help required looking for heaveys

Thank you for relaying the origins of the Heavey's.  I don't think you were replying to me, but this may help us find the origins of our Dooley family, as there was a Mary Heavey travelling on an Irish 'brideship' along with my great great grandmother, Mary Dooley, to Australia 1852.  We knew Mary Heavey was from Co Galway, but did not know where our Mary Dooley was from.  There was always the possibility that these girls were cousins.

Thank you again

Hi Audrey,

I came across this accidentally and it is really fascinating.

Do you know if the spelling in the Church records was always accurate? My great great grandparents had similar names (Heavey versus Heavy and Lohan or Logan versus Loghan) and I think this could be them. Would the baptismal records be available for their children which might throw some light on this.

Thank you.

Joe

As an fyi the 1901 Census for Ireland is now all on-line.

Previously just the 1911 census was there but the 1901 was added and went live last week.
