Where in Donegal? .....

Post by rdem » Sun Apr 16, 2006 2:17 pm

Dennis Bon(n)a(e)r and Mary (reputed) O'Donnell are my gggreat grandparents. Their son Neil Bonnar gave his birthplace as Donegal on an 1855 bc of his daughter. so I am assuming his parents originated there also. That's all I have, I would love to find out where in Donegal.
Dempsey, Bon(n)ar, Brown, O'Donnell (2), Morgan, McDonald, McNeillis, Graham, Moor, Gallocher, Donnelly, Dougan.
Hampton, Stewart (2), Wilson (2), Main, Thomson, MacPherson, Thaw, Watson, Barclay, Kinloch, Brand (2) Murray, Harper. Edward(s) Nicol

If Dennis Bonner(sp) was still alive in 1857 ish there were 17 entries in Griffiths Valuation spread between the 3 civil parishes of Inishkeel, Lettermacaward and Templecrone. The 3 parishes are adjoining.

The only thing is, that in each entry there are O'Donnells nearby!!!

Do you have the names of Neils children? preferably unusual ones :lol:
