I am looking for any info on my grandfather Frank McLaughlin who lived around Killeter in Tyrone. He had siblings, I don't know all their names but some of them. Brothers Joe, Jeremiah and sisters Susan. That's all I know. All born between 1890 and 1900 plus or minus some years. My grandfather Frank married Anne Laverty from Co. Donegal. Any info would be much appreciated

Anna,
Here’s Frank’s marriage certificate which tells us his father was Robert McLaughlin, a farmer, and also that Frank was born 13.11.1892.
That then leads to this birth in Golandun:
Family in 1901. The precise townland is Golandun (Dolan):

1911:

Probably Frank in 1911:

Parents marriage 1872:
Some probate abstracts for the family:

McLaughlin Jane of Golandun Killeter Strabane county Tyrone spinster died 17 December 1945 Administration Londonderry 15 October to Jeremiah McLaughlin farmer. Effects £43 9s. 3d
McLaughlin Patrick of Golandun Killeter Strabane county Tyrone farmer died 5 September 1949 Administration Londonderry 1 October to James McLaughlin farmer. Effects £770 1s. 5d.

McLaughlin, Elizabeth Josephine of Golandun Killeter Castlederg county Tyrone spinster died 4 December 1964 Administration Londonderry 18 February to Francis McLaughlin retired merchant. Effects £620 16s.
All the above died intestate. So no wills, but there should be probate files in PRONI in Belfast (when it re-opens).
The farm was the entire townland of Golandun (Dolan) (447 acres). In Griffiths Valuation in 1860 it was being run by Robert McLaughlin in partnership with Daniel McMenamin.
