HUGHES from Annahaia, Killevy

[nelyducks]

First, thanks for a great site and keeping it orderly. I have learned much form just browsing. Now for some help!
I am looking for information concerning a Owen Hughes, my GG Grandfather. I have found out that he paid the Tithe in the Townland of Anahay (Annahaia) Killevy Parish in 1835. I am thinking that this is where he lived and raised his family of 13. My GG Grandmother Ann is listed in the Lower Killevy R C Church baptisms 1835 - 1900 to a Ownn Hughes and Mary McCoy. There are two Hughes listed and only one is a Hughes/McCoy family, so that makes me pretty sure that this is my family.  Also, three other children are listed, Patrick, Mary and Ellen Hughes who are on the baptism records. A John Hughes who is one of the children, is not. He immigrated to America before Ann did.  Is there any way to find out who the rest of the childen are? Are there any records etc. of Owen Hughes or Mary McCoy's parents?
I have seen what the site members can do in searching and I hope that my family is not to obscure for help. Once again, thank you for a great site and I do appreciate any help that you can give. I would hope I could return the favor. I am attaching the only picture I have of Ann Hughes

Thank you

Welcome to Rootschat. If you can give us an idea of dates we might be able to help (1835-1900 is too big a range).

Wow, that was a fast reply. The dates that I have for the baptism's are --

9 April 1840 for Mary of Owen Hughes and Mary McCoy
24 April 1842 for Patrick of "     ""         ""        ""
10 Dec 1844 for Ann of     "      ""         ""        ""
 1 Feb 1847 for Ellen of     "      ""         ""        ""
There is a John, but I have nothing on any dates for him.
All these dates are from Lower Killeavy Roman Catholic Records.

Thanks

According to one research site, my Hughes line stops at Owen. I think they have online sites and only go as far looking on the screen to research a name, could be wrong. Well, maybe now that I think about it, Owen lived in Annahaia and paid taxes there, his father might have lived there also. How much moving did they do in the early 1800's? Not sure of what kind of records there might be, but must be some cemetery's in the area that Owen and his fathers family could  possibly be buried in. Is there any records of cemeterys and those who are buried in them? Would there be any other avenues of research for this family? I don't feel like giving up just now as I have the Rogan's in Co. Down to look for. Any idea's out there? Thanks

Well, I sent to "Irish World" grave records to find out if Ann Hugh's parents are buried in Killvey Parish or if the rest of the family might be buried there. Nothing back yet, but if this research comes through, it would mean that my search for the Hughe's family will come to a end. I don't think that there is much more in the line of records in Ireland past the early 1800's, if your family were just farmers etc. If I find out anything about the graves of the Hughe's, I will post the information in the hopes that it will help someone else.

I have researched two things for Ann/Annie Hughes. I found a Passenger Manifest Record for what looks to be her coming from Ireland to the United States. This is the info on the manifest----------


Ship - Tuscarvia----Date - 15 June 1866 -------From - Liverpool --------To - Philadelphia

Name - Ann Hughes
Age - 19
Sex - F
Occupation - Servent-From - Ireland
To - United States with 2 boxes

I also had a  search initiated for Owen Hughes grave. They could not find his or his wife's but did find about 19 Hughes in grave yards in Killvey Parish. A few entry's give the townlands where the deceased lived. I can post this list if anyone needs the info. Now to find Annie's husband, James Rogan from Co. Down.
