Thanks for visiting our pages! Got a Loughrey-related question? Comments about our site? We'd love to hear from you...and find out more about you. Just add a message or profile! (Please note: All posts to this guestbook are moderated, to prevent spammers from posting here. If your post doesn't appear immediately, please be patient - I'll try to get to it soon!)

It would appear the Loughrey webpage is defunct, at least in terms of posting updates and especially with regard to responding to queries. I'm from DePue, IL, near Sheffield, and I'm trying to trace my Loughrey line through my g.g. grandmother Lucinah (Mills) Peterson, whose husband lars emmigrated from Denmark in 1857. Anybody out there listening?

Your "Big Tree" must be a wonderful resource. I understand that much work went into this big tree, but I think that the 18th and nineteenth century portion of this big tree should be made freely available, because there should be no privacy concern for people born or married during the 18th and 19th century.
I strongly encourage you to make this part of the big tree available, in the interest of all the other Loughreys who are to some extent descendants of some ancestor of your 18th century ancestor

Here is a genealogy of a canadian Loughrey extended family. From ANDREW Loughry, my great great great grandfather, to the 52 known grandchildren (there must be more) of my great great grandfather PATRICK Loughry (1800-1886), who were born between 1843 and 1877. The 15 children of Patrick Loughry were born between 1826 and 1869.

Any help in making this genealogy more complete would be appreciated.

1) X and Y had three sons: ANDREW Loughry, John Loughry, and Daniel Loughrea.

a) ANDREW married Belle McCordick. Her father was James McCordick (1765-1859), buried in Fairmount Cemetery, Saratoga, NY. Her brother is John McCordick.

b) John Loughry married Rosa Shanaghan. On Aug. 17 1833, a John Loughry receives land in Sorel. They had a daughter Bridget, who married Patrick Loonan on Sept. 12 1832 in Saint-François, Beauce (Saint-François was later renamed Beauceville).

c) Daniel Loughrea married Ann Read. He obtained a concession in township of Golburn Persh Military Settlement, Ontario. He was a private, 99th regiment.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

2) ANDREW Loughry and Belle McCordick had 7 sons: PATRICK (1800-1886), James, Thomas, Robert, William, Clark and Thurlow.

a) James Laughrey married Elizabeth Anderson. They had three children:
1. James (1835-) was living in Leeds, Quebec, in 1881.
2. Elizabeth Laughrey (~1839-) married Owen Murphy on Oct. 7 1857 in Saint-Patrick's parish, Quebec City. Owen Murphy was mayor of Quebec City from 1874 to 1878 and member of parliament from 1886 to 1892. He was a also a director of the Quebec Central Railway.
3. Thomas Loughrey (1845-) was living in Leeds, Quebec, in 1881.

b) Thomas Loughrey was living in York, Upper Canada in 1832. He was private, 18th regiment.

c) Robert Loughrey arrived from Glasgow on the Saint-George, together with his two sons: Thomas (1842-) and James (1844-).

d) William Loughrey (1812-) married Mary McCaffrey on April 23 1838 in Saint-Sylvestre Quebec. He had arrived in Saint-John, N.B. on April 18 1833, on board the 15th ship (Madawaska), which had departed from Londonderry, Northern Ireland. In 1866 he was in London Ontario. He was colonel sergeant, 7th regiment in 1866.

e) Clark Loughry was corporal infantry company garrison duty in St-John Quebec (probably Saint-Jean sur le Richelieu), under captain James Chalmers.

f) Thurlow Laughry married Mary Walsh in Victoria, B.C. They had a son named John. John married Blanche Veilleux on Oct. 18 1919 in Saint-François, Quebec. My grandfather John (1860-1946) was saying "Veilleux are family".

g) PATRICK Loughry (1800-27 jan. 1886) had two wives: Mary Patton (~1805- Jan. 1 1854), buried in Saint-Elzéar, and Mary McGown (1820/1830-july 26 1904), whom he married in 1858. Mary McGown is buried in Saint-Matthew catholic cemetery on Dalton Road/route 142 near Whitefield, New Hampshire . Whitefield is 10 miles from Bethlehem, where her stepson Owen (1831-) lived in 1900. Since Mary McGown had her first child in 1852, and since she had 5 children between 1861 and 1869, I would bet that she was born in 1830 rather than 1820.
PATRICK Loughry is buried in Saint-Séverin. He is thought to come from Omagh, Northern Ireland, according to my grandmother Lydia Cyr. As indicated in a previous article, the largest concentration of the Loughrey name in the world is found in Ulster; and in Ultser, their greatest concentration seems to be in Tyrone, where one finds Loughry College and Loughry house, where Jonathan Swift wrote "Gulliver's travels". Omagh is a central city of Tyrone.

