Samuel Farrell was born in Ireland in about 1831 and married Sarah MClennan

in Huron County, Ontario, Canada in 1860. Family tradition says he

was born In Donegal but I may be "whistling in the dark".

Can anyone help?

  • Jacquie, Hard to give a positive reply without the names of the parents.  There are 30+ Farrels in the Griffith Valuation (GV) database for Donegal.  The GV is practically the only record we have of this time frame and even this is a bit late for your Samuel.  The GV was taken in the mid 1800s.  The Tithe maybe of use to you @    http://goo.gl/aoxq3 .  The GV for Cty Donegal can be viewed on my site by surname or parish     http://goo.gl/MWHh5.  or at Ask About:   http://goo.gl/Tblzv   Also check out Lindel's website at  http://goo.gl/F2bOu.  If you are not a member of the three Rootsweb Donegal mailing lists you should join them there are many individuals who can assist you on these mailing lists. http://lists.rootsweb.ancestry.com/  look up Donegal.  Best I can do   Bob in CDN
