I found the following Griffith Valuation listing for 'McGonigle', but unsure of the dates.  It would be no later than 1864 but could be as early as 1848.   It is possible that this list includes all whose names appeared in this list between these two years.   As you know, the Irish census records prior to 1900 were burned in two different fires.  Consequently, Irish genealogists use 'census substitutes' such as the Griffith Valuation to look for family.  Many of these names will also appear in the Tithe Applotment Records (Ireland) for 1823-24.  This is the only listing I could find for McGonigles in Killybegs. Usually Griffith's only shows the head of household and we may be seeing relatives (possibly several generations) in this listing for McGonigles.



Surname      Forename        Townland     Parish          County
Mc Gonigle   Francis         Ballyara   Killybegs Upper   Donegal
Mc Gonigle   Margaret        Ballyara   Killybegs Upper   Donegal

In the 1881 Business Listings in Colorado it shows Frank McGonigle's last name spelled as 'McGonnigle'.  Just for your information I found the following listed in County Donegal with the 'McGonnigle' surname.  This
spelling variation is not common:

Surname          Forename        Townland             Parish        County
Mc Gonnigle       William        Cashelreagh Glebe   Killaghtee     Donegal
Mc Gonnigle       William        Rathdonnell         Kilmacrenan    Donegal


I did find a lot of Murrins living in Killybegs Upper also.  The following lists all those Irish named 'James Murrin' as found in the Griffith Valuation.  This listing is for all Ireland:


Surname          Forename           Townland       Parish          County
Murrin           James               Kill           Kilcar         Donegal

Just for grins I have added the listings for 'Bridget Murrin' although it is too early to tell if it is even relevant:

Surname        Forename          Townland            Parish       County
Murrin         Bridget           Ardara          Killybegs Lower  Donegal

Mary Rita's genealogy chart shows Bridget McCloskey married to James
Murrin.

This is a listing of the McDonald surnames found in County Tipperary as shown in the Griffith's Valuation.   Margaret McDonald Hill more than likely was in America at this time.  This list may be important only in
showing where the McDonald family of County Tipperary was living in the mid nineteenth century.

Surname           Forename            Townland         Parish        County
Mc Donald         Bridget            Clonmel Road      Cordangan   Tipperary
Mc Donald         Colin              Queen Street      Nenagh      Tipperary
Mc Donald         Michael            Kiltillane        Templemore  Tipperary
Mc Donald         Joseph             Thurlestown Parks Thurles     Tipperary


I couldnt begin to tell you how many 'James Ryan' entries I found for County Tipperary.  Perhaps a couple hundred.   I even found 6 entries for 'Bartholomew Ryan', but I don't think Batt would have been listed as he
would have been too young at this time.  However, if you are interested in seeing this list too just let me know.

Terry and I thought James Ryan family may have lived close to the Boney family.  This is the Griffith Valuation for the Boney surnames in County Tipperary.

This is a listing of the Boney surnames found in the Griffith
Valuation:

Surname           Forename         Townland     Parish       County
Boney             Andrew           Lackamore    Kilvellane   Tipperary
Boney             Andrew           Lackamore    Kilvellane   Tipperary
Boney             Andrew           Lackamore    Kilvellane   Tipperary
Boney             James            Lackamore    Kilvellane   Tipperary
Boney             Patrick          Lackamore    Kilvellane   Tipperary
Boney             Edward           Lickfinn     Lickfinn     Tipperary
Boney             James            Lickfinn     Lickfinn     Tipperary
Boney             John             Lickfinn     Lickfinn     Tipperary
Boney             Margaret         Lickfinn     Lickfinn     Tipperary
Boney             Thomas           Lickfinn     Lickfinn     Tipperary


This is the listing for James Ryan for Parish 'Kivellane":

Surname      Forename      Townland            Parish     County

Ryan          James       Clonsingle         Kilvellane Tipperary

Ryan          James       Garryteige         Kilvellane Tipperary
Ryan          James       Newport,T          Kilvellane Tipperary
Ryan          James       Tullow             Kilvellane Tipperary

There were no entries for 'James Ryan' in Parish 'Lickfinn'.


Terry and I have not been able to find a 'School Hill' listed for County Tipperary.  It is possible this is an old placename no longer used.  I did find a National School in 'Ballinlonty Townland' in County Tipperary. In
1823 beside the school lived two families:  Dennis and Ellen Ryan, and Daniel Ryan.  There are a number of national schools located throughout Ireland and we think 'School Hill' may refer to one of these schools. 
We are still exploring.
