Hi all,
I'm in need of some help with more details on my GG Grandfather, James Hughes. I cannot confidently trace the line back further than him.
We know he came from Adavoyle (Aghadavoyle/Achadh an Dá Mhaoil).
I expect he is one or both of the James Hugheses listed in these censuses from 1901 (http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Armagh/Jonesborough/Adavoyle/1033734/) and 1911 (http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Armagh/Jonesborough/Aghadavoyle/304045/).
He was also very likely the James Hughes who married Julia Susan Kelly (1854–1896) on Sept 29 1870. (https://registers.nli.ie/registers/vtls000632567#page/111/mode/1up)
One parish register from nearby Killeavy Lower lists a James Hughes (https://registers.nli.ie/registers/vtls000632500#page/59/mode/1up), baptised 4 Mar 1840, son of a Patrick Hughes and Mary Gartlan.
Any insights would be appreciated!
Thank you,
M

I would suggest this website as a good place to start for Irish Genealogy:
https://www.irish-genealogy-toolkit.com/
You mentioned the townland:
https://www.townlands.ie/armagh/orior-upper/killevy-upper-orior-portion/aghadavoyle/
You can now check the tithe applotment for 1834-1835 in the parish:
http://www.irishgenealogyhub.com/armagh/tithe-applotments/killevy-parish.php
You can verify against the 1864 record:
http://www.irishgenealogyhub.com/armagh/griffiths-valuation/killevy-parish.php
You can then check the land revision records from 1865-1929:
https://www.nidirect.gov.uk/information-and-services/search-archives-online/valuation-revision-books
The James Hughes who died in 1912 did leave a will.

You can find the will on PRONI:
https://apps.proni.gov.uk/WillsCalendar_IE/WillsSearch.aspx
The marriage record in 1870 does list his father was Patrick Hughes.
https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/marriage_returns/marriages_1870/11391/8182540.pdf
Everything seems very consistent with your findings. I would suggest checking out the original tithe applotment records on PRONI and track the land until 1929; the will indicates that it goes to his son Patrick.

Patrick, thank you so much!
The 1913 will is new to me.
Very much appreciative,
M

Hi, I am tracing my Hughes family ancestors from Armagh and would like to compare notes. I think the James Hughes of Armagh mentioned could possibly be my 2GG. I think that his father was Patrick. The wife of James was Mary Cullen. Their son, John, was my great grandfather. (Other children include another John who passed as a child, Mary, Catherine, and Edward...). I am still sorting out the details but am hoping to connect with others who are researching the same family.
Best regards,
Jessie
