Trying to Find Hoey relations from Ireland

[emmsthheight]

Hi Joanne Marie

Welcome to Rootschat!

What an appropriate place to start, with the Hoeys!  That's a really difficult place to start, most of my info has come from hints after they came to England, or even went to the states!  But you have only those few months.

Have you tried the various passenger lists, because some of the ships mannifests gove and address in the country the passenger lefet, and also destinatioon address and the relationship to the person living there.

My Hoeys look like coming from Louth or somewhere in that direction, via Dublin, though there is a family link with Belfast.  Haven't gone into that aprt from one census yet, not Hoeys but I bet they're dewscended from them!

I haven't met yours, but I'll see what I can find.

Best wishes

Hi Again!

I've just looked back at the rest of the post and realised the significance! 

Two people both looking for a James Urban Hoey, and both on their first post, that's amazing!

Too good to be true!

Let me know how you get on, and if I see anything I'll let you kn9ow.

Best wishes

 Hi Emms, thank you for the warm welcome!  I am in Pennsylvania and my mother was a Hoey.  About 20 years ago my grandmother turned 100 and a local Cardinal came to visit in honor of hre 100 years.  Her married name, of course, was Hoey. The Cardinal had worked in New York many years before coming to Pennsylvania.  He told her the day of the visit that he knew the name Hoey well from New York but it was uncommon in these parts.   I knew of my cousins  with the name but that is it.

Interestingly - looking in my local phone book this past year I saw the name Hoey and turns out a Hoey family lives nearby!  It is an unusual name and this was the first time I met anyone with the name outside of my family.  He is not related to my immediate branch - as we talked I found that he did not know where his family in Ireland was from either.

It is possible that this neighbor may be related to my grandfather's brothers children but from our conversation at that time it did not appear to be so.    My grandfather died in 1962,  I know my grandmother kept in touch with some of the sisters - and there may have been another sister named Martina - but that was a long time ago, and they were already elderly, and I do not know any members of that extended family.

I have not looked into passenger lists for Hoey - my ancestry research is a slow process at this time. 
My younger sister has had a lifeling interest in horses which she has shared with her children.  Learning the name "Hoey" means "horseman" and that the work of many of the Hoey's  was saddlery was VERY interesting.

Thanks again!!!

Hi Joan Marie

It's great to hear back from you.  Fancy you still having a family interest in horses.  I'nm gradually amassing stuff on Hoeys involved and seeing little links.  You've probably seen what's online.

When I have something that makes more sense I'll let you know.

Certainly my own family moved with the saddleras to Salford, and the other branches who had been involved in the saddlers in Heywood went to Australia and started out there, quite a large concern until the sixties.

I also know that there were Hoey's in New York who were leather workers, but I haven't joined the puzzle yet!  I imagine you've looked at all your censuses.

I'd love to know anything else yoou think of.  I'll have a look through my stuff, too..

Best wishes

Hi James Urban Hoey I born 1860 in Ireland came to Philadelphia and married a relative of mine.  His mother was widowed and came to US with her son James Urban while he was a very young boy so I don't know father's name. He married a Margaret Elizabeth McCassin in 1888 in Philadelphia...Kathy

Hi Barry

Was Ann's maiden name Hoey, or was that just after they were married?

Do you have any Australian cetificates?  I nkow the odd one  we have has much more information than ours, and it would make it easier ,to tie in.  Do you have an occupation?

Best wishes

Hi Emms,
Sorry, my mistake, Hoey is Annes' ( b 1794) married name.
Her maiden name is not known.
 We have even less about James Hoey senior and junior.
The only info we have presently, is from ships passenger lists 1839 and some BDM lists in Adelaide, South Aust.
 Thanks for your effort,
barry
