Surnames of Magilligan parish

[bebbajohn]

Gortinamina,

Have been away from searching this line but wanted to say "Thanks" for the parish listing...  helps very much! 

Was wondering if you have any information re: the McKnogher/Nougher/ Knoughar line, specifically Ellen Knoughar m. Thomas Murphy, Coleraine,
Sept. 27, 1861?

Thanks again!
Den

Den,
      The marriage was performed in Coleraine Registrars Office and a parent check on the IGI using the names Thomas Murphy and Ellen (no Surname) gives two children
12 Oct 1864 Annie Murphy, Bushmills, mother NOCHER
17 Sept 1866 Alexander Murphy, Portrush, mother Knougher.
21 Jul 1868  Martha Murphy, Portrush mother Knogher
24 Jun 1870 Elizabeth Forsyth, Portrush, mother Nougher

Regards

Appreciate the look-up and confirmation! Missed the child Martha along the way but on the right track.  NHow to look up census information. 

Have a great day!

Den, missed saying that the last two come from a subscription site.

I can say that I have been lucky in the "translation" of the Nougher, Nocher, Knoughar / various spelling of this last name.   I used familysearch.org for the births & christenings quite some time ago and only recently came back to this name (I am also searching Jones in England and Kessler in Germany).  I tried the new beta format and was given the Knoughar adaption. I was hoping it would coincide with some of the already speculative information I possessed.
Alexander was listed on the 1900 cenus with his brother Thomas (my direct line) so I had to work backward. 

The naming of the first son after the father or wife's fathers' name is a challenge.  Now I have a step back in time that will help me move forward.

Thanks!

Hello!

Regarding the information located, and elsewhere, if an image is not online but through Family Search it indicates the image, source and reference numbers, will going to the LDS Facility provide any more information than what is provided on line?  Thanks!
