My husband's (Alec PORTER's) grandparents were James PORTER and Elizabeth Jane HOY (b.09 Jan 1877, Armagh) of Portadown.Alec's father was Harold Graham PORTER and I believe his mother Elizabeth Jane HOY was the daughter of Thomas HOY and Elizabeth Graham). A Thomas HOY and Eliza HOY signed the Ulster Covenant/Declaration in 1912, as did a Julia HOY living in the same townland. I think Julia was probably Julia Anne (b.03 May 1869), daughter of Thomas HOY and Mary HARE).Thomas HOY and Mary HARE had two other daughters - Dorothea Jane (b.10 May 1865) and Precilla (sic) (23 Jan 1867) according to IGI indexes. I suspect that Thomas HOY, husband of Elizabeth Graham was the son of Thomas HOY and Mary HARE, but he does not appear in the indexes (Neither does James PORTER, but I know he existed lol)). Does anyone have any information that would help me confirm or dispel this hunch.
If anyone can help please can they give me pointers about their sources so I can get any other relevant info about marriage dates, places, other offspring etc, Thanks.
