John Irwin 1867 Ballykelly, Co Derry

Are you sure about the date? The reason I ask is because your other post says your grandfather's grandfather was born 1808.

Samuel Duffy B 1808 in Donegall (spelling?) Ireland married Elizabeth Hyndman B1820 of Donegall (spelling?). They are my Grandfathers Grandparents.

Hi,
Theses are different families. I have been tracing both over the past few days.

Many Thanks to everyone for replying.
I will take my time and look at the info posted and get back to you.

I do not know about any kids, or relations over in Derry. I will need to check this out.

Thanks again,

Again,
Thanks to all. I have been looking at the Church. A very beautiful Church it is.

It is weird to think that I actually know where that is, and have driven through Eglinton a few times when over in Ireland. The next time I pass through I will have to drive down for a look at it. Can get a day trip over for £70 with Ryan air too.... hmmm

Anyway, the parents you list are correct it seems and the 1901 cnesus seems to be spot on too. Thanks. This is fascinating me now. I would like to try padding out the life of Robert Irwin(e). The whole Plantation idea fascinates me. I have Irish roots from the hunger, but this seems to be the other edge of the sword if I am not mistaken. However, they still had to have a reason for getting out, the children that is, leaving the parents behind.

Does anyone have any hints/ tips or clues as to how to pad out Robert and who he was. What he was doing there, and I would guess the Planters records might not be too bad. Can we locate a place for him back in Mainland Britain?

Thanks again,

MM

I think I see this couple still living in the Ballykelly area in the 1901 Census

This is interesting. 10 years later in 1911, there is a Catherine IrVine living there. With her Son Joseph. This Catherine is 9 years older.
I found a Son named Joseph born 5th Feb 1878

Whats everyones thoughts on this?
