Cary:
I know your original post is several years old but I just came across it and am going to take a shot anyway. Hopefully you are still researching the Love/Richey families.
Ann Richey B:1836 is my 3rd great aunt who lived in Edrim Glebe Donegal. Her father was William (my 3rd Great Grandfather) B: 1783 and died on 22 October 1868 at the ripe age of 86. He passed in Edrim Glebe where it seems he lived his entire life. I have come across that he was married to a woman named Elizabeth B: @ 1802, no other information has been found regarding her. When William died his son Francis was present at his death. William is found in Irelands Griffiths Valuation of 1847-1864 in which he leased his land from Reverend William Hughs in the parish of Killymard Downland of Edrim Glebe. William and Elizabeth had had seven children;
Bell: B@1821 supposedly records show she immigrated to the USA but no other info found
George: B@ 1823
Catherine: B@ 1825
Thomas: B@1833
Anne: B@1836
Elizabeth: B@1839-1923 ( Married Alexander Brown)
Francis:@1843-1934
Ann did marry John Love when she was 18 years old and he was 26. They were married in Killymard Parish Church which was witnessed by a Andrew Williamson and John Scott. Both Ann and John's fathers were named William and all three were listed as farmers.
Ann and John had 6 children that are at least recorded and whose records survived (i have not been able to look at the Parish Register for any others)
Ellen: 14 July 1869
Alexander: 1872-1959
Margaret: 17 August 1874-
Andrew: 15 October 1876-1953
Mary: 27n April 1879-
Anne Jane: 1881-
Ann Richey died at the age of 72 on 6 April 1908.
In researching the Richey family I have found many different spellings, Richey, Ritchey, Ritchie etc...makes it more difficult but I have come to believe that some were unable to read and write therefore it was spelt phonetically.
If you were able to find any other information I would greatly appreciate you sharing it with me, that is if you ever get this message. A shot in the dark but isn't that what genealogy is!
Thanks and hopefully you get this.
