Left Ireland 1820-1846 Magee and McAnulty

Hi David,

Thank you for your message.

Do you have any other information you can share? Forenames, family relationships, religion, important dates etc.?

You could try searching for them in the Tithe Applotment Books. These are land records compiled between 1823 and 1837 in order to determine the amount which occupiers of agricultural holdings should pay in tithes to the Church of Ireland. You can search these here:

You could also try searching Church records for information. Most Catholic records are held locally. One website which may be useful is the Irish Times where they give an overview of what records are available in specific parishes. For Donegal/Killymard parish follow this link:

For Church of Ireland records check http://ireland.anglican.org/about/42 and http://www.nationalarchives.ie/. 

Family Search also have a huge online database of genealogical records. You can search these here: www.familysearch.org

For immigration records in Canada check the National Library and Archives at http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/index-e.html
