These are my gt gt grandparents, who lived in Drumenagh townland.  Their son Henry, my gt grandfather, was recorded in the Atrea Church birth records as Henry Devlin (Ballymaguigan).  He married Jane Bradley (Broadley) and went to Glasgow.  Their son Henry married Margaret McDermott (McDermeid) Their youngest son, Joseph was my father.

I believe that Patrick Devlin and Mary McCartney later lived in Ballyronan Beg.  I have wills from Patrick and Mary which support this.  Patrick's occupation was given on his son's death certificate as blacksmith.

Are there any others here, related to this line?  I visited this area with the Ballymaguigan Roots website, who also had a good database of transcribed records from the area.

  • Dear June

    Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out

    I hope someone with a connection to the family will be in touch. In the meantime, I wanted to invite you to add your ancestor's details to our XO Chronicles. You can learn more about it HERE and it might be another avenue to consider so that your ancestor's details can be seen by others. 

    Best wishes

  • June - is that you?  I've been trying to reach you regarding your post stating that Jack and you may be 4th cousins.  We just sent our Ancestry dna in, so we don't have the results yet.  We are on familtyreedna already though.     Hoping to hear back from you soon!      Best,  Kathy Devlin
