Hi,
   The "Elizabeth" in your quote was a Hopkins. She married Abraham James Moody in Limavady in 1849.

Gortinamina, your research on the Magilligan parish surnames has been most interesting.  I am researching Cummings of Ballycarton and McDermott of Duncrun ancestors.  At least I will be ableto look for variations of that surname in various records.

Once again Thank you.

Regards.

I have a list of headstone inscriptions for St Aiden's. Sorry no Shannons or Hopkins!

I noted an early Shannon/Hopkins marriage in Drumachose [Limavady] Church of Ireland
c1729/30

Oct 12   James Shanan of this parish & Ruth Hopkins of ye p’ish of Aghanlow were mar’d by licence

In the 1740 Protestant Householders' returns Harry Cummings was in Carnowry.

In a valuation of the Hervy Bruce estate in Magilligan dated after 1806 and before 1823
there was a Samuel & James McCummins in Tircreevan and an Edward McDermott in Drumahorgan.

I have just read your post quoting passages out of Abraham Moody's Diary.  Could you tell me more about it, is it available for reading?  I am a direct decendant of Israel Moody mentioned in this same post.  I would be most interested to find out more.
