I'm researching two surnames, PORTER and COOPER, from the Castlederg townlands of Lisnacloon for Cooper and Coolcreaghy for Porter.
William Porter, b. ~1815, Co. Tyrone; d. 17 Jul 1883, Coolcreaghy.
m. Nancy "Ann" Cooper, b. ~1819, Co. Tyrone; d. 21 Jun 1905, Coolcreaghy.
Research points to William's father being Thomas Porter, also of Coolcreaghy, and mother as Fanny Gibson. Both died sometime before 1872.
Nancy Cooper was from Termonamongan Parish at time of marriage. Believe her father was Samuel Cooper of Lisnacloon as her firstborn son, my gg-grandfather was Samuel Porter, b. 1845, Coolcreaghy.
Samuel Cooper, b.~1792; d. 30 Jan 1872 in Lisnacloon; wife unknown.

They also lived with Laura's mother Sarah Dawson, who according to a 1911 census was 70 years old and a farmer. Looking for any information anyone has or if you are related and can provide any information. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Trying to put together a family tree book for my kids with any family an information I can find

My brick wall are my ancestors John Johnston and his wife Belle (Arabella, Isabella) Rainey. I have the record of the baptism of their daughter Sally (Sarah) at the Stewartstown 1st Presbyterian Church in 1818/19. John and Belle were living at Dernagh at the time.
I have been unable to find any record of a marriage of John and Belle, nor a baptism for either of them.
John was a bailiff for William Blacker who was the land agent for the Commissioners of Endowed Schools of Dungannon. John attempted to build a house in Derrytresk in 1842 but ran into problems with the locals who burnt him out twice. He must have succeeded because later documents have the family at that location.
I believe that the Johnston’s arrived fairly early in the Plantation period probably from the Annandale area of Scotland.

My GGG Grandmother, Matilda Yarrow, emigrated from Oritor in County Tyrone to Australia in 1842 with her two sisters, Eliza and Margaret. Matilda was approx 16, Eliza 21 and Margaret approx 17. Their parents were Mathew Yarrow and Margaret Nobbs. I have not been able to locate any online record of the parents - other than Mathew appearing in an 1826 Tithe Applotment record.

Hugh Devlin (1808-1870) and Olivia Stinson (1821-1875) were married in Ardboe, Co. Tyrone on 4 Feb 1835. I don't know who their parents were. Their first child, Peter, was baptized 12 Sept 1838, which may be a grandfather's first name. The child didn't survive. In 1839 the couple emigrated to Ste. Catherine's, Ontario, where they had at least 9 other children. I believe Olivia was Protestant and Hugh Catholic.

My maternal grandmother was Catherine Devine: Born March 25, 1889 in Plum Bridge, Omagh, County Tyrone. She came to the USA in 1906 and died May 5, 1965
Her parents were Anna McCormick [McCormack?] born in Ireland in 1861 [est] and died in Ireland in 1927 [est]; Her father was Charles Devine born in Ireland in 1851 [est] and died in Ireland 1923 [est].
I am interested in tracing the family tree earlier [ie, parents of Charles Devine and/or Anna McCormick for starters]. Any insights would be appreciated.

My great grandfather is William Curry. He was baptized on 4 August 1850 at the 2nd Donanghedy Presbyterian Church. Born in Sandville, Donangheady, Tyrone and his father is John Curry of Sandville and is listed as a Labourer. William was married to Catherine Ann Hamilton on September 19, 1972 at the Donagheady 2nd Presbyterian Church. William's father was listed as the Sexton to that Church. I have also found on the Griffith's Evaluation records (1847-1864)that John Curry had a house - Lessor was Rev. F.J. Portier. I am trying to find the name of John Curry's wife (and any information on her) when John was born and died. Also would like to find the date when William died. I know it is between July, August, September around 1890-91. He died before his last son was born in January 1891.
Looking at the Donagheady 2nd Presbyterian Church Records - Baptisms(April 1838 - July 1901) I have found William's baptism date. I also found MaryJane Curry who was baptised July 5, 1840 - father John - Sandville who is William's older sister. There are records that she ended up living with William's wife, Catherine, after William died. She never married. Also found John James Curry baptised Feb. 19, 1846..again father John..Sandville. I assume this is William's brother but have not found any other further information on him. Any information on William's father, mother or siblings would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
