Hi. Im looking to find info for my Irish Ancester. Annie Sarah Porter was born abt 1863 in Ireland. All i knew that she was born Ireland and was rumoured to be born Cork. But then a stroke of discovery i had info from the English 1911 census that stated she was born Tillgrap Donegal. From a previous thread a nice person found that there was a township of Tullyrap in the parish of Taughboyne Barony of Raphoe. Co Donegal. Im now looking if there are websites i can try and find a baptism for her.
All i know her father was Robert Porter from her marraige record and Annie had a sister called Esther that i found she was living with on the 1881 census who was born abt 1854. That is all i can find abt the Porters so i would really appreaciate any help.

Thanks Joan.
I saw that one on the igi but the only thing that put me off is that its 5 years out which is quite alot. All the way thorough census her year of birth never varied that much, even on the death register.
Thanks for the information, i think the areas arent that far away from each other are they?
