Wendy- Re your message about your Mcdevitts. Do you know what part of Donegal Charles McDevitt was from and what year he was born, or even any of his brothers or sisters names?
My grandfather was a Charles Mcdevitt, and his father was William McDevitt born in Convoy Donegal in 1863. I do know a bit about this family, but I cannot find any other Charles' in the family apart from my grandfather. They seemed to name children after relatives and I do wonder if there may be another Charles. Does this make any sense???
William had siblings named Margaret, Sarah, James, John, Catherine and Isabella. Their parents names were James McDevitt and Margaret Kennedy.
