James,
Are we permitted to ask for lodging/restaurant recommendations...if we
travel to Ireland?
If Maureen goes in September, Elwyn, who lives in Antrim, might have
ideas. When we went last September, I might have made different
arrangements. But the closest location (North/East) we got to was
lodgings around Raphoe/Stranalor- otherwise we were near Donegal town
and Sligo.
Just thought I'd ask.
All the best!
Valerie

Thank you so much Elwyn! More than I could have hoped for!
I looked forward to following up on your suggestions. We are

Gratefully,

Maureen,
Griffiths Valuation 1859 lists Thomas Donaldson in Tullynure.
He had plot 55 which was a 15 acre farm which he shared with
James Donaldson.
https://www.askaboutireland.ie/griffith-valuation/index.xml
This looks to be Thomas’s death in 1891, aged 84. His wife
had died before that.
https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/deaths_returns/deaths_1891/06084/4735831.pdf
Possible deaths for Thomas’s wife are Nancy 1866 aged 64,
Catherine 1864 aged 54, Ally 1865 aged 46. Those deaths are
not viewable free and if you want to see the details you need
to pay £2.50 a time on the GRONI site.
James Donaldson died in 1886 aged 78. He was a bachelor. He
was Thomas’s brother. Interestingly the informant for the
death was a Charles McCann of Caneese. Perhaps a relation of
Thomas McCann who married Hannah?
https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/deaths_returns/deaths_1886/06236/4785205.pdf
From PRONI wills site:
Probate abstract. Letters of Administration of the personal
estate of James Donaldson late of Tullynure County
Londonderry Farmer who died 10 November 1886 at same place
were granted at Londonderry to Thomas Donaldson of Tullynure
Farmer the Brother.
1831 census of Tullynure lists a Robert Donaldson whose
family consisted of 3 males and 7 females. All Church of
Ireland. At a guess, Robert may be Thomas & James father.
http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1831/Londonderry/Loughinsholin/Lissane/Tullynine/61/
No Donaldsons in Tullynure by the 1901 census.
1901 census of Caneese lists a Charles McCann, aged 70,
farming. Family was Roman Catholic. So that’s probably the
Charles who was the informant for James’ death.
http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Londonderry/Lisson_Upper/Canuse/1533836/
In 1831 there was a John McCann in Caneese. A total of 4
males, 4 females, all RC. 2 families living under the one roof:
http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1831/Londonderry/Loughinsholin/Lissane/Caneese/12/
1827 Tithe applotment records list 2 Donaldson and 1 McCanny
family farming in Caneese:
Tithe Applotment Books 1823-1838: Lissan Parish, county
Tyrone
<http://www.irishgenealogyhub.com/tyrone/tithe-applotment-books/parish-of-lissan.php>
Tithe Applotment Books 1823-1838: Lissan Parish, county
Tyrone
Tithe Applotment Books in county Tyrone. Lissan Parish
records online. County Tyrone genealogy and Tyrone Ancestry
<http://www.irishgenealogyhub.com/tyrone/tithe-applotment-books/parish-of-lissan.php>
Caneese and Tullynure share a common boundary so the McCann
and Donaldson families lived very close to each other. Just
a few hundred yards between the two properties.
Lissan RC baptism & marriage records are complete from 1839
onwards. Between 1822 and 1838, some fragments have survived.
So the Donaldsons from Tullynure appear to have been Church
of Ireland, not Presbyterian and the McCanns/McCarrons appear
to have been Roman Catholic. Yet you say the family was
Presbyterian in the US. Either they switched lanes somewhere
or perhaps it’s not the right family.
Hope the above helps a little.

Hello!
I am so happy to have found this site!
I am trying to push back on my husband's 2 x great-grandfather.
Thomas Kearnan (1840 - 1884) is buried in Port Byron, NY USA.
According to US Census records, Thomas was born in Ireland
He was married to Hannah Donaldson (1840 - 1912) who was born
in Ireland. The family in NY were Presbyterian so we suspect
they were from the North.
I have a marriage record of a Hannah Donaldson and a Thomas
McCann (?) on February 23, 1860 from Tullynane at the Parish
Church at the Parish of Lissan.
Thomas's father was listed as William McCann. Hannah's father
was listed as Thomas Donaldson.
A Thomas and Hannah McCarron (McCannon?) traveled to NY via
Liverpool on the Nottebahm arriving in 1863. It looks like
they had a daughter, Sarah, born on the ship who died before
they docked.
I can find no records connecting Thomas and Hannah on the
ship to the Thomas and Hannah who ended up in Port Byron, NY.
I do have a Civil War Pension card in which Hannah Kearnan is
claiming the pension of "Thomas McCarl alias Thomas Kearnan"
which makes me think that somewhere along the way Thomas
changed his last name.
Any leads or insights would be appreciated. Thank you!
Maureen Kearnan
