New to both searching family history and this web site.
I can go back to my great grand father captain Robert Boggs who died with all crew member on the steel barge "Oesso" of Holyhead late 1800s.
Does any one have any information on Boggs family from Harvey Street.
Kind regards Samuel Boggs

Hi
Somehow - Robert Boggs is part of my family tree (father-in-law of fourth cousin)! He was born 1843 Kilnappy County Londonderry. Married Sarah Campbell. Mary was born on board the Devonia 10.4.1891. He was the Ships Master. Samuel Thomas was born 28 Mar 1893 at Harvey Street. He married an Eliza Jane McClements from Gortnaskey (where my grandfathers' family are from).....I have a bit more if you're interested....
-
Thank you for your interest ning26. I am building information to commence a family tree for my young son. I would be interested on any information on the Boggs family.
Thanks in advance & kind regards,
Samuel Boggs

Boggs from Londonderry. My ancestor John Boggs was the son of Robert Boggs of Fermanagh Ireland. Robert married Nancy McGill. Their son John and his wife Mary Ann Cunningham sailed for Sydney Australia in 1837 on the Adam Lodge. Does this ring a bell with your family research
-
Robert Boggs's daughter Mary who was born at sea was baptised at Carlisle Road Presbyterian Church on 5th May 1891.

Hi,
Just read your post. I know it's been a long time since you posted but Robert Boggs is also my husbands g grandfather.
I have been researching the Boggs family since about 2003. I went to Ireland and met some of the family around 2005.

Hello magster51, It is a dream of mine to find Boggs family in Ireland. I descend from John Boggs and Mary Anne Cunningham who sailed on the ship :Adam Lodge" and arrived in Sydney 1837. Does this ring a bell ? I would love to hear more from you. I am from Sydney Australia (*)

Sorry Shylieb I don't think this is one of my research families. My Boggs family is Robert Boggs wbo married Sarah Campbell.
-
Thank you for your message. Do you know of any other Boggs link I could follow. I should imagine that you have had to wade through many false leads. Regards Shylie

Hi I know how difficult it is to research Irish records, as there are not that many surviving today. When I started doing the family history I had to employ a researcher at first, as there were so few records available online (there are many more available now thankfully) I found Ancestry pretty good don't know if your on that site.
I think it's just a case of trawling through as many genealogy sites a possible and using forums such as this sometimes you get lucky.
-
Thank you for that advice. I have been trawling through but have got nowhere, What I was hoping for was maybe to find a brother or sister of John Boggs who did not emigrate . Thanks again Shylie

My 3x great grandmother was Isabella Boggs, born c. 1795 and married to George McKnight in Co. Fermanagh. I have DNA matches with descendants of your John Boggs.

I have a passing interest in the Boggs family from Londonderry from my Quaker research. I think it's called 'urban myth' but the story goes like this. A family of Livingstone's from Scotland settled on some land just Southeast of Derry City in the 1700s. There was some sort of persecution relating to their Scottish homelands and they changed their names to 'Boggs' How true this is, I don't know-but DNA carriers of the name could test it.
-
Have just discovered this site after googling my dad's name Thomas Samuel boggs was hoping for more info on family members I do know he's the last of his siblings to pass he went on 30th of Jan 2021
-
A website 'Bogstown.com' might help some viewers. There's a list of associated families which I found useful. The Livingstone's took the name Boggs, but it was an insiders joke because the land of Swantallow that became 'Elagh' was high ground, very fertile, highly desirable for commanding views of the countryside. Fascinating stuff with the Battle of Elagh featuring. Others may wish to comment on its veracity
