Argyllshire / Re: Where is Caolasraide or Coalasraide, Argyll?

I ran across this thread while researching Dugald McMurphie and Christy McLachlan who married in Tarbert in 1825 and emigrated in 1842 to Lobo.  They and their children are referenced in the pioneer document.  I will come back when I have sufficient additional or wilkl respond to questions.

Ireland / Re: The surname Russell in Ireland

My Russells appear to come from the Letterkenny (Church Hill) area of Donegal.  My branch ended up going to the Midland area of Ontario and bred like rabbits.  My wing was a William Russell c1803 who married a Maria Dever (Diver?) c1796. They were protestants as it happens.

Sorry for my error. It is interesting that Durham is absolutely rotten with Hooeys and Neys apparently interbreeding😁. Your Eliza may well be related to a Hooey/Ney branch that went off to Simcoe. My branch of Ney arrived in 1849 when father John proceeded to die but there were already connected with some resident Neys.

Hi RunKitty

Think your Stewart Hooey might be a son of my Great great grandfather David Hooey. If you are referring to a Stewart Hooey in the 1891 census born 1866.  His father was by then a widower and he resided with son Stewart and daughter Elizabeth. This Stewart's mother was Anne  Jamieson. Wrong. I have over extended my David is different. Thanks for the encouragement to check.

The Hooey's of Cartwright are there en mass and there seem to be a few Davids.
