Hi Carol,  I have not been on Rootschat for a long time but happened to see your query about James.  Unfortunately I do not have any information of your James, son of John and Mary Jane. You might want to look at my web site which contains my One-Name Study database on www.hunniford.net.  If you do gather any information on early Hunniford/Honeyfords I would be really interested in adding it to the database.  Regards.  James

The link between Smith and Honeyford must begin somewhere here.  I have no more solid information on this as I have concentrated on the Honeyford line but here are the source references for the events I mentioned.

John Honeyford baptized 23 Oct 1825: Drumcree Parish Register on microfilm at PRONI ref MIC/1/21/2/ A-B1.  His marriage to Margaret Ann Smith on 7 Aug 1861: Civil reg 1861 Strabane / Vol 7 / page 519.   His death in 1899: Civil reg 1899 Strabane /qtr 1/vol 10/p 251.

Frances (Fanny) Honeyford bap 7 Aug 1831: Drumcree P C Register at PRONI MIC 1/21/2/1. and marriage to William / Thomas Sweeney 30 Dec 1846 in Drumcree P C: Civil reg 1846 Lurgan/Vol7/p 519.  I am seeking my Sweeney contact's permission to pass on his details to you.

James.

Heather,
I might be able to add some info that could possibly give a link to Honeyford.
John Honeyford (1825 - 99) son of Benjamin Honeyford and Abigail ? married Margaret Ann Smith in the Wesleyan Chapel, Strabane on 16 October 1861. On the marriage cert John was described as a merchant, from Strabane, and Margaret as a Draper, a widow and daughter of Alexander McClelland a farmer.  Perhaps the Smith connection came in here. 

John's sister Frances Honeyford (b 1831) at the age of 16 had married William (aka Thomas) Sweeney in Drumcree Parish Church on 30 Dec 1846.  William/Thomas was 25 and from the same parish,  son of John Sweeney (deceased).  His occupation is not clear. I have been told that John went to Strabane with his nephew, Frances's son Thomas William Sweeney.  Directories show Sweeney and Co Egg and Butter Merchants operating in Strabane for many years.  I don't know who founded it and what John's role was in it. I have contact with a member of the Sweeney family who is also interested in family history.

Hope this is of interest. I will be happy to supply source details if you wish. 
James
