Mc Coys of Glaslough Monaghan

[hallmark]

Just working on Dudgeons and came across this;  Tedavnet;  3rd Jan 1843 William Dudgeon Married Mary McCoy, Killygavna  witnesses were William McCoy + Thomas Mason, seems the McCoys crop up a bit on my tree as on 20th June 1901 William Birch son, Thomas William Birch, Rarutagh, Donagh Parish, Married  Jane McCoy dau, William  McCoy, Killygavna and  the Kiilygana McCoys also connect to a few others on my tree...only on peripheral lines though.

19th Nov 1838 Robert McCoy, Lennaght, Married  Jane McCoy, Killygavna  witnesses Joseph McCoy + James McCoy.

The birth on 11th Jan 1849   Mary dau, Robert + Jane McCoy [nee McCoy], Killygavna shows that Robert McCoy married Jane McCoy hence my usage of [nee McCoy], the 5th July 1841  Baptism looks like your William! So you have a brother and sister for him.

Another McCoy/McCoy marriage in Tedavnet; 14th April 1837 John McCoy, Killygavna  Married  Elizabeth  McCoy, Killygavna so they look like a close family!!

thats great it looks as though the Mc Coys were plentiful in that area and it certainly helps in my research to establish a brother and sister for William .Thank you for your help

Plentiful is one word for it...

Even your addtional data is helpful, knowing he went to Liverpool etc. Doing my extended lines the McCoy name pops up so many times.

The Dudgeon name has not cropped up in my research so far although one of my brothers had a close friend named Jimmy Dudgeon in our Hebburn  Tyne and wear home town .If it would be of any help I could find out as much as I could

Thanks, The Dudgeons are the easy part as there are living relatives still in Monaghan...wonder if your Jimmy was one of them! It would be interesting to find out.

I have most of them but haven't spent too much time on them as I can get all the lines, as a result I don't even have them all on my tree yet! . at least there is that Dudgeon/McCoy of  Kiilygavna connection.

         When I see my brother I will see if he has any info about Jimmy, the Mc Coy  links on your tree are interesting as you say meanwhile I will plod on with my research

Well you now have the mother's name! You may not get back much further as church records only start around then, maybe back to 1800, which may get you the parents of Robert and Jane. With the marriage in 1838 you would be looking for a birth for them about 1815 era.

Dave
          With Jane being born in 1815 and assuming Robert to be maybe a couple of years older that is going to be the next stage of my search and see what I can come up with
