I am wondering if you might have any information as well as pictures on the following families of mine. The Dunn's of Creevedonnell, Hamiltons, and Tully-Smiths, and the Hanna family of Whitehouse Carrigan's. Here are some specifics I have from my family records:
I know some of my family originated outside of Tyrone but they ended up there at some point and I am trying to find cemetery records for the family so I can be as accurate as possible linking them together where they actually link.
2.
My 2nd Great Grandfather was John Dunn (1810-1879) from Creevedonnell, and his wife Margaret Hanna (1823-1884). Margaret was directly related (daughter) to the Samuel Hanna's of Whitehouse Carrigan's.
3.
My 4th Great Grandfather was Andrew Dunn (1740-1846) and his wife Jane Hamilton (1740-1794), Andrew originally from Cullion/Donagheady area, later farming in the Creevedonnell area. Andrew's wife Jane Hamilton is the daughter of Thomas Hamilton (1704-1763) and Agnes Stevenson. Thomas was a son of James Hamilton (of Tully) Jr. (1650-1755) and his wife Elizabeth of Tullys-Smith (1658-1721). Elizabeth died in the Magheramason area as I understand.
My Irish family (John Dunn 1845-1917) ended up in part migrating to Australia (South Australia first) then moved to Melbourne, Victoria where he married and settled down. His daughter (my Grandmother Alice Dunn) married William Joyce, an Irish convict descendent who's grandfather (Michael Joyce) was transported to Port Arthur, Tasmania, Australia circa 1847.
Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,

I just entered Surname Dunn; FIrstname Jane; Maiden Name Hamilton into the
Every Name Index - https://cotyroneireland.com/names.php
to find three entries on her.
I'm sure using the Every Name Index will turn up more entries.
Good luck
