Fulton Family Dungiven

[Balnacree]

Have checked the Bovevagh Presbyterian Church records, but just found the marriage of Joseph and Elizabeth.

I think Fultons must have went to Dungiven Presbyterian church.

I have James Fulton Derrylane and  Thomas Fulton Drum, if anyone would know anything about these areas

Hi,
   I live very close to the townlands of Drum and Derrylane. What would you like to know about the areas?

Regards

I have just been told that Derrylane was the original Fulton homestead, iSo Joseph must have moved to Drum.  Is Drum near Derrylane?  Also how to you get to them.


Many thanks for your help, as I am finding it difficult to sort the Fulton's out

Hi,
    The townlands ( small administrative areas) of Drum and Derrylane are next to one another just to the north west of the small town of Dungiven.  They can be seen on the Google maps and if you use "Street View", the little yellow man at the top lef,t you can view the area.

Balnacree,
              I was in Dungiven Parish churchyard this afternoon and found the graves of Joseph and Elizabeth of Drum and a General Fulton of Derrylane grave with no specific names. Joseph was 74 when he died and Elizabeth was 80. I took some photographs which you may have if you send me your E-mail address using the Personnal Message system.
              The Griffiths valuation of 1858 shows a Robert Fulton with a house,barns etc and 34 Acres of land in Derrylane and a Thomas Fulton with a house, barns etc and 52 acres of land which was shared with Charles Horner. Thomas Fulton also held 26 Acres of land only in Derrylane. I also had a look in the 1831 census, which only names the head of household and the only Fulton in Drum/Derrylane was Thomas. Going back to the 1796 Flaxgrowers and the 1766 and 1740 Religious census I can find no Fultons in Drum or Derrylane.

Regards

I have a little more information for this thread.

I checked most but not all of the tithe applotment books for parishes in the Limavady area. There were no Fultons in Drum, Dernaflw or Derrylane. I found, however, a Samuel Fulton in Cahery renting circa 16 acres and a David Fulton renting circa 6 acres in Terrydremond.

1831 Census shows a William Fulton in Cahery - 4 males and 2 females, all Presbyterian. In Derrymore a Samuel Fulton - 1 male and 1 female, both Presbyterian. In Drummond an Archy Fulton -1 male and 1 female, both Presbyterian.
