Many thanks for your reply. The earliest I have is Abraham James Hopkins Moody who was born in 1809 in Magilligan, parents John Moody and Mary Hopkins of Bolea. A brother of Abraham, born 1826, was stated to be of Gortmore Hall. The Ordnance survey map shows a Gortmore House but not a Gortmore Hall and having driven along the road from Magilligan Station "up the hill" I cannot remember a large house.
Again, many thanks
Regards

Members of the above family,s used to go to the Magilligan Presb Church from around 1700,s to well after 1880?
Parish priest used to be Rev Samuel Butler.
I have the picture of the grave of the Moody,s in St. Aidans R.C. churchyard ,
Many years ago Brian Mitchell was kind to go out there one Sunday with this family to take the photo for me,
l was very grateful
