There is also Margaret Friel b 1825 in Inver daughter of John and Margaret. Both are CofI There is no sign of a marriage. If the family you are looking for are RC, most of the registers in Donegal start around 1850 or later.

They immigrated by 1841, before the famine, to Portland, Maine. They may have arrived earlier but I’ve not found a definite match to the family in the 1840 US census. Margaret KANE / O'KANE b. ca 1791 Ireland, d. Dec 1869 Portland, Maine m. [I assume in County Donegal] Ireland to John FRIEL/O’FRIEL. John FRIEL/O’FRIEL may have died before his family emigrated, but certainly died before the 1850 census. He’s not listed on the burial plot where his wife is buried. In the 1850 census, his wife is a widow. I descend through their son William b. ca 1830 Ireland [very approximate, his age varies from record to record], d. 25 Nov 1900 Boston, Mass.; m. 16 Nov 1852 Portland, Maine to Margaret FRIEL b. ca 1837 Ireland, d. 13 Feb 1913 Charleston, Mass. I’m happy to share information on descendants of John FRIEL & Margaret KANE, if anyone is interested. I’ve not had luck finding baptism & marriage records for the family in County Donegal. Any suggestions would be much appreciated!
