Evictions _ 1887 - Donegal

[joemc]

Hi, not much to add, think from the records i'm seeing that Bridget was born 1881 not 1891, both Civil record and church record match. I think mother was probably too old to have had child in 1891, think I see Ellen's death record in Jul - Sep 1897, Inishowen, aged 60. Henry McDaid seems to have died in Oct - Dec 1919, age 76

Can't solve the mystery of the land records unfortunately

Thank you very much. My 1891 must be my eyesight or transcription error .. ha ha.  I have a death record from Donegal Ancestry(Roots Ireland - Pay site)  for Ellen 19 Mar 1900 with informant Husband henry - Roxtown  - could you PM me possibly or put on this this your source.  I do not have Henrys date but could you possibly also give me source for that.

Hi, I wrote an article on the Clonmany evictions of 1881-1883, was entitled "Irish Newspapers : Sources for Irish Genealogy and History" and published in the journal of the Northumberland & Durham Family History Society a couple of years ago.
There were many tenants mentioned by name and their locations. Most of the information I got from the 'Freeman's Journal' which can be accessed for free online.

I've never heard of the place but I will consult my very detailed maps of Clonmany which I copied while researching in Dublin.

Thank you for your response, I would be interested in any publications or articles on this subject.

Clonmany & Lettermacaward are a long distance apart.
Clonmany is in the Northern part of Co.Donegal,in the Inishowen Peninsula,
while Lettermacaward is in the West of the county.
