in the marriage records it will give the mother and father off both of them,as in the birth records.But also that som chrches refused to hand their records in,and while searching it can be confusing and have to contact the churches involved one by one.

Hi also in Ballycarry Church there is headstones for both Hoy and Hoey,and when i was researching my Hoys i found that all the Hoys in the Antrim/Down areas were Presbyterian so check their church records,there is also a small graveyard just outside Ballycarry with Hoys in it,one William Hoy burried in it lived in Carryduff  in mid 1800s,couldnt find any connection in records with our Hoys and Whitehead Hoys but strange one of ours buried there.The Ballycarry church records should get you what you want,

Hi ,Your Hoys were a large family,Your William Hoy had a lot of brothers and sisters.I have seen the church records for them,They owned a Boatyard in Whitehead and sailed with cargo between Ireland and Scotland. Your William Hoy had two brothers drown on the great lakes in USA.The whitehead Hoys have a great history,and Ballycarry is only about 2miles from Whitehead,My Hoys came from Carryduff which is about 10miles from Whitehead,The Church records are good and if you look up the public records website for Northern Ireland they have the records on microfilm and do a search for you for a small fee,I still live near Carryduff,
