I copied the list of marriages prior to 1851 from the Ballykilkline web-site.
The names that most interest me are as follows:
James McDonnell married Bridget Gromley before 1811
Thomas McDonnell married Ann Derwin/Dervin in 1936 (my proven Ancestors)
Helen McDonnell married Patrick McDonnell before 1845
Is there any way to prove if these McDonnells are related to each other and what happened to them.
I know that Thomas and Ann both settled in Edinburgh, Scotland and named their children Bridget Mary, Thomas, Helen and John.
Based on Thomas’s 1855 Birth extract in Edinburgh, they had six girls and three boys deceased, before they arrived in Scotland.
Son Thomas and his wife Sarah McAwainey named their children Bridget Mary, John and James.
Thomas’s son John and his wife Catherine Malone named their children Sarah, John, Catherine, Mary, Anne Dervine, James, Thomas and Hugh.
Could this be a Paternal and Maternal naming pattern.
Any help that I can get, would be greatly appreciated.

Yes, Thomas McDonnell and Anne Derwin/Dervine married in 1836 not 1936.
In Druminardly you have Patrick McDonnell married to Mary Defley and James McDonnell married to Mary Maguire in 1879.
I believe that my Thomas McDonnell' mother was Ann Defley.
Also at the time of the Mass migration there was still four McDonnells living in Kilglass, they where Daniel, Patrick, Henry and Owen.
My problem is connecting them tp Thomas and Anne.
Any help I could get would be greatly appreciated, John
