Hello Valerie and Elwyn, As Elwyn has stated, it can be difficult locating the residences of weavers and labourers; in most instances they resided in humble cottages erected on farms where they were employed. You are most fortunate that the marriage announcement from the Londonderry Sentinel has survived. (see attachment) The following entries were extracted from the Carnone Church records: Carnone Presbyterian Church, Donaghmore Parish, Register of Baptisms Jan 8 1837: William son of Henry Allen & Barbara Feb 14 1844: Susan dau of Henry Allen & Barbara Sep 4 1846: Sarah dau of Henry Allen & Barbara No record of a baptism of Henry James
You may have greater success in finding data on the Stevensons who were numerous in Donaghmore parish and about Carnone. It is necessary to gather some knowledge of townlands within Donaghmore – see www.cotyroneireland.com/maps/donaghmore.html<http://www.cotyroneireland.com/maps/donaghmore.html> You will note that it borders Raphoe parish where there were several Allen families Have you referred to my numerous files relevant to Carnone?

According to the PRONI guide to church records, early records for that church are as follows: Baptisms, 1834-1984; marriages, 1846-1916. Henry Allen’s second marriage shows that at that date he was living in Carnone (Carnowen) townland. His father Hugh was a weaver.

Labourers and weavers can be particularly difficult to trace as they often moved about to follow available work and also sometimes their homes were of too low a value to be noted in Griffiths. There are no Allen households listed in Carnone in Griffiths in 1858. Indeed there were no Hugh Allens anywhere in Donegal that year.

I am Valerie Stewart from California, USA I am a descendant of Henry Allen and Barbara Stevenson, folks from Raphoe Parish, County Donegal, according to the records we've seen. I plan to visit County Donegal in September with my family and I am trying to determine where exactly my great-great parents lived. I have some church records for Henry Allen (born approx. 1814) that record his first marriage - April 16, 1838 to Barbara Stevenson, by the Rev. John P. Dickey at the Carnone, Presbyterain Church. Their 4 children were baptized there also - from 1840 - 1846. (William, Henry James, Susan and Sarah). Apparently Barbara died and in November 1850 Henry married Catherine Flood - same church/parish location. After that they left for the United States. Henry James Allen was my great- great grandfather who eventually settled in Nebraska. Is the Carnone Presbyterain Church still active? I would like to be able to find it. The changing of names of locations since that time - early-mid 1800s- is proving confusing for me, at least in finding what the current place names are. If you could point me to some local resource/person, I should be glad of the help. Many Thanks!
