Hi everyone

Just a bit of information required for a friend if possible

William James Kelly of Main St Dungiven married a Teresa Hughes who died possibly 5 years later around the end of 1923,
they had a son who it has been said saved saved two women from drowning in the river roe?

William James Kelly remarried again after the death of his wife

Trying to trace Teresa Hughes side of family

Any information from up that way be great

Looking for my great grandfather james greenes family . Emmigrated in mid 1800,s to canada. Married elizabeth fleming . They returned to dungiven about 1870 and my grandfather william james greene was born there as was my grand aunt elizabeth . They returned to canada in mid 1870,s . James father was francis greene and mother was jane keown . Elizabeths father was john fleming and mother was sarah ross . As far as i know they lived and died in londonderry . Since they returned to dungiven in 1870,s , i assume they were from that area. They were prodestants . Any help will be appreciated. BILL

Hi there kingskerswell
Thanks for that information and i have passed it on but how did you get that information and is there any more about the two,is there anywhere you could get any more information online or would you have to travel to find it,the information actually surprised my friend but solved maybe why there's no information about Teresa Hughes around Dungiven but the dates look good.
Any other information would be brilliant from anyone who lives around Clogher District in Ballygawley who might know the Hughs family concerned,maybe she is buried there possibly.
But thanks for that information  anyway and it is a start

Hi,
    Sorry, I have nomore information. The marriage came from a subscription site which I have. It can also be found on the family search site https://www.familysearch.org/ which gives the registration district of Clogher and each name is recorded in Vol 3 Page 87 of the registrar's records.

This may be connection
Theresa Hughes
Clonavaddy
Tyrone
aged 11 at time of 1911 census
and only 6 miles from Ballygawley,
right age 18 in 1918 at date of marriage
Would have died around 1923,wondering maybe in childbirth or something as pretty young

If anybody else has any information would be grateful on behalf of friend
