I'm coming late to this party, just signed up when I came across 'Patrick Hoey'. In my tree I have a Patrick Hoey married to Elizabeth Bridget Gregory. They appear in the 1841 English Census located in Warwickshire. I have the same information already mentioned by Dundee. My husband is a direct descendent through Rosanna Hoey and William Lee who had 15 children, his Grandmother was a LEE born in Port Fairy, Victoria (orginally named BELFAST). I have a considerable tree descending from these poeple, but like you would like to find out more about the Irish connection.
Wendy
I don't have any connection to "Patrick Hoey", so I'm sorry for hijacking this thread.
I wanted to leave a message for Wendy, as she is a new member I can't send her a PM, until she posts another three messages.
Wendy I notice you have listed Brocchi & Zeiss as people you are researching. I have these in my Tree, also some of the other names you have seem to ring bell with me.
So perhaps we could have a chat, about how we are connected.
