There is no guarantee this is him but there leaves a possibility. He could have even been gone before 1864 but whomever was responsible for recording the changes to the evaluations did not make note of this until 1864. What I do know is this at least proves evident there was a person named George McConkey (McConchy) living in Co. Tyrone Prior to 1870.

Hi Robert I think I have talked to Ray. My 4th great Grandmother was Letitia Moorhead Huey.. Hueys and Moorheads may be from near there.. Letitia Moorhead and James Huey have Mary Jane, John and James in Leckpatrick Tyrone Letitia is born in 1811 John is born in Derryloran Tyrone c. 1800 as is Elizabeth.. and David All born to James and Isabella Moorhead from Derryloran. The father of James Moorhead is John from Derryloran. Mary Jane Huey’s parents were Protestant but the Moorheads may have been Catholic. I am not sure. Mary Jane Huey marries James Sweeney, a Catholic and they come to Philadelphia on the Mohongo in 1853. They were all farmers and they went to Southern New Jersey immediately to farm. Does this seem like your family? Kathleen Carrow Ingram

Hello Robert. I don't think that we have been in touch before about MOORHEADs. Would like to chat with you about them though. I have NO proof of a connection with the MOORHEADs of Ballymullerty at all; but do have a very strong 'gut' feeling that it is there; due to the strong PARK connection with the same parish and townland --- as one of my Thomas MOORHEAD antecedents married an Elizabeth PARK -- and one small piece of possible evidence has them as being from County Tyrone. (However, the Death Certificate which provides this information, from a MOORHEAD nephew who had been born in Camus parish nearby, is indistinct on Elizabeth's surname, so there is a faint chance that instead of PARK, it might rather be PACK, or POAK, or BOAK, or DOAK --- so I keep an eye out for those as well; but feel fairly sure that PARK will probably be her maiden surname.) Please get in touch via e-mail if you'd like to pursue this further. Regards.

A quick search of the internet shows Crockanboy as a townland; then a search of http://www.cotyroneireland.com/townlands/townlands.html shows it in Badoney Lower; Strabane Upper.

Hi Dennis, I looked up McCONKEY in MacLysaght's book 'The Surnames of Ireland' and Bernie was right. The book says "MacCONAGHY MacCONKEY MacDhonnchaidh (son of Donagh). The name of a branch of the Scottish clan ROBERTSON numerous in east Ulster. Ballymaconaghy is near Newry." Rob Doragh Liverpool UK From: [email protected] Date: Mon, 2 Dec 2013 Subject: McConkey Hi Dennis, While I can't help with your family, I think it may well be useful to search for McConaghy (and variants of same) as I believe it's the same name as McConkey. I find it is always worth keeping spelling variations in mind, especially for the time frame you are researching. Bernie

Over the weekend I found a biography on my Great Uncle Andrew Wright who immigrated to the US in 1865. The biography list his father as James Wright and his mother as Bertha Ann McConkey. I have searched on both Ancestry.com and FamilySearch.org and found no listings for her. Does anyone know of a Bertha Ann Mc Conkey who would have been born late 1700's or early 1800's as my grandfather James was born in 1839. James' birthplace is listed as Ballynafreagh , County Tyrone and he was christened in Brigh, Presbyterian Church.

Hi, I am looking for information on my ancestors. My great grandmother, Rachel Anderson Aldridge was born in Cookstown, County of Tyrone, Ireland. Her mother's name was Mary McIlroy Anderson. Her father was John Anderson. John and Mary had 7 children. Rachel was the oldest. Rachel was born on July 7,1883. John Anderson was born about 10 April 1857 , to Thomas Anderson and Rachel Donaldson. Mary was born on 25 Dec. 1860 in Ballindrum, Londonderry, Ireland. To John McIlroy and Margaret Anderson. John and Mary's children are : 1.)Rachel Anderson 2.) Agnes Anderson (born 24 Feb 1885) 3.) Mary Anderson ( born 29 Nov 1887) 4.) Thomas Anderson ( born 29 Dec 1889, Died 25 Dec 1890) 5.) Ellen Anderson (known as Nellie) ( born. 28 Nov 1891. Died 20 Feb 1897) 6.) Lavinia Anderson ( born 28 Nov 1893.) 7.) Margaret Victoria Anderson ( born 10 July 1897) All the children were born in Ireland. The first 3 were born in Cookstown. The other 4 were born in Belfast. 2 of the children ( Thomas and Ellen ( Nellie), died in Belfast. John Anderson abandoned the family, as we were told. After he left, Mary and her 5 children left Ireland and came to Canada. Any info on this family would be greatly appreciated. Thank You Very Much; Karen Dawson Sent from my BlackBerry 10 smartphone.

Hi Boyd Yep that is the one, it has been suggested I take this information to my local LDS and see if they have it on microfiche I have quite a few of the family and his wife's death cert so even if what is there just mentions a name or occupation It would give me some hope I have found the townland His My Benjamin's wife as a widow appears in the Griffiths Valuation with land in both Reagahy and Glendavagh her daughter married my grandfather from Glendavagh so They must have met over the fence Thanks for your help Patricia -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Saturday, 30 November 2013 4:12 p.m. To: 'Pat Moosman'; [email protected] Subject: RE: [CoTyIre] Sheppard Hi Pat, This is what you found on the LDS website: Name: Sheppard Event Type: Probate Event Date: 1853 Event Place: Tyrone, Ireland Document Number: 051 Volume Number: 032 Volume Date Range: Nov-Dec 1854 Property Name: Parish: Electoral Division: Barony: County: Tyrone Alternate Event Place: Tamnylennan This is from an INDEX to wills; it is NOT the will itself.

Have a look at this: http://www.nationalarchives.ie/genealogy1/genealogy-records/wills-testamenta ry-records/ It certainly won't be at PRONI which is why you cannot find it. Tamnylennan is here: http://www.cotyroneireland.com/townlands/images/DonaghenryDrumglassTullynisk an.pdf This Sheppard person may have been the last Sheppard in Tamnylennan are there are no Sheppards in the 1859 Griffiths Valuation in Tamnylennan. In fact, there are none in the entire Parish of Donaghenry. Sadly, the TAB for Donaghenry is not online in any of the obvious places.
