One way is to locate the book "The O'Devlins of Tyrone: the Story of An Irish Sept," by Joseph Chubb Develin.There were several editions, but in the 1951 ed. there is a breakdown of where Devlins lived in Ireland turn of the century, I believe.The vast majority were in Tyrone, with a sizable colony in Donegal, on the Inishowen peninsula.The book shows what other places they lived.As a weaver, it's likely that your John was from somewhere in the North.Good luck!
