I have been told by another Hoy/Hoey researcher that >> Sligo is a likely location. Hello. The townland is actually 'COOLDRUMMAN' which has both an UPPER and LOWER. According to the Griffiths Valuation Index only twp HOEY are listed: HOEY, Charles County: Sligo Parish: Drumcliff Location: Cooldrumman. Lower HOEY, John County: Sligo Parish: Drumcliff Location: Cooldrumman. Lower The BVI civil registrations shows a number of HOY between 1836-1881 but none in the parish of Drumcliff. Of course it only means that all births/baptisms are recorded in the mothers parish, none of the mothers maiden names listed in the BVI are shown in Cooldrumman. Mike.
