Hi Muse 426

Welcome to Rootschat!
Exciting!
Hoeys in Louth!
I am in England, but I've been looking for my Hoey family for a while now and I'm pretty sure that they came from Louth County then moved to Dublin area, before coming to Salford, now Greater Manchester England.
A cross hatched letter we have says that two of the family went to Ardee in late 19C. I think they were from the Castlebellingham area initially.
The family were saddlers, harness makers, shoemakers, horse breeders, labourers etc.
They must have come very close to your Hoeys even if they're not related. I don't really know the area but you sound as if you do.
My gg grandfather was John Hoey, saddler b 1827 approx, Dublin fr Patrick Hoey, mother unlknown. I suspect Patrick was born in |Louth. I think loafds of family will have emigrated, possibly America, including New York, but not pinned down.
I think Patrick may have had a brother William, who went to England, Manchester, too.
There are some family names in your list but not exact, Also, there are loads of Hoey Coleman relationships in Castlebellingham.
Does anything ring a bell?
There are loads of Hpey posts if you look at my list via the icon on the left.
Also, once you havethree posts you can send personal maeeages to avoid showing emails on the board.
I hope we can swap some info and maybe you can give me some ideas on the Louth area .
Best wishes.
Enjoy Rootschat!
