Trying to find out information on my ggreatgrandparents John White and Elizabeth Dicson, Dickson, Dixson as well as my great grandmother Mary Ann White born between 1856 and 1858. I believe to be in the Fahan area.
John White would of been born about 1826 and Elizabeth Dixson about 1828 if the marriage record I have for them is correct. I have their marriage of being 10 Jul 1851 in Fahan,
I have not been able to find the birth record of my greatgrandmother Mary Ann White but based on records here in the states when she came over in 1885 shortly after she married my ggrandfather William McKane, her birth was either 1856 and 1858.
I did however find births for her sister Eliza who also came to the states around the time my ggrandmother did. Eliza was born in Nov 1864 in Fahan. I have also found other siblings of my ggrandmother's births all born in Fahan. born to John White and Elizabeth Dickson.
Although I feel this family were in Fahan til 1870 only through the birth records I have found..I believe that this family could of ended up in Strabane.
Looking for direction I guess. I did find a John White in the tithe's for Donegal, clonleigh parish, Lifford Park, year 1826 but not knowing if this would be my John White.
I know that my greatgrandfather's maternal side of the family (the Doaks) was traced being in at one time the Clondavaddog parish and in Swilly area which I believe that Mary Ann's family is from if I am correct. unless Fanal and Fahan are two seperate places.