4) BERNARD Laughrea (1834-1914) and Cecilia Sullivan (1841-1901) had 9 children:

a) JOHN Laughrea (1860-1946). He is my grandfather. He was married to Lydia Cyr in Broughton in 1906. He was president of the Leeds-East school board from 1910 to 1915. He had 3 children: Gérard (1914-1979), Lucille (1917-2009), and my father PATRICK (1920-1991).

b) Patrick (1862-1954). He was city councillor. Bachelor; no children. BERNARD, Patrick and JOHN had adjacent farms on the hill between the East Palmer and the Palmer river. BERNARD settled there around 1875. JOHN sold his farm in 1929. For all of their declining years, the 3 bachelor brothers Pete, Pat and Tom lived together in the house builts by BERNARD, and extended by JOHN in 1890. I presume that Pete and Tom lived all their lifes there, starting in 1875. Without the extension, the house had a basement for food, 5 rooms on the first floor and 4 rooms on the second floor.

c) Mary (1864-1948). She married a Kellow had at least one child.

d) Michael (1866-1945). He married Elizabeht Castillo. He had 7 children (6 daughters and one son) and died in Lancaster (N.Y. or N.H.?). There is a Lancaster in N.H. which is the first town North of Whitefield-Bethlehem, where James Loughrey and Owen Loughrea lived. A Michael Laughrey lived there in a 1920 census. My father Patrick (1920-1991) wrote about "uncle Mike and Beatrice" in 1943. My uncle Gerard Laughrea (1914-1979) wrote on May 30 1945: "Beatrice et ses 2 filles ont été à Lancaster aujourd'hui pour mettre l'épitaphe de mon oncle Mike". Beatrice may be a daughter of Michael.

e) Thomas (1868-1966). Bachelor; no children.

f) Cecilia (1870-1963). She married James Custeau on Sept. 8 1894 in Saint-Pierre de Broughton, and had 7 children. I have the list of her children.

g) James Laughrea (1873-1955). He married Josephine Sands and had 4 children. He has many desdendants in the USA. His great great granddaughter Ann-Marie moved back to Quebec. I have the list of all the descendants of James. All "Laughreas" in the world appear to be descendants of James (1873-1955) and John (1860-1946). The others spell the name differently.

h) Peter (1875-1964). Bachelor; no children

i) Ellen (1877-). She married Bartholemey McCaffrey on Sept. 30 1900.

My name is JENNIFER LOWERY. I live in Northern Illinois. I have long searched for genealogy links to my Lowery family, and can not find any leads. I assume the Lowery family (somewhere along the line) had changed their name, or possibly used another spelling. Now, searching through sites with other surnames (such as Loughery, Loughre, Laughrea, etc.) I am finding many Pennsylvania addresses. The little that I DO know about my Lowery family is as follows: My Paternal Great-Grandfather, George Edward Lowery had a son: My Grandfather, Eugene Lowery who was born in Philadelphia, PA. on or around 7 Sep 1919. He married my Grandmother, Margaret (Marge) Cathleen Zimmerman (adopted by a French woman and originally known as Mary Mutzabaug) who was born 17 Mar 1922. Marge died 14 May 1989 in El Cajon, CA. Eugene died Circa 1980 in Aurora, IL. Eugene and Marge had (6) six children: 1) Eugene Lowery b. Sept 1948 currently living in CA.; 2) Peggy Jean Lowery b. unknown (possibly 1949-1953?), but died around age 15-18 around the E. St. Louis, IL. area due to suffocation; 3) Robert Patrick Lowery b. 2 Mar, 19??, died in CA.; 4) Michael Joseph Lowery b. 30 Jun 1955 in E. St. Louis, IL. currently living in Eastport, Newfoundland, Canada; 5) Brian P. Lowery b. unknown, currently living in CA. 6) George Allen Lowery b. 25 Jul 1965, currently living in CA. ---My father is Michael Lowery (b. 30 Jun 1955). His father, Eugene, was rumored to be into boxing in Philadelphia. No one in the family knows more than this information about my Grandfather, Eugene, from Philadelphia or my Grandmother, Margaret, who was adopted. If anyone has any information or tips for finding genealogical links to my family tree, please e-mail me at: [email protected] ---ANY information will be greatly appreciated! Good luck to you in your search for your roots.

