Hi faeone
I know it has been over 6 years since you posted about the McLaughlin family from Bolie.
Hopefully you are still a member of roots chat.
You mentioned Michael, Joseph and Owen Mclaughlin and their sister Minnie.
I'm currently researching them. I found the family in the 1901 census living at 65 Spencer Road, Derry and later in the 1911 census living in Winetavern Street, Dublin.

My maternal grandmother was Maggie McLaughlin and her dad was James, or Michael James Mclaughlin born about 1852 but unsure where, and he died in 1891. We are unsure how he was related to Michael, Joseph and Owen.
Michael and Joseph became famous in Ireland and America for their stained glass, sculptures, paintings and religious banners but unfortunately apart from some pictures of their works, we have been unable to find more information about them. If I could get your email address I can send you all the information I have about them including pictures of their work etc.
my email address is

Many thanks
