Many thanks for your reply. The earliest I have is Abraham James Hopkins Moody who was born in 1809 in Magilligan, parents John Moody and Mary Hopkins of Bolea. A brother of Abraham, born 1826, was stated to be of Gortmore Hall. The Ordnance survey map shows a Gortmore House but not a Gortmore Hall and having driven along the road from Magilligan Station "up the hill" I cannot remember a large house.
    Again, many thanks

Regards
I have copy of photo taken c1980s of what remained of Gortmore House (Hall as the family called it).  Will try to attach here. I have it because Alexander James Hopkins Moody (AJHM) was my gt.gt.grandfather.  Well it seams can't attach afterall.  Will reset pic in jpg and get back to you in few days
Cheers
