I am looking for any information on the Newel (Newell)/Loughrey (Loughery) families possibly from Philipstown, Co Offaly. My g grandmother was Mary Newell and she married Thomas Loughery (Loughrey). Where and when they were married is not known. They were living in Dublin City from at least 1886 when a daughter Anne was born. Any information greatly received.

hi my 6xgrt grandfather was william loughrey brn in 1800, im unsure of where but he married a woman called alice donelly. this may not be relative to your ancestors, but thought maybe you maybe have heard of him because its the same surname :D
-
Do you have any later information on this Loughrey? I cant find my file at the moment but I will keep looking for it. Just moved house so things yet to unpack! Loughrey/Loughery is not a common name so there could be some connection. Cheers and Happy New Year!

* 06 Jan 1861 in Poorhouse in the Landward of New Monkland, Lanark
him and alice donnelly

#
Edward Lochrie
B:
abt 1836
Co. Down, Ireland, United Kingdom
D:
18 Feb 1884
West Longrigg, New Monkland, Lanark, Scotland
im unsure of when and how his name had been changed but william also died with the surname loughrey and his parents are not on his death cert.
at the time of edwards marriage in 1858 williams wife alice was already dead, it would be good to find a match somewhere as ive been searching for over 5 years now. merry christmas and good luck with your new house, i myself have just moved and still have loads to unpack. x

The surname Loughrey (and variations) is actually not that uncommon in Northern Ireland and it shouldn't be assumed that anyone with the surname is related to others with the same surname.
As with all research, you need to go through all available sources step-by-step in a locagical manner. With Irish research the two most inmportant pieces of information needed to start searching is a family's religion and where they lived (parish if not actual townland) not just the county.

thankyou
-
Thank u aghadowey - would never have thought of that if I had not have been doing this type of thing for the last 15 years! I have studied the name Loughrey and its variations for a many number of years. The spelling does depend greatly on where a family originated as I am sure u know. Looking at the spelling first mentioned and the location by minnie it was not remiss of me to indicate there may be some connection.
-
And I've been doing research in Northern Ireland even longer than you but know that minnie is new to this :)

Could not do it any longer not old enough. Spent 5 years getting my degree in history x

Edward Lochrie was my Great Grandfather. He married Janet Hamilton in New Monkland, Lanarkshire, Scotland. His son William, married Martha Bell who was from Ballymena. William and Martha had 5 children. I have only just started with my family history, so i am sorry i cannot help you any further. Good luck with your search.
