Hello searching for information on my great great grandparents Neil Deeney born about 1835 Letter Kenny Donegal and Margaret Duggan or Dougan born about 1839 Falcaragh Donegal . They both came out to Australia on the Lady Elmur Bruce in 1859 with the Donegal relief fund. I have from death certificate they married in December 1858 in Talurreugh another certificate says married in Falcaragh. Is Talurreugh and Falcaragh known as the same place? I haven'' found a marriage record or baptism for either.
Margaret's parents listed as Annie Price and James Dargan (? misspelt) on death certificate. Neils parents ? Neal Deeney and Mary Delaney. Deeney has also been spelt Deeny.
Grateful for any information and also happy tp correspond with anyone also on the same search
Thankyou
Leanne

I think Talurreugh was meant to be Falcarragh. Falcarragh is a village in northwest Donegal https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falcarragh Unfortunately, RC records for that area of Donegal start after 1859 so no records would be available for the marriage.
If you are on Facebook, there is a group dedicated to Falcarragh, Crossroads, Gortahork which you may want to join. https://www.facebook.com/groups/176041022429045
FYI I have McFadden ancestors from the same general area.
