Brinlack: 1860s, 70s, children of Marie McHUGH, McFADDEN, FERRY?

interesting! so that fits completely with the birth record kindly added earlier by Heywood where parents were recorded as Robert Quigley and Kate Quigley, formerly Ferry. I can't read the place of birth if anyone can help me there?

Racecourse?

No townland of that name in Derry/Londonderry.

That's what I thought it said initially, but guess it can't be. I think it might begin with the letter B?

There's a Racourse Road on the Shantallow townland boundary.

Brilliant, yes I see, Racecourse Road, that must be what it says, very clever thank you!

So I can see on Griffiths that in Brinlack there are plenty of McHughs, McFaddens and Ferrys, just a case of unravelling who is who (not easy though I imagine). As I'm new to the source, is there a significance to the numbering in the first column. And I guess the first name in brackets indicates which elder male family member the next generation belongs to, ie would they necessarily be brothers? Many thanks for any help deciphering the info.

And another interesting record on the intertwined connections between the 3 families, here is the birth of a Maria Ferry in Nov 1869 to parents Johannes McFadden and Kate McHugh, with a possible explantation in the note below but I can't make out what it says. Any thoughts?

The gist of it is parents and sponsors names are in the wrong columns

Ah ok perfect thank you, makes sense!
