Hello Susan,

I am tempted to assume what I need not assume but I have set a ruling for myself and I'm not going to break it. A question for you which may make it easier to do some further research into this family. Which branch of the Christian faith was followed by James and Elizabeth ?

Best Wishes,

Christopher

Dear Christopher:

According to their marriage certificate they were married at Rathmullen Churchg according to the Rites and Ceremonies of the United Church of England and Ireland. So they were protestants.

Many thanks for your reply.

Susan

I have an interest in both of the townlands of Ballydargan and Ballynewport, so I would particularly like to try to help you. I was born in Ballylucas which is a townland beside Ballydargan. I also  know a local family of Murphys who still live in Ballynewport and who are related to the Murphys who used to live in Ballydargan. If you search for Lecale Historical Society on Google or any of the search engines you will find a local history website which has a copy of the 1901 Census for Lecale on it. A search of the surname index of the census on this site will show you a Murphy of Ballydargan. When you go to the Census page you will find a John Murphy and his wife Elizabeth Murphy and 3 sons and 1 daughter. These can't be the same John and Elizabeth who emigrated to Nova Scotia unless they came home on holidays for the Census!! But they must be related. I will try to contact you privately.

I am back online after a long absence. I am excited to read your information. My son is going to Ireland tomorrow and my husband and I hope to go to Ballydargin/Ballynewport to visit and research.
All the best
Susan

Susan,

Do you know how to get there? You must contact Willie Murphy a farmer who lives in Ballynewport.
His ancestors also lived in Ballydargin. He would be delighted to meet you and he can arrange access to Rathmullan Church and graveyard. Get back to me if you need further details.
Billy.
