Could someone.. H

[owenc]

Hello, I have done this family tree before. But now, someone is asking for evidence.

I lost everything, so now I have to start over and I can see why they are looking for evidence.

There are no births in Henry for the whole of Northern Ireland in the period 1865. So he has given the wrong age.

Here is his will:

From what I can see, I found a man who was born in 1874 and died in 1904 and that is how I connected him to Samuel henry of 1841 Garvagh 1st presbyterian.- This was on Emerald ancestors but I have no subscription anymore.
However, I would like this confirmed, as recently I have found a Hugh henry who was born in 1871 and died in 1904 in Coleraine.

"...died in 1904 in Coleraine"
Do you have the death certificate or a newspaper announcement giving place of death as Coleraine? or are you assuming Coleraine because that's what is listed in the registration index? Ballyrogan townland comes under Coleraine registration district and Will Extract does not indicate he died anywhere else but Ballyrogan.
"Administration of the estate of Hugh Henry late of Ballyrogan Liseall Garvagh County Londonderry Farmer who died 25 June 1904 granted at Londonderry to Bridget Henry Widow"

Your previous Henry thread-

How on earth are you connecting Hugh Henry a Catholic living in Ballyrogan in 1901 with a Samuel Henry a Presbyterian who was alive in 1841 in the same approximate area? They are not the same family. Not at all surprising someone is questioning this.

I think I found something on emerald ancestors. The way I made the link. I think was because Samuel was from garvagh and so was hugh, hugh was born in garvagh and he died in 1904.

And there is the possibility that he converted for the land. People do convert.

[aghadowey]

The Henrys of Ballyrogan are and have always been Catholic. Hugh Henry of Ballyrogan is NOT connected to the Presbyterian Henrys in the area.

Instead of wildly trying to attach different Henrys in the area to each other please tell us exactly who or what you are trying to find so that we can help you find the correct information.

And how do you know. Henry isn't really a catholic name.

I'm trying to find his father.

[aghadowey]

What do you mean 'Henry isn't really a catholic name.'

There are 2985 Catholics with the surname Henry in the 1901 Irish census- and 438 of them are living in County Londonderry.

Instead of wildly trying to attach different Henrys in the area to each other please tell us exactly who or what you are trying to find so that we can help you find the correct information.

I can't remember how I connected it I'm going to try and find the marriage stuff as I have a funny feeling that it says Samuel is the father on there. But I could be wrong.

[aghadowey]

For the last time- exactly who are you looking for? (facts not speculation please)

Owen,
        I am slightly confused but see if any of this helps.
Hugh Henry was born in 1874 to Samuel Henry and Rachel Taylor who married in Macosquin Presbyterian Church in 1865. A Samuel Henry was Baptised in Garvagh Presbyterian Church in 1841. What appears to be the family are available in the 1901 and 1911 census, living in Ballinteer.
I have no way of determining if the two Samuels are the same man.
