Hi Jeffrey
I realise it was quite a while ago when you posted this, but I've only just found it now.
I'm researching Hoey's from Sunderland, who originated from Ireland, Co. Louth I think, during the Potato Famine.
My g grandfather was Owen Hoey b1875. He married Sarah Jane Stephenson and had 7 children.
John Hoey (1914)
George Hoey (1915)
Eleanor Hoey (1916)
Lilly (1917)
Victoria May (1918)
Margaret Ann (1921) and
Hugh Hoey (1922).
I think the years of birth might be approximate.
Owen's father was also called Owen (1847), born in Sunderland. He married Jane Deas (1851) and had the following children:
Margaret A Hoey (1872)
Owen Hoey (1875)
Mary Hoey (1877)
Jane Hoey (1879)
It was this Owen's father, John Hoey (1806) that was born in Ireland. John apparently had a brother called Owen who was 10 years older than him.
It's this ancestor that I'm having alot of trouble chasing. I know it's alot of information, but does this sound like your Hoey family?
I'd really appreciate any help or advise.
Thanks
Jane
