Hello Katie and many thanks for the accolades. Sadly there is no further reporting on the strange case of the murder of ANNE DEVLIN at Killycolpy, Ardboe parish. A record of the coronial inquiry will not have survived as such records were destroyed in the burning of the old Public Record Office, Dublin, in 1922; hence the reason for my extensive transcribing of court proceedings from numerous newspapers for Cotyroneireland https://www.cotyroneireland.com/ ; they are most valuable.
Have you referred to my file of the index to the 1826 Ardboe tithe applotment book? https://www.cotyroneireland.com/tithe/ardboe.html There are two pertinent entries in Killycolpy at that time: CHARLES DEVLIN and the WIDOW DIVLIN. I note that Anne had a son named CHARLES which could be relevant. There will be nothing further to be gleaned regarding this unfortunate incident; a search of the reports of the Tyrone Assizes at Omagh (1830-35) https://www.cotyroneireland.com/menus/criminals.html proved fruitless for a report of the trial of the offenders – perhaps they were never apprehended.

Tyrone, October 1829 Now this new splendid entry from Len Swindley is of great interest to me, since I’m an offspring of those numerous Devlins of Arboe. Was there any follow-up in the newspaper subsequently or in court records that might reveal more info—such as who Anne was the wife or widow of? And if there were other children’s names given. Perhaps the daughter’s name or the children who had already left home, besides the two sons listed who were still living at home? A bouquet of roses to Len.
