I would love to know the names of my Grandfathers brothers, also which year his father died, and where he would be buried. Any other information would be a bonus. I couldn't find them on the 1911 census. Thank you.

Welcome to Rootschat. Strangely enough this is the only Moody I can find in Lenamore townland at the moment-

PRONI (www.proni.gov.uk) has this a Will - "Probate of the Will of John Moody late of Lenamore County Londonderry Farmer who died 3 November 1916 granted at Londonderry to John Fleming Farmer."

Matching death in civil index- John Alexander Moody (age 81) Oct./Dec.1916 Limavady registration district. volume 1 page 423

Here's John Moody in 1911 census in Lenamore townland-

Unfortunately he's a widower so we can't find wife's name from that but 1901 census will soon be added to the National Archives website.

I have the following:
Solomon Moody of Lenamore died 30th April 1892 aged 60, described as labourer and bachelor.
John Alexander Moody 1836 - ? Lenamore married Hannah Gallenaugh
Robert Moody bapt at Lenamore 3 April 1839
William Moody 1842-? of Lenamore
William Moody of Lenamore m Mary Anne Lafferty nee Hopkins 1801-88

I don't know how these people fit in with your family. There were a lot of Moodys in Magilligan

[aghadowey]

I'm not related to the Moodys- I just posted some information for you. It looks as though the John Moody I found is the John Alexander Moody in your latest post.

Thank you Aghadowey and Cyclamen. It's a hard decision which person to choose . The John Moody from Lenamore looks like a possibility . His age 75 could tie in with my GG Grandfather maybe a brother or cousin.
Does anyone know which Church of Ireland my G Grandparents would have been married in?. It was a mixed marriage. Does the Church of Ireland keep records

Hi my computer sent the message before I was finished writing.
The William Moody  1842 with a question mark could be my GG Grandfather. Do you know where this information came from? Thank you.

Hi,
   Your G grandparents, James Moody and Mary McColgan were married in Tamlaghtard Church of Ireland. This is the parish church of Magilligan.

Regards

Added  Just noticed that my source gives your Grandmother's name as Elizabeth QUINN.

Most of the early Lenamore Moodys were Presbyterians and belonged to Magilligan Pres Church.

Hi Kingskerswell, 
That's fantastic information knowing the name  of the church. I was wondering if the church would have a record of my G Grandfathers burial?. He was married in 1890 CI and I know my grandfather was quite young when his father died, but I don't have a deceased date. If I could get his death certificate I would be able to find out the name of his mother my GG Grandmother.

My Grandmother Moody, her maiden name is definitely Querns. It's an unusual name , and I have a copy of the original Marriage Certificate. My Grandmother passed away when I was 35. The 1911 census spells it Querins and she was from Dungiven.  Thanks again.
