Hello Emma,
I came across these burials in Clogherhead old cemetery, which is located just north of Drogheda along the coast.
I am not sure if they are of any help. By posting on the Louth board may atract someone who may also be intrested in your Hoey's.
Regards
Noel

Thank you Noel!
That's brilliant! They're amazing photo's! You can even read the stones behind! The view at the end is great. It really gives a good idea of the surroundings. Thank you!
Only a true genealogist could have picked those out with the hidden clues, like being from Dublin and being known by another name!
Thank you again!
I hope you found some for yourself and had a good weekend.
All the best!

PS Interesting: my oldest Hoey solid link is Patrick Hoey farmer, who's son John James/John Joseph saddler, came to England. The others arem all family names. The latest censuses etc on the Lancashire board mention Louth, too.
The ones behind are Byrne's who are often nearby, but maybe they're just local names!
One from Dublin and our Hoey's seem to have come via Dublin, too.
Thank you again!

Hi Noel. I have spent a lot of time in that graveyard looking out over Clogherhead. The Black headstone for Joe Hoey is my fathers grave. His mother was born in Clogherhead Maryann Boylan she married a Dublin man Joseph Hoey. So the Hoey name is not linked with Co Louth. My brothers and sisters all called our father Charlie but nobody else would have known him by that name. My Father loved Clogherhead and it was his wish to be buired there. Noel Keep Posting. Good luck.
P.S. Emms we have been in touch before on the Dublin board.

Hi Noel and Highway
These Irish get more complicated the more information I find!
I've finally found my old notes and I'll send bits to you both and post bits in case we find any more links.
I hadn't forgotten High way!
Keep up the good work!

Hi and Thank you again Noel!
I hope you're finding some of yours too! Having spent years looking out fotr them brilliant to see something about real Hoey's in Ireland!
I've been looking at evcidence I've already got and odd Donaghue's etc but keep going round in circles!
Did any of your Gormans work in the police? a gggrandmother appears as the widow of a police officer, living next door to a Gorman who I think was in the police and was from Ireland, v late 19C, Lancashire.
I am away to scour these fantastic photo's!
Best wishes

Hi
I have Mary Ann Boylan, siblings and her parents and Grandparents etc in my Family Tree. It is great to know about the Hoey connection. Do you know anything about her other siblings Bridget, Rose,and Christy and their connections?

Hi Joan Earls.
In my Tree. Thomas Boylan married Mary Duffy 1901 Clogherhead. Children, Bridget born 1903 married and lived in Dublin died about 1970. Rose was her twin died 1914. Christy born 1907 was married and living in Dublin he died about 1970. Maryann Boylan born 1902 married Joseph Hoey in Dublin. If you have a connection to this family please contact me.

Hi
Thank you for your help.
My connection with the Boylan family is with my Great Grandmother Mary Boylan Circa 1838 who married Philip Owens and had 12 children including my Grandmother Agnes Owens. Mary's parent were Patrick Boylan and Mary Magork. Patrick and Mary had 5 children including a son Christopher circa 1845 who married Ann Lacey and had 3 children James, Thomas and Peter. I have been unable to find out any information on Thomas and Peter. However there was a Peter Boylan married in Ardee in 1896.
Although I have all births and sponsors from 1823-1847, there are 22 families of Boylans all inter entwined with the sponsors so it is difficult to make sense of who are who's brothers. Have you had any luck in that direction?
Many Thanks.

Hi Joan. This is all good infomation. I will have to go back and look at what I have, I am sure I will have information to give you. James Boylan who married Mary Duffy was my Great Grandfather. On his Marriage cert his father was Thomas Boylan, Sailor. I could never find out who this Thomas Boylan was, Could not find a birth cert for James so dont know who his mother was. The Ownes name has come up in my resarch.
Many Thanks.
