Trying to located place of birth for James Brogan who married Hannah McBrearty (in Glasgow).  Both are from the Inver area of Donegal mid 1800s. 

James parents were James Brogan and Sarah Griffin.

Hannah McBrearty's parents were:  George MecBreaty and Mary Martin.

My mother was from MtCharles, Hannah Brogan, parents Michael Brogan and Agnes (Agatha) Griffith of Scrawhill, parents Edward Griffth and Rose Dorrian.  Michael moved back to the area from Glasgow.  Michael was son of James Brogan and Hannah McBrearty.

  • Rory,

     

    Thanks for the reply and passing on the data.

     

    I think my James was in Glasgow prior to the start of civil regestration.  To bad my mother (Mountcharles town) didn't know anything about him.  I have data of him from Glasgow but so far have been unable to find him in any of the data available to me in Donegal. 

     

    Merry Christmas

  • Mountcharles has a facebook page, it may be worth sending a message to the admin. There would be a lot of people who may know things but they're just not into geneology on the net.
