Do you know these people? Belfast, likely Joseph Street.

Can’t open the links, but it does seem to blow a hole in my thesis. When I said “the south” I meant Southern Ireland (Free State/Eire/Republic), as opposed to Northern Ireland (six counties of the UK) of post partition Ireland. Some loyalists in Donegal weren’t happy they weren’t included in post partition Northern Ireland. I do understand that geographically Donegal is actually in the north west of the country. Thanks for your help, appreciate it.

The links should all work. For Irish Genealogy you need to follow directions when shown application page with name and box to tick. For Family Search you need to either log in with your account or set up a free account if you don't have one yet.

You seem to be talking about two different things- pre-partition and post-partition.

You said earlier but I do have examples of people from pre-partition Ulster, denying connections to the south.
