Ireland / Re: Trying to Find Hoey relations from Ireland
« on: Tuesday 20 May 08 21:28 BST (UK)  »
Hi Christopher,

Thanks for your post. I have seen the Griffith's Valuation with approx 60 references to the name James Hoey. I have looked at the original records on the Origins website to try and see if any of the names could possibly be my relative, but nothing was obvious.
I have tried Pigotts and Slaters trade directories but no James Hoey Shoemakers were apparent.
As you can see my brick wall has brought me to a halt so I thought I would try RootsChat to see if any one else could help.

Ireland / Trying to Find Hoey relations from Ireland
« on: Thursday 08 May 08 22:09 BST (UK)  »
Hello,

I am looking for some help in trying to trace my Hoey relatives from somewhere in Ireland.
James Hoey emigrated to England in the early 1870's. His father was also James Hoey but was deceased by the time the son married in England in 1875. I have tried all the usual routes to find where in Ireland they came from. Grave stones in England/Obituaries, but with no success. My family remember the name Drogheda from somewhere, but I have checked with the Louth and Meath libraries who have no parish birth records for James Hoey born approx 1848-1856 son of James Hoey. The fathers occupation was a shoemaker.

Any help would be appreciated
