Hello Kerry,

Thanks for your query.

St. John’s C of I, Dunnalong, Bready, Co. Tyrone  was erected 1864/5 to serve 
the lower section of Donagheady parish; the first perpetual curate was  Rev. 
Frederick Clark (formerly curate of Donagheady parish church, Earlesgift,  
Donemana. http://leckpatrick.derry.anglican.org/dunnalongwrittenhistory.htm

There is a graveyard attached; perhaps Ellen was an earlier interment.
Have looked at the transcriptions of inscribed headstones at Donagheady Old 
Burial Ground, Benowen, Donemana and Grange Old Burial Ground – several for 
Dunn families, but none commemorate Ellen.  You have not stated her age at 
death nor the townland address.

Her burial is not recorded in the burial register of Donagheady parish church 
which may be searched on the Bready Ancestry http://www.breadyancestry.com/ 
although many Dunns are – it may be worthwhile to check out the many marriages 
and baptisms for family connections.

Her death was not announced in any of the Londonderry papers.

Sorry for the negative news, but hope this assists in your understanding of the 
situation as things were in Donagheady (and Ireland) at that time.

Regards,
Len Swindley, Melbourne, Australia

Subject: [CoTyroneMailingList] Dunn PRONI Burial Record Question: Donagheady 
Parish

Hello Listers,

This is a basic question and I am fairly new to genealogy research. I hope to 
call upon Listers’ wisdom to understand a PRONI record.

The record for my ancestor, Ellen Taggart Dunn who died 7 Nov 1872, states that 
she was buried in Donagheady Parish, ceremony conducted by R. Clarke of 
Dunnalog. Does this mean that she was buried at the COI Donagheady Parish 
church in Donemana or just somewhere in the Parish?

Thanks for your help!
