Hi,
   From some research I have been doing on World War Deaths I have a Thomas Fulton McCay who was killed in Action on 22 Nov 1917. He was a 2nd Lt in the Royal Irish Rifles. His parents were William McCay and Martha Quigley who married in Dungiven Presbyterian Church in 1882. Martha's parents were John Quigley and Margaret Fulton who married in Dungiven Presbyterian Church in 1855. Thomas  Fulton McCay was born in the townland of Drum. He had attended Foyle College and was studying at Trinity College Dublin when he joined up. He is commemorated on the Presbyterian Roll of Honour and also on his parents grave in Dungiven Parish Church.
    I think that I mey be able to find some info on some of your other names.

Regards
Stewart, Irwin, Morrison, Haslett, Murrell - Dungiven area Co. Londonderry
Browne, Barrett -Co.Armagh
Neil, Smyth _Co. Antrim

Have you checked the Will Extracts on PRONI's website yet? www.proni.gov.uk

There's a Joseph Fulton of Drum (d.1908) listed.

This James Fulton might be connected: "Administration (with the Will) of the Estate of James Fulton late of Derrylane County Londonderry Farmer who died 19 November 1908 granted at Londonderry to James McCully Fulton Farmer."

There might also be other townlands in Dungiven area that have Fultons.

You could also check 1901 and 1911 census. www.census.nationalarchives.ie/search

It would help if you give us some idea of dates.

Hi,
   8 Dec 1864 James McCully married Martha Fulton in Dungiven Presbyterian Church.
   5 Apr 1870 James Fulton married Jane Scott in Limavady 2nd Presbyterian Church
   7 Nov 1906 William Cochrane married Martha McCully Fulton in Dunboe 2nd Presbyterian Church
   22 Nov 1934 Andrew Hall Currie married Martha Quigley Fulton in Ballykelly Presbyterian Ch.
    11 Dec 1935 William Greer McCollum married Jane Scott Fulton in Ballykelly Presbyterian Ch.
    11 Oct 1922 James McCully Fulton married Kathleen Cherry Conn in Ballykelly Presbyterian Ch.

I can find two marriages for Joseph in the Dungiven area

11 Feb 1896 Joseph A. Fulton married Rebecca Rogers, a widow with 5 children, in Dungiven Presbyterian Church.

Coleraine Library has microfilmed copies of Bovevagh Presbyterian church records. Probably best to phone ahead and reserve a machine before you head over there (several of them weren't working well today).
