Irish Landlords in Donegal

Bill:

Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!

www.askaboutireland.ie is probably your best source for the 1857 Griffiths Valuation. I don't know if this link will work but the landlord in 1857 for Mully townland was the Marquis of Conyngham.

I also located the Tithe records for Mully from 1833 but I don't see the landlord mentioned.

Many thanks, Roger

Roger,

    We plan to visit Ireland in 2021.  We will be in Inishkeel and looking for traces of our Campbell ancesters.  We beleive they came from Mully Townland.  Do you know if there is a cemetery in Mully or people living there.  If we come as planned, could we meet up with you?  Many thanks,

Bill McCafferty

I live near Baltimore Maryland.

There would be people living in Mully now but unlikely there would be a cemetery in the townland. From FindaGrave, it appears there are three cemeteries in the area   https://www.findagrave.com/cemetery-browse/Ireland/County-Donegal/Glent…

If your ancestors left before the Famine, it is unlikely there would be any headstones for your family that may have remained in Ireland.

The 1901 census for Mully townland did not show any Campbell families.

Here is a link to the local Catholic church in Glenties.
