The above mentioned grave is that of my Great-Uncles and Great -Aunt. It is situated in Dungiven, Co. Derry, but the name of the church is St. Patrick’s not St. Mary’s.

You mention a Michael McGilligan 1858 and have a headstone from Dungiven.
I researched a Micheal McGilligan who moved to Hartlepool in Durham England, was a councillor and Landlord. My Grandmother worked in his Pub in 1901.
any connection?

Frank,
Perhaps but I have no proof. I do have a contact in Canada who is researching this family. I’ll ask her and get back to you.

Hi Frank, Recently I became aware of the McGilligan connection to West Hartlepool, County Durham, England. What more can you tell me about Michael McGilligan (1856-1927). I know he married Mary Ann O’Boyle and owned a pub in West Hartlepool. His birthplace is listed as Dungiven, County Londonderry, Ireland in the 1901 and 1911 census of England.
