Hello

Questions:

1. Having exhautsed all on line searches, where would you suggest I start at the local level?

2. If the family was said to be from Dungiven and Roman Catholic, where was their likely church and National School of the early 1800's? And the graveyard?

I am going to be in the area for local research around Easter.

Might there be a local volunteer that could help navigate?

I would be forever grateful.

Warm regards

My great, great, great grandmother was Mary McCloskey who lived in or near Londonderry area. Records don't say if it was town or county. Maybe they were related.

She & hubby, John Carrolton, had a son named Henry Carlton, born December 1829, who left Londonderry in 1847 as a sailor-before-the-mast. He was in Ohio about 1850 then by mid 1850s had settled in Kansas on McDowell Creek in Davis County. He's buried there in St. Joseph Catholic Church.
