Gettigan - John and Mary, Patrick, Bridget, Fanny, James, Joseph Christopher Monaghan, Annie Dorrian.
Hope this has been useful
Catherine
