Harvey Ewing 1840

[Alison182]

Hi, I'm looking for any information on Harvey Ewing.
This is what I know so far -
Harvey was baptised on the 2/2/1840 church of Ireland, in the parish of Burt, co Donegal, his father was William a farmer and mother Eliza French. His address is down as Bonemain.

Harvey is my great great grandad, he married Elizabeth Rankin, they had a son Robert Alexander Ewing, he married Annie Roulston and they had my gran Mary Jane Ewing.

Mary Jane Ewing (my gran) was born in Scotland, but her dad was born in Dublin and her mum Co Donegal.

Any help would be grateful as I have never been to Ireland so don’t know much about districts etc.

Thank you, I found this death as well.
Harvey was baptised on 2/2/1840 & he died in 1878, he would have been 38, not 36, but I also know records were so bad back then for mistakes because of the literacy levels

Everything after Harvey, my gran, grandad and great grandad I know as part of my family, it's just going backwards I'm struggling with.

'Bonemain' is a.k.a. Bunnamayne (I've also seen Bonemaine and Bunamayne), just NW of Derry City, but I'm struggling thus far to find anything specifically related to your William Ewing and Eliza French in the immediate area, in the likes of Tithe Applotment Books, Griffith's Valuation, and contemporary baptisms, marriages, newspapers etc.:

Hello

Have you checked this resource from the Kirk Session book of Burt, more than 100 years previous to your time period but more interestingly it was research that was commissioned by the Ewing Family Association so I would think they have other resources and show Ewing's were prominent in Parish going back to the Plantation in the 1600's
