Sorry to be confusing. I meant to say "I'm glad to see that the marriage of John Bogs and Sarah Morgan is NOW back on FamilySearch". I stupidly typed NOT!

Right will leave you in peace and do something for W.I.

I'm afraid the Bill Mckafee link you sent doesn't work!

Thank you anyway!

Hi Jim

So they did listen to me then! I'm so pleased to see that the marriage of John Bogs and Sarah Morgan is not back on FamilySearch!

Shame they didn't reply to my email telling them it had disappeared!

Sorry forgot to say Yes Thank you I do have the Religious census record!

Also forgot to say about FamilySearch. It was on there I originally found the marriage of John Bogs and Sarah Morgan at St. Columb Cathedral so had a search done there and found it in 1746 but there are no other Boggs records there so they tell me!

The weird thing is that the last time I looked up this record again on FamilySearch it wasn't there! I wrote to them and reported it but they never came back to me!

I also saw that they now offer to do research for you for a fee if you fill out a form with a lot of info. So I spent ages doing all this but again no-one ever came back to me!

Has anyone had any success with this?

Hi Jim

Thank you again for trying to help. Unfortunately when I clicked on the 2nd link it said "ERROR 404 not found" What do I do about that?

The first one for the vicar at Magherafelt does work but I wonder if there isn't much point in bothering him because I already had a search done on these records which is how I acquired the info I already have!

I wonder if there is anywhere I could find out where John Boggs sister Catherine was born. Also there is no sign of her marriage there to Anthony Johnston only the christening of her son John Johnston. So where did they marry? I suppose I could ask the vicar if it was overlooked. Are you sure that's o.k.?
Vicars here are not usually expected to go searching for records. They are too busy! 

Are there any people doing the Johnston tree if not Boggs?

Best wishes

Thank you Jim

For your attempts to help me with my Bogg/Boggs family. Alexander might be in my tree but I have no way of knowing. Certainly it is not a name that has been handed down at all.

Names that are in the tree are John,often handed down. Edmund also often handed down. Thomas also handed down, Deborah handed down, Mary and Mary Ann handed down also James, Catherine, William, George, Godfrey, Ann, Caroline, Emma, Jane and Charles!

What other websites would you or other listers recommend for Irish genealogy?

Thank you!

I have finally managed it with your help! Very kind and patient of you!
Will now make a cup of tea and lie down to rest my poor old brain cells. What's left of them!

Ireland / BOGGS of Londonderry
« on: Saturday 01 February 14 11:11 GMT (UK)  »
Dear Listers

I wondered if anyone could help with my BOGG/BOGGS ancestors? My 3 x great grandfather was JOHN BOGGS born 1757 in Magherafelt, Londonderry. His parents were John Bogs and Sarah Morgan who married at St. Columb Cathedral, Londonderry in 1746. That's all I know about them.

John and Sarah also had a son James Boggs born 1748 Magherafelt and daughters Mary Boggs born 1753 Magherafelt and Catherine Boggs birthdate unknown but she married Anthony Johnston and they had a son John Johnson born in Magherafelt 1796. These records were found in Magherafelt Anglican church.

Can anyone help me to go any further? I wondered how I might find people in Londonderry named Boggs who might be related? Or is there another way? Do you have any ideas? My 2 x great grandfather Edmund Boggs settled in England and I come from that line so I know very little about Irish genealogy except that records are missing, destroyed or not kept in the first place!
Best wishes France
