  • Regarding the Donnelly/Hamphey family who died this year, place of the marriage will be Bellaghy (not Bellagley). To trace a death this year (which will give you their address) you need to contact GRONI in Belfast. Recent records are not on-line but are available. You need to e-mail them or ring them and get them to look the record up. (There will be a fee to pay).

    Re Lucas, I noticed this probate file:

    Administration of the Unadministered Estate of George Lucas late of Ardiganny County Donegal Farmer who died 4 July 1905 granted at Londonderry to John Lockhart Farmer. Effects ?295 5s

    George evidently died intestate. His probate file should be either in PRONI in Belfast or in the National Archives, Dublin. (The abstratc is in both sets of indexes so not sure where the original file is held).
