Hi cousins, Great to hear from you, I would also think Anne Park and William were my great great grand parents. They had 12 children and son John who married Mary Dorrian are my great grand parents. Have you ever visite Ballyarr?
I have been working on this for most of the afternoon. I also have a typed page of the pension enquiry for Ellenor, but no where does it say, Park. But I met a retired schoolteacher many years ago in Mountcharles who mentioned this surname. I cannot remember who she was. (Maybe she was a Dorrian.)
I came across the following in the Tithes Books.
Ballyare, (Tullyfern) Co Donegal.
His father born 1770 William is our 3 GGG gf.
In 1830 He held 14 Acres 2 Roods 4 Perches. Value 6pounds, 7shillings 8pence.
The tithes to be paid to local Clergyman for the tithes claimed by him as rector of the Parish for at least 21 years from 1825. Act of English Parliment in the reign of \King George 111.
Land then passed on to Thomas McGettigan. The lessor was Thomas Patterson. They now had 19 Acres 2Roods 38 Perches. Value 7pounds 5shillings. March 1858.
