McNOCKER/CONNOR
FAMILY OF MONREAGH AND UPPER FAHAN, CO. DONEGAL
The families below fit into my family somewhere - either as cousins or siblings. Nothing more to go on at the moment.
1. Henry
McNOCKER/CONNOR of Inch Island born circa 1820 Co.
Donegal. Henry married Margaret CRUMLISH. On the 1857
Griffiths Valuations he is described as being of Monreagh,
died Monreagh 1870. Margaret came from Gortnaskea, Upper Fahan.
This couple are the great, great, great grandparents of
Martin who gave me this information. This family and their
descendants are Roman Catholics. It appears that about the mid
1860's the families who remained Catholic settled on the CONNOR
version of their surname whilst the ones who had adopted
Presbyterianism became McNAUGHER.
