I am researching a possibly ancestor who resided in Raphoe area  ie Joseph Bogle b bef 1708 who married an Ann Evans, d/o Edmund Evans of Porth Farm, Montgomeryshire, Wales.  The Evans family moved to Ireland and settled in the Raphoe/Castlefinn area.  There were 3 sister ie

Ann Evans m to Joseph Bogle and had two sons and two daughters

1.  Kingsmill Evans Bogle b abt 1725 who went to Glasgow University Entry states that at Glasgow

                 University - Kingsmill Bogle was student No 937 year 1742 and in 1744 gained MA Degree.

                  Notes -

Ann, the youngest, married Joseph Bogle of Castlefin, by whom she had two sons, Kingsmill Evans Bogle, who died unmarried, and James Bogle (living 1762 ), ...

Mary, the eldest, married Charles Mansfield of Newtown
Stewart, Co. Tyrone, by whom she had two sons, Kingsmill Evans
Mansfield and George Mansfield, both of whom died unmarried
intestate and without issue Thereupon this third share of The
Porth property reverted equally between the heirs of Frances and
Ann.
Frances, the second daughter, married Charles Young, merchant,
of Armagh, by whom she had one son, James Young (living 1762),
who inherited his mother's moiety of The Porth.
Ann, the youngest, married Joseph Bogle of Castlefin, by whom
she had two sons, Kingsmill Evans Bogle, who died unmarried,
and James Bogle (living 1762), who inherited his mother's moiety,
as well as two daughters, Mary and Elizabeth.
In 1762, therefore, the cousins James Young and James Bogle were
the joint owners of The Porth. By the indenture of 2 May they
combined to hand it over to James Young's son, William Young of
Cloonaran, Co. Donegal, in whose person The Porth once again
acquired a single owner.
Then follows a gap covering some nine years for which no docu-
mentation has been located; but it would seem that during this period
William Young of Cloonaran disposed of the property, as by 1771 it
was in the possession of George Morris17 of Pentrenant. By agreement18
dated 7 December of that year George Morris sold The Porth for
? 2,081 to his cousin, Pryce Davies19 of Maesmawr Hall, the latter
paying ? 1,000 on 25 March 1772 and the balance on the following
29 September.

2. James Bogle  who d after 1762.  No details other than below

3. Mary Bogle  Notes -
Entry reads 1770 James Bogle of Castlefin, Co Donegal, Indiex to Prerogative Wills of Ireland Page 41.   There is no record of this will apparently as it was destroyed at the Four Courts in 1922 and only the record that it existed is recorded.   Note also Irish Wills Derry and Raphoe - Anne Bogill of Castlefinn, Parish of Donaghmore believed to be for 1758. It would seem that you are referring to an article by Major E. H. C. Davies entitled ‘Porth Farm, Caersws’, which appeared in the periodical Montgomeryshire Collections, Vol. 65, 1977, pp. 25-31; the relevant section of which is on p. 30 and reads as follows: 
Ann, the youngest, married Joseph Bogle of Castlefin, by whom
she had two sons, Kingsmill Evans Bogle, who died unmarried,
and James Bogle (living 1762), who inherited his mother's moiety,
as well as two daughters, Mary and Elizabeth.

4 Elizabeth Bogle - no details other than above

Edmund Evans had 2 other daughters

Mary Evans who m Charles Mansfield of Newtownstewart, Co Tyrone. They had two sons who died u/m.

Kingsmill Evans Mansfield - Whereas Kingsmill Evans Mansfield. Esq; ... has used his utmost industry among his acquaintances to turn into burlesque a multitude of ... injuries, etc. : [Two depositions follow, the first protesting his innocence of having had any criminal correspondence with his servant, etc].  Author: George QUINTIN Publisher: [Dublin?, 1751]

George Mansfield - d unmarried

Francis Evans who married  Charles  Young -= Notes - Frances, the second daughter, married Charles Young, merchant,  of Armagh, by whom she had one son, James Young (living 1762),
 who inherited his mother's moiety of The Porth.  James had a son William Young of Cloonaran (?) Co Donegal   Notes- April 12 1850 ....At Killygordon, on the 6th inst., in the 75th year of her age, MISS FRANCES YOUNG, daughter of the late WILLIAM YOUNG, of Cloonarrell in the county of Donegal, Esq

It is believed that William had a daughter Francis Young possibly of Cloonarrell.  The notes above for Francis Young may or may not relate tot he same person.

Thankyou

  • You mention Raphoe Presbyterian Church. Raphoe 1st?s earliest baptisms and marriages only start in 1829. (Earlier records presumably having been lost). Raphoe 2nd?s records start in 1860 but I suspect that was when the church opened.

    The Church of Ireland has the earliest records. They start in 1771 (with some gaps).

    There?s copies of these records in PRONI (the public record office) in Belfast. They are not on-line there, and a personal visit is required to view them.
