Hi

I'm doing some research on Devenny families in the Raymoghy/Taughboyne area of County Donegal. I believe Isabella was baptised in Taughboyne in 1842 (https://www.ireland.anglican.org/cmsfiles/pdf/AboutUs/library/registers/Taughboyne/TaughboyneBaptisms.pdf) and married Robert in 1870 as I'm sure you know. I think I found a Flickr post where you note Isabella is Scottish.

Her mother was Catherine Devenny according to the baptismal record - there are other Devenny families that emigrated to NZ so I am wondering if there is a connection?

Regards

Jason

She was baptised in Taughboyne, having been born in the townland of Dundee. Her mother was Catherine Devenny and father James McCain (the most common spelling, others being McKean, McCaine, etc.).
