Hughes

Unfortunately Derrynoose RC records don?t start till 1835. Tracing this family will therefore be rather tricky, if that is where they originated.

Thank you....Do you think Derrynoose will have cemetery/ death records?

There are no statutory death records in Ireland before 1864. In general, RC churches didn?t keep burial records. However Derrynoose does have death records from 1846 to 1851 only. There are copies of those records in PRONI (the public record office) in Belfast. The records are also on-line on the Rootsireland site (subscription).  http://www.rootsireland.ie

It?s also worth bearing in mind that people weren?t always buried in the graveyards attached to the church they attended. Where they had family plots, or had moved, they were sometimes buried elsewhere. However gravestones might be your next best option: This site has 38 Hughes gravestones in Derrynoose:

I have tried ancestry.com or familysearch.org?  I have found some info on ancestry.com - Ireland.  Do you have any date of births etc. 

Thank you for all this valuable information most which is new to me.. I will be checking out the sources.... I did think the relatives would be buried by a church and hadnt thought of family plots.... Thank you...

No I dont have any definite dates and I dont belong to Ancestry right now. I have been researching on Family Search.....My great great grandmother Phoebe Hughes was probably born about 1815 -1830...Thank you.......

Hi.. pivy 52 is me pivy!!! Thank you for thinking of me...There might be a death record for Catherine O Neil Hughes and or Terence Hughes abt 1830 in Derrynoose....I am really not sure where they lived though I read a lot of people from their area - Dover NH - were from Keady...

Hi there, through dna I've narrowed down my Hughes line. I'm connected to Owen Hughes of derrynoose. His daughter Margaret married Moore (John?). Possibly his parents were John and Judith Woods. Now message from 2015 mentions Henry and Jane. Could this be Jane Kearney. Henry was born 1773 and other dna matches have him and Jane as my direct ancestors. My ancestor was Arthur, born c1803 married to Mary Ann Tierney. He had brother John I'm sure.
Please get in touch if anyone is also descended from this family.
Hopefully poster from 2015 hasn't given up the search. It's taken me 13 years to get to derrynoose!!!

Angusbag here. Believe now that Owen dad of  Margaret was son of Felix
