Subject: MURRAY family and info on Creggan Chapel

Hi listers- I am seeking information on the following family:
James MURRAY born 29 OCT. 1856 in Londonderry parents: Daniel Murray and Margaret Mclaughlin
Margaret CONNOR b. 1861(?) in Londonderry parents: John Connor and Mary McDevitt

I have been told they both were baptized at Creggan Chapel but that the chapel burned. I don't know if the chapel was in Londonderry or in a townland and am hoping someone might be able to advise. Also if Creggan Chapel had a graveyard or not would be helpful! I know that James had siblings Henry (with whom he immigrated to the US), Martha , Ellen and Sarah Jane.
I have been told that James and Margaret had 4 children before he immigrated in 1884-she later joined him in Charlestown, MA. If anyone has any other leads on where I might check to find this family, please advise!!
Thanks in advance!
Deb
