John Coulter was stationmaster at Mount Charles for 40 years according to his obituaries (births of children and other newspaper articles confirm him at Mount Charles)

John Coulter also was Stationmaster at Killygordon until he was transfered to Mountcharles. His daughter Sarah Frances was born there in October 1900.

Londonderry Sentinel, 6 Oct.1900: Coulter— October 2, at Killygordon, the wife of Mr. John Coulter, stationmaster, of a daughter.

First daughter came quite quickly after the marriage and was born at Fanaghans where the Coulters lived-

Let’s hope this is the right one after all this effort 

With skirl’s dismissal, it sounds as though more is known

I know lots more, too, but will not post it all (would probably take several posts) until poster replies.

That’s what I mean. Even posting the marriage, census and any births could be a waste of time if it is definitely wrong.
We’ll see.

I put the 1901 and 1911 census links in a post earlier.
I had to out to vote.
I searched Coulter and stationmaster there was only one in Ireland.
I just searched stationmasters and got 43 in Ireland.
Then Donegal and got 3.
John Coulter
Benjamin Bogle
James Maher.
Checking on Inver, nearest place to Milltown, there is a James Patton in house number 1, the railway station.
Next to a Private dwelling, 2 Mills and a shop and drapery factory.

Skirl, what name are you looking for?

Thanks for the input everyone. John Coulter, station master at Mount Charles, is a relation of mine. John Coulter's people met a Coulter in the UK in recent times who happened to be a descendant of the station master in Inver. The Hugh Coulter that Kiltaglassan found, who was a railway clerk, is a possibility.

Hugh Coulter was Station Master, Inver on his marriage.
