I've Olivers in my connection and I remember Brian Mitchell of the Derry Genealogy Centre mentioning years ago they'd done research on the family for a client and were able to trace them back much farther than most families (can't remember date).

Thanks aghadowey

Would be interesting to know. 
Lislane is our closest link, found some that went to America in contact with them now.  Have relatives in Aghadowey  as well going back 100 years married into Cunningham's.  Have the Oliver's in Lislane going back till 1663 but hard to tie them in up till 1800s.

I know the Cunningham/Oliver connection in Aghadowey (everyone is related to everyone else here) but my Oliver connection is a bit more recent.

Very good.  Had rang Brain at the Derry Genealogy Centre two years ago, been meaning to call but haven't called yet.  Trying to get all info sorted that I have then call.  There was Oliver's about Englishtown.
