  • On rootsireland.ie, I found the following births/baptisms for children of David Huston and Mary Ann Coulter in Donegal. I did not find Charles. I hope the following is helpful.

                 Church Baptism      Huston           William          1859  Co. Donegal 

                Church Baptism       Huston           David  1866  Co. Donegal 

                Civil Birth      Huston           David  1866  Co. Donegal 

                Church Baptism       Huston           Alexander     1869  Co. Donegal

  • Click here to see Charles Heuston in the tithe applotments in 1830:

    http://titheapplotmentbooks.nationalarchives.ie/reels/tab//004625719/00…

     

    He had 20 acres, of which 8 were arable land and 12 were moorland.
