    Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out and apologies for the delay in replying to your message. 

    As you can see from the link below, Templecarn is a Civil Parish in Co. Donegal:

    http://www.irishtimes.com/ancestor/fuses/townlands/index.cfm?fuseaction=TownlandsInCivil&civilparishid=792&civilparish=Templecarn&citycounty=Donegal

    Church of Ireland records for that parish begin in 1825 and records for the corresponding Roman Catholic Parish of Pettigo begin in 1851 while Belleek. Co. Fermanagh begin in 1820. 

    There are some places where you can search online for records of William and Jane, however these websites do not have complete collections and many do not cover the period after 1900:

    www.familysearch.org has a huge database of genealogical records including some church records for Ireland.

    www.rootsireland.ie have a large collection of Irish Church records, however you have to pay to use this site.

     http://www.ancestryireland.com/ :Ulster Historical Foundation

    Other important sources include the Tithe Applotment Books and Griffith?s Valuation. Even though these sources only record the head of the household, the information is very important and can be valuable:

    Tithe Applotment Books (1823-1837): http://titheapplotmentbooks.nationalarchives.ie/search/tab/index.jsp

    Griffith?s Valuation (1847-1864): http://www.askaboutireland.ie/griffith-valuation/

    The National Archives of Ireland: http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/search/  you can search the 1901/1911 Census on the National Archives page too, for instances of the family name at that time

    Remember to post any new information that you find here. The more information you post, the more likely it is that one of our volunteers will be able to advise or assist you. Also include information concerning which sources you may have already used so others may further your search.

    Best of luck with your search
