Dundarg? Ballywillan
« on: Friday 22 July 11 12:21 BST (UK) »
Does anyone know where Dundarg might be?

I have a Kathleen Crawford who married in Portrush Pres Church in 1893. Residence was given as what looked like Dundarg (writing on the marriage register was very difficult to make out so may be something totally different) Ballywillan. Her father was William Crawford, a gardener.

Dunderg is in County Londonderry- Macosquin Parish not far out of Coleraine.

I think it probably is Dunderg. It was the church that was in Ballywillan Parish rather than the bride's residence. Her husband Hugh Gage Moody was from Macosquin. Thanks anyway.

There is a townland called Balywiiam, near Dunderg, coud it be Balywiliam rather than Balywillan.

It's Ballywilliam and it's also a townland (the residence on marriage certificate wouldn't be two townlands).
