"I am told my McCoy's are from the townland of Doogary.  The records I found were for Corraghbrack which is next to Doogary.   The townland your Jane McCoy is from, Killygavna, is also next to Corraghbrack"

I don't wish to contradict you but merely assist you, Killygavna/Killygavney isn't next to Corraghbrack. Corraghbrack is in Donagh Parish.

Killygavna/Killygavney and Doogary/Doogry are next to each other South West of Emyvale.

Killygavna/Killygavney is in Tedavnet Parish and actually in Tedavnet Village opposite the RC Church, as is Doogary/Doogry and there are at least 10 townlands in between Corrabrack and Doogary/Doogry.

Corrabrack is North West of Emyvale.


As the crow flies they are 5 miles apart! there is a lot of misinformation out there so one needs to be careful.

"With the close proximity and common given names I'd say the two families are related."....  they are not in close proximity! Sorry to disappoint you but they weren't neighbours!

See www.logainm.ie for maps - one showing Tydavnet with Doogry, Killygavna/Killygavney, the other showing Corrabrack which is up the hills of North Monaghan

Thank you for the assistance, that's why I'm here asking the questions...  Maybe you can help me make sense of this. 

First my confusion came from the fact that there is a Corraghbrack townland on googlemaps that is next to Doogary and Killygavna.  However I am looking at the transcripts from the birth records I have and you are correct, it lists Corraghbrack in the Parish of Donagh.  The only land record of any McCoy there is a Peter McCoy on the 1833 Tithe Applotment records. 

I found a George McCoy on the Griffiths valuation in Killygavna along with Joseph, William and Robert.  Robert was also found on the townland of Doogary. 

My main problem is I have few pieces of information.  What I know to be facts are my GGGM was a McCoy, she was born in Monaghan, she lived in Emyvale and she is said to be from the townland of Doogary. 

Thanks again,

Rory

Are you sure it is Corraghbrack and not Corraduff as it is next to Doogary?

If you want I can download map, mark the townlands and send it to you if you want to PM me with an email address....then I can delete it and you can pass it on if anyone else needs it!

I'm not sure how many McCoy records you have but if you have a few you'll see how complicated they are..the earlier posts show how confusing they are..my g gran was a Dudgeon..Dudgeons married McCoys...my gg aunt was a Birch, they married McCoys and Halls..my Halls married McCoys..McCoys of Killygavna married McCoys of Killygavna, etc then descendants of these families intermarried.

Have you got a death cert for her?
