Boyce of Cah townland, near Garvagh

[genid]

Trying to sort out the Boyce family of Cah townland.
I have a 2 Thomas Boyce's from Griffiths valuation - one a farmer, one a carpenter.
The farmer definitely had David born 1842 married Jane McLaughlin of Cah, later moved into Coleraine.
and possibly a Hugh.
Thomas, the farmer, might have had a father Robert - who had another son Robert who married Hester Moody, possibly a Matthew married Eliza Young (he died 1867 aged 48)
Are there any baptisms which might sort out the family or is anybody researching the Boyce family of this area.
I cannot figure out Thomas the carpenter.

Me again 

David Boyce married Jane McLaughlin on 26 April 1858 at Coleraine Registry Office, so David was probably born a bit earlier than 1842. A daughter Maggie (mother's maiden name as McGlaughlin) baptised 12 Apr.1891 at Aghadowey Presbyterian Church.

Robert Boyce married Ester Moody on 27 Feb.1855 also at Coleraine Registry Office. see reply #3

Will have to check some files to see what else I have.

... William Boyce son of Thomas married Joseph Archibalds daughter Anne Eliza Archibald, their children all born in the Garvagh area, I presume from Cah ( Crosshill ).  This is why I'm still trying to figure out the family from that area.
I noticed in an earlier query that you mention a Matthew Boyce, son of Robert of Craeshill - Crosshill in Cah ?? - Matthew died 20 Mar 1867 aged 48 yrs so is probably the one you mentioned as being baptisd in 1st Garvagh to a Robert Boyce - are there any other Boyce baptisms in the area - apart from Hugh Boyces family (a son of Thomas of Cah ??) in 2nd Garvagh, I can find no others.

Replying here just to keep all the Boyce information together.

There are 20 Boyce baptisms (1835-1986) in Main St. (2nd Garvagh) Presbyterian Church records, including the 3 early ones (1849-1853) where father is listed as Hugh Boyce of Caw. Unfortunately there's a gap in the record just after this so there could easily have been more Boyces baptised who do not appear in the records.

First Garvagh Presbyterian Church has at least 4 baptisms (1861-1870) for children of Hugh Boyce & Elizabeth Pollock.

There are also 14 Boyce baptisms (1887-1908) in Third Garvagh Presbyterian Church records- all from Crockindollagh & Caw.

Robert Boyce married Ester Moody on 27 Feb.1855 also at Coleraine Registry Office.

Coleraine Chronicle, 10 Mar.1955: At the Reformed Presbyterian Meeting House, Ballylaggan, on the 27th ulst., by the Rev. John Hart, Mr. Robert Boyce, Cawwood, to Esther, youngest daughter of Mr. John Moody, Cullyvenney.

Hi again - the earlier message was re Mary Jane Boyce who married Thomas James McQuilkin - you mentioned that her father Matthew might have been the one baptised in 1st Garvagh Pres in 1822 with a fathers name Robert - are there any more baptisms for this Robert or Thomas.
Robert Boyce was deceased before 1862 as in the Coleraine Chronicle of 22 March 1862, the death of Mrs Robert Boyce of Cah died on the 15th inst., relict of the late Robert Boyce, aged 87 yrs.
But would Thomas Boyce the farmer (Tom) be a another son of this Robert ??

Took me a while to find what earlier message you meant since it was a thread belonging to someone else-

Since so many Christian names were used over and over again it is extremely difficult to be entirely sure what the family groups were. For example, there were several Robert Boyce's around the one time so it's not easy to sort out which children might belong to which Robert.
