I have not been able to find exactly where George lived as the placename I was given was Mentuagh.

Could it be Montiagh?
In the parish of Achonry

Hi

Yes Montiagh seems very likely and I think I have come across that location before in connection to someone in my tree.

Thank you and Merry Christmas.

Glad to have been able to given a little confirmation perhaps.

Merry Christmas to you too.

James Whyte (father of Maria Whyte) is my 4x great grandfather, does anyone have information on the origins of the family?  James Whyte ended up in Coolaney, Sligo married to Catherine Middleton, all of his children married and moved to Montiagh (I still live near this area).
I originally believed James Whyte (b.1790) came down from the north - possibly Derry to Coolaney.  But I think now that it was the generation before him.
This isn't a fact but I assume George Whyte (m. Ann Levingston) is the nephew of James Whyte.
 George Whytes father is John Whyte (of Coolaney)

Hi C Stenson

Sorry I had not earlier noticed your post in May about the Whyte family.

I have looked up the marriage of Maria Whyte and William Livingston and it does confirm that Maria was from Montiagh, daughter of James. William was from Rathbarron son of Thomas. The farmhouse Thomas lived in is just down the road from the Rathbarron Presbyt Church.

Thomas Livingston was my 3x gt grandfather.

So Maria was in Montiagh in 1854.

George Whyte b c1848 (son of John) who married Wiliam's niece Anne Livingston in 1869 was from  Montiagh.

I have William's date of death at Sagara as in your tree (though I see I had not put the exact date). Mary recorded his death. 

I do not have her date of death and I notice you do not have it either. So the date of birth I have given her a DOB of c 1823, is just a guess. And possibly due to poor arithmetic.

I notice that William Livingston's age is give as 25 on the 1854  marriage but Maria is "full age". I can never decide what full age actually was back then (21 or 25) but mostly use 25. Anyway Maria could be a sister of Georg'e Whyte's father John. 

I am sorry but I do not have any further information on the Whyte family and my local knowledge is somewhat affected by distance ( NZ being on the other side of the world). It is my Livingstone cousin at Cuiltybar who dug up the Sagara information from local records.

Cheers

Linda

I have just tried to find Sagara on Griffith's Valuation but cannot find it by browsing even though I have found Sagura. Montiagh on the modern map corresponds to Sargirra on the historic map.

I did find a Mary White with 24 acres in Montiagh, and Richard White with 1 acre adjacent.

Haven't looked in the Tithes.
