You will need to give us some details on which Hagertys and O'Donnells are
yours.
These are all Hagerty-O'Donnell marriages in Donegal, none came up in

Hi Katherine,
Have you already done your family history, or do you need to research it

Hi Bruce,
I am assuming that Samuel Hood was connected to the Hoods who owned the
large department store in Newtownstewart and is therefore a well known and
relatively wealthy branch of the Hoods.
Back in 2016, I researched the "minor" branches of Hoods from the
surrounding area, specifically Rob
Hi Bill,
Unfortunately there are at least six James Blacks living in Tyrone in the
Griffiths Valuation of 1859, which records every head of household. This
means you need some more clues.
There will be no civil birth for Alexander, which would be a clincher as
Alexander is a much less common nam
Patrick McQuinn and Ann Duffin are married . And Patrick Duffin and
Francis McWigan are witnesses. And McWigan is definitely the same as
McQuigan. As McQuinn might be too.

Apposite timing, Len, I am just working on a Henderson feasibility study
and searching newspapers is never a first priority for that as it is so
difficult to extract each morsel.
Just one quibble with all those "Esquires", I doubt my dirt poor

Christine,
I am assuming both sets married in England. Do you have their marriage
certs? We need to know the names of the fathers. Even then, it will be
very difficult without something more to go on than Tyrone because there
are no Civil Births before 1864. But at least a name of the father,
Hi Margaret,
I am a "researcher" currently working on a project very similar to the one
you describe. And after weeks of research, I have not found that magical
"smoking gun" which you seem to desire. Thankfully, I am not being

I am currently researching the Irwins of Claremore, Parish of Clogher,
County Tyrone, who also emigrated to Ontario. But since they came from
Clogher, that means they are NOT your Irwins. Except for the fact that we

Tee hee born 1850, no wonder I could not find him. He was hardly "a
child" when he emigrated in 1880!!
So, here is his Philly death cert:
Name: Rev James Trainor
Gender: Male
Race: White
Age: 59
Birth Date: 1856
Birth Place: Ireland
Death Date: 18 Jan 1916
Death Place: Philadelphia, Philadel
Coming up empty here, Patricia.
I cannot find any such birth registered in Omagh Reg Dist and I cannot find
James in the 1900 or 1910 US Fed Census, to see what details he gives, nor
in Philly deaths, which are usually so helpful. Do you have any more
details on him. Names of parents? Death dat

First a quick but very important correction. Your great grandparents,

Hi Len,
A small point.
As you say, the TABs are essential for researching the previous generation
and the only place to find them for Tyrone is at CTI, where you have
transcribed them. And they are essential viewing IF you know which parish

There are more Hacketts than I would have thought in Tyrone, and almost no

Well, to start with, Matilda cannot be born in 1859 and get married in

Apols for stating what might be ther obvious but the civil registration of

You will probably all be aware that the LDS aare not going to be sending

Omagh within ten years of 1900, which seemed a reasonable date to guess for
the marriage of the woman in the pic and the age of the son.
