Hi Caroline,
Have you been able to find out any more information on your father's ancestry?
I don't know if I can help much but my mother's family in Liverpool and Ireland had connections with the Hoy family.
A John J W Hoy married Elizabeth Elliott; they were both born in 1865. Elizabeth Elliott was the daughter of my great-great grandparents Robert W Elliott and Mary Ann Brannigan. Robert died in 1867 and sometime thereafter Mary Ann migrated to Liverpool with some of her children. This would imply that Elizabeth Elliott, her daughter, was born in Ireland but probably married in Liverpool.
Elizabeth Elliott and John J W Hoy had five children - James (b 1887), John (b 1889), Robert (b 1891) Gladys (birthdate unknown; she married a Mr Jenkins) and Edna (birthdate also unknown).
Anything sound familiar here?
Good luck in your research.
Lynn
