Well at least it saves you looking for the Robert who died...I was doing my Hall line and see McCoys married Hall, doing the Dudgeons the McCoys came in here etc but I haven't done the McCoys yet but families are connected so much between each other it is like a spider's web with all the connections.

Did William emigrate alone or with siblings?

Dave
           I believe he emigrated alone as far as I can tell , I picked him up in Liverpool when he was 20 years of age in Liverpool on the 1861 Census working as a Dock labourer and living in lodgings . I believe he married a Mary Ann Bethel in 1864 in Gateshead Tyne & Wear and he appears in the 1881, 1891 , 1901 , & 1911 census in this area working in the chemical copper works industries in the area .He died in 1918 and I am decended from his son Robert my grandfather.

Thanks Bryan, must keep any eye out on his siblings...they probably married McCoys!!!

          Marrying Mc Coys seemed to be a popular pastime with Mc Coys but it makes it a little more difficult tracking them I am still trying to get to Roberts parents assuming him to have being born around  1815  ish . It certainly keeps your mind active.

Hello,

My GG Grandmother was Mary McCoy.  She married Patrick Cassidy and settled in Emyvale, Monaghan.  The Irish Census records state that she was in born in Monaghan.  I found a birth record for a Mary Jane McCoy in the parish of Donagh born in 1848 which would match up to her estimated age from the census records.  The parents are listed as George and Mary Ann McCoy.  I also found a Robert McCoy with the same parents but in the parish of Errigal Truagh born 1842.  Any help with these McCoys would be much appreciated.

GGt Grandad Was Robert Mc Coy of Lennaught Married Jane Mc Coy Killygavna on 19th Nov 1838 [ She was also called Mc coy before they married ]. Witnesses were Joseph Mc Coy and James Mc Coy  My Gt Grandad William was baptised  5th July 1841 to Robt And Jane His siblings were Jane baptised 11th Jan 1849 , Robert baptised 7th April 1852
Gt Granmother Jane burial / death 16th Oct 1885 aged 70 years which would mean she was born in 1815 . I have been unable to trace Gt Gt Grandad Robert further back than his marriage in 1838 ie his birth / death I am still looking. I don't know if this info helps your research or not, but keep in touch if we are linked in any way OK

It seems that there is a connection but I have yet to map it out...  I am told my McCoy's are from the townland of Doogary.  The records I found were for Corraghbrack which is next to Doogary.  I found George McCoy married to Mary Neely, their children were Robert b.1842, Margaret b.1843, William b.1844, Mary Jane b.1848. (Whom I believe to be my GGGM)

The townland your Jane McCoy is from, Killygavna, is also next to Corraghbrack. There is a William McCoy and family living there on the 1911 census.  Do you know if this is your line?

With the close proximity and common given names I'd say the two families are related.  Perhaps Jane and George were siblings or cousins. 

Where is Lennaught?

Thanks for the help.

        I will have another look at the work I have done so far and get back to you asap about Lenaught etc Hopefully it will be a breakthrough for me as I  cannot get back further than 1838 for my GG grandad although as I explained my GG grandmother Jane Mc Coy was born in 1815 .
