Boyle, Agivey & Loughrey, Kilrea

[james cochnaghan]

Hi Aghadowey,

I'm researching my Boyle ancestors of Agivey (Landagivey/Glasgort & Bovagh), would like to see any Boyle info. you may have from the 1831 Census, if you don't mind. I'm also researching Loughreys of Kilrea, would you have 1831 Census information for the Kilrea area?

1831 Census for Agivey:
Mullagmore- John Boyle 3 males 6 females
   "   - Patk Boyle 2 males 2 females
Landagivey- Hugh Boyle- 3 males 4 females
   "   - Patk Boyle 4 males 3 females
   "   - Jane Boyle 5 females
Glasgort- Jms Boyle 2 males 4 females
   "   - Frans Boyle 4 males 3 females
   "   - Jams Boyle 4 males 3 females
   "   - Patk Boyle 2 maes 6 females, 1 male servant, 1 female servant
   "   - James Boyle 7 males 2 females
(all these households were Roman Catholic)

Do you have the Boyle from 1863 Ironmongers' Company Notes on Tenants and 1886 Ironmongers' Co. Tenants List?

Are you researching any particular Agivey family?

Thanks Aghadowey,

I'm researching Boyle's of Landagivey, descendants of John  Boyle & Margaret (Peggy) Jane Loughry. On their marriage certificate (1851) beside John Boyle's name in brackets was written Bovagh, would this mean John Boyle was born in Bovagh or just lived there at the time of their marriage? Was Bovagh anything to do with Mullaghmore, Landagivey or Glasgort? I'm assuming John Boyle (married 1851)would've been too young to be head of household at the time of the 1831 Census. John named his eldest son Hugh, so it's possible John's father was Hugh Boyle of Landagivey, if John followed the tradition of naming the eldest son after the paternal grandfather.  Are there anymore details on the 1831 Census for each family than you've already given, i.e. childrens names, ages?

Thanks, James.

Thanks Kingskerswell,

I have very little on my Kilrea Loughry ancestors, just that James Loughry was stated as the father of my Gt. Gt. Grandmother Margaret (Peggy) Jane Loughry on her 1851 Marriage Certificate (husband John Boyle). They were married at St. Anns R.C. Chapel in Kilrea. I wouldn't know if that chapel is/was in Kilrea Town or the townland of Claragh. Would you be able to advise me on that? I noticed a James Loughry stated as living in the High St of Kilrea in the Griffiths Valuation but again, wouldn't know if that James Loughry is my Gt. Gt. Gt. Grandfather or not.

Thanks again,

James.

The 1831 Census just lists head of household, number of males and females, servants and religion (R.C., Church of Ireland, Presbyterian, other).

Bovagh was the name used locally for the old R.C. Chapel (although it was actually in the townland of Mullaghinch which is adjacent to Bovagh)- it is on the present-day Mullaghinch Road although very difficult to see as the site is overgrown.

See that I've already given you 1863 notes here-

James,
          I can find the 12 Dec 1851 marriage of John Boyle to MARY JANE Loughry in Kilrea R.C. Church. The church appears to be within the town of Kilrea but the townland of Claragh is immediately north of the town.

The RC Church for the parish of Kilrea at that time was at Drumagarner, south of Kilrea on the road to Maghera

See here

The parish now has a second church located in Kilrea town but which is of recent construction.

Hi, I have written a short piece about the Boyles of Landagivey who were blacksmiths there for several generations. I had spoken with Jim Boyle who was the last blacksmith there when he was in his nineties.  I would like to take this further now and woud appreciate any further info and photographs either of the family or the forge.
