General Notes

John Connor
had a son Patrick Connor, born and raised in Co. Down, in the Down & Connor Diocese.
Patrick was a gardener, (florist) in a village called Fane Valley.
Patrick married Elizabeth Hoey in 1830, daughter of Michael Hoey, a farmer.
The Hoeys lived 1/2 mile south of Fane Valley in a village called Cullenstown.
In 1847, they moved from Cullenstown to Dromiskin.
Patrick worked for a  Protestant named Booth as a gardener/ houseman. until about 1893.
John Johnson was Patrick Connors nearest neighbor.
The Connor House in Dromiskin was built of stone, had one bedroom and one large kitchen,
possibly, six times larger that the bedroom. The bedroom had a loft over it.  The bedroom had a
brick floor, but the kitchen had a dirt floor.

PRELIMINARY REPORT
11th April 2006

CONNOR/HOEY

The CONNOR and HOEY family were baptised in RC parish known as DROMISKEEN but this parish is actually named DARVER Pos. 5596 in the NLI.
I found some things but there is a bit of confusion :

PATRICK CONNOR did marry ELIZABETH HOEY 15th Oct. 1839 witnessed by RICHARD McCARTNEY and MARY CARROLL.
I found 5 children plus another two children wrongly listed under JOHN CONNOR instead of  PATRICK CONNOR :

1.
MARY ANN CONNOR bapt. 4th August 1841
sp: Mathew Cavanagh and MARY CONNORS
of CULLENSTOWN.
2.
LAWRENCE CONNOR baptised 7th March 1847
but listed as son of JOHN CONNOR and BETTY HOEY
sp: PATRICK HOEY and ANNE CONNOR
of CULLENSTOWN
3.
JOHN CONNOR baptised 9th April 1848
but listed as son of  JOHN CONNOR and BETTY HOEY
sp: John McGahan and MARY HOEY
4.
PATRICK CONNOR baptised 11th Nov. 1850
sp: Michael McCartney and MARGARET HOEY
5.
MICHAEL CONNOR baptised 15th Feb. 1857
sp: Frances McGuire and Bridget Reilly
6.
ELIZABETH CONNOR bapt. 13th March 1859
sp: Andrew McGinnis and Anne Lamb
7.
JAMES CONNOR bapt. 1st Sept. 1861
sp: Patrick Hughes and Judith Corrigan.

This register has a transcript and the original is very faded in parts.I could not find any ELIZABETH HOEY as a daughter of a MICHAEL but did find MARY HOEY bapt. 26th August 1814 the daughter of MICHAEL HOEY and MARY BELTON sp: PATRICK HOEY and Bridget Kinnehan. I presume this is the sister of ELIZABETH HOEY as you state that your ELIZABETH HOEY is a daughter of a MICHAEL HOEY. I did find an ELIZABETH HOEY bapt. in Dec. 1810 (day missing) dau. of THOMAS HOEY and BRIDGET RICE of BABISWOOD alias BABSWOOD. Sp: Patrick Hillard and Catherine McGuire.

I made copies of TITHE APPLOTMENTS for posting : PARISH OF DROMISKEEN dated 1833. Obviously in 1833 Elizabeth HOEY and PATRICK CONNOR were not married and unlikely to be referred to in 1833 :
The PATRICK CONNOR named below is not the one who married ELIZABETH HOEY.

TOWNLAND OF DROMISKEEN ;

PATRICK HOEY 1 rod
WILLIAM HOEY 1 ace 3 rod 32 perch
MICHAEL CONNOR 7 acres 2 rod 10 perch

TOWNLAND of LURGAN and MOORETOWN :

PATRICK CONNOR   11 acres 20 perch.
PATRICK HOEY 1 acre.

TOWNLAND of LINNS ;

JOHN HOEY  9 acres
PAYRICK HOEY  9 acres 14 perch.

TOWNLAND of WALTERSTOWN ;

No CONNORs or HOEY in BABSWOOD and no reference to any townland called CULLENSTOWN (at least not in the TITHES for DROMISKEEN).
