Hello Carol, I noticed your recent request, and as my name is David Chambers
I decided to do a few lookups in the IGI. I was especially interested to see
where "Conwal" was. Alexander Chambers was born 21 August 1894 in Co.
Donegal, parents David and Mary Jane. David and Mary Jane were married in Gortlee,
Co. Donegal on 24 April 1861. No church is named, but I will check on it.
I have checked on another local site, called Emerald Ancestors, but they
have no information on any Chambers in Co. Donegal, but plenty in adjacent Co.
Londonderry.
My own Chambers family are from the Banbridge, Co. Down area, so I have no
connection with yours.
Will keep you posted with what I find.
Regards,
David A Chambers,
Newtownards, Co. Down
Hi David! Thanks for responding to my email. You have my family mentioned below except I
have Alex born in 1864 not 1894??
David Chambers married Mary Jane McConnaghy (spelling???)she was about 18 when they got
married. David's father's name was also David as far as I can find out and Mary
Jane's father's name was Alexander. I have not been able to find any information
older than that.
I have been able to find names and birthdates of Alex Chambers siblings. He married
Margaret
Brown(e)?. Her mother and father's names were Patterson and Jane Cheatly (spelling)??
And on and on.
If you come up with anything I would really appreciate hearing from you or if you know of
different sites I might be able to look up.
I am a beginner at this so I am just stumbling my way around and get lucky at times.
Have a good day. Thanks again. Carol
