James Donaldson born 11 Jan 1847 in Aughnacloy Tyrone (son of James 1825-1888 & Harriet McKean 1813-1881) & died in June 1912 in Clogher. He was married to Anne Murphy (died 1911)
Can someone pls tell me which county I should use for Clogher? Would it be Tyrone?
His siblings were Jane Donaldson born 6.8.1848 & William 6.1.1851; both also of Aughnacloy Tyrone. I am unsure where to go to find out information on these two ppl. Any help here would be very much appreciated
TY in advance

Karin,
Clogher is in Co Tyrone and so the Clogher parish board would be the best for this query.
I had a look for possible marriages for Jane & William but without success up to 1885. If they moved away they could be hard to trace. There were about 60 Wm Donaldson and 25 Jane Donaldson marriages across Ireland in the period up to 1885. You might want to work your way through them on the irishgenealogy site. The father’s occupation of whitesmith is not common so it should be easy enough to spot any involving your family.
James senior did have a daughter Margaret who married a Girvin. Link to previous enquiry about the family:
