I would like to connect with anyone who has Donnelly ancestors from Kirkinriola area of Antrim. Specifically, I am trying to verify whether a Daniel Donnelly b. 1843 (son of John Donnelly) and who married a Matilda McConaghy is one and the same as the Daniel Donnelly I believe to be my ancestor.

My Daniel Donnelly married a Protestant and these two named above were married in a registry office. My Daniel's son was named John, presumably after his father, and they had another son William, presumably after her father which the records verify.

Separately, there is a James Donnelly from this area we believe is the cousin of Daniel Donnelly. These families all moved to Derry in and around 1875-1880, but the only birth records that fit are from Antrim. And this part of Antrim is not so far from Derry if I am correct.

Thanks.