Just for the records--my grandfdather was John Lockrey, my father was Roy Lockrey. Home area--London, ON. I had 2 sisters, and I have 2 beautiful daughters. Therefore, my surname LOCKREY comes to an end!!!! at least for my immediate family. PS-I am nearly 80.

My Great,Great Grandfather, Bernard Loughrey of Cookstown, County Tyrone, came to Melbourne Australia on the ship "CHINA" on 1st May 1840. His wife to be, Hester Charles, daughter of James Charles, also of Cookstown Tyrone, arrived in Melbourne on the "Marquis of Bute" on 30th November 1841. These were the first Loughreys in Australia and I suspect it is possible they were related to the Loughreys that settled in the US.

Wishing you all the very best,

I retired in November 2010 and just got a computer of my own. I have been having fun looking up information on the Loughrey side of my family. Peter Loughrey was my 2 great grandfather and Margaret Carroll was his wife. I did some searching on the Carroll line and found links to a Wakefield family from Aughrim, Galway, Ireland. Searching on Aughrim, I discovered a town nearby called "Loughrea". I wonder if that is how the family name came into being. By the way, I always thought "Loughrey" meant "king's lake", but it refers to a "grey (riach) lake". Peter and Margaret's son, John married Caroline M. Walker whose parents were Daniel Walker and Betsey Lee Siles. I'm kind of stuck finding anything definitive about them. Can anyone help? My email address is [email protected]. Thanks!

My Mother was Mary Loughrey, the youngest of 11 (I believe). She had a brother Robert and another named Frank. The family left the Lake Ray section of Ireland in the mid 1800s (probably around 1850). I have no other info other than the family settled in N. Eastern PA (the Wilkes-Barre Area). I would like to speak with anyone having knowledge of the family. Thank you

I am a Loughery from Balteagh parish, Co Derry - one of the ones who didn't get away! There are still many Lougherys in this area. Many of the surnames in the family seem to have continued through the generations too. There is a John Loughery as well as an Archie, and other first names seem to recur through the generations too. Quite amazing how even the first names have continued through time. Nice to know there are lots of us all over the world.

Researching Cornelius Loughrey and Rose his wife (McGonigle)born about 1833 in Donegal (Inishowen?). They had a son James about 1862, a daughter Mary about 1863 and another son Patrick about 1865. They moved to Greenock, SCOTLAND ABOUT 1866 where all but Mary died of disease - family recorded under Lochrie there.Mary is listed with Poor removed from Scotland to Ireland Jan 1867 -Dec 1869 as Mary Lochrey, child under 16, sailed from Greenock and landed at Innishaven (thought to be Inishowen, Donegal). Family legend has it she was returned to family in Donegal and she sometimes in later life gave her surname as Docherty, also said to be links to Inishtrahul. Nothing known of her then until R.C marriage in 1883 in Anderston, Glasgow TO Hamilton Smith from Londonderry (son of Hamilton S & Isabella Burke). David Smith

Wow, this is truly interesting. I had no idea there were so many Loughreys out there. I just got married and took the name Simone. My granpa on my dad's side is Leo Loughrey from Bellfast Ireland. I think there is an Irene Loughrey somewhere in Scotland. Pretty neat.

Hey everyone. I just ran across this website while I was searching for information on the Loughry family. I see a lot of grea things here but it seems to be missing where my immediate came from. My fathers name is Clifford Dewain Loughry and his father was Vincent Loughry who died a few years back. We were born and raised in KY and I believe my father's dad was from the Virginia area and lived the last years of his life in Maryland. Just looking for any information on our great family, especially our crest and coat of arms. If anyone has any information feel free to email me at anytime. [email protected]

Have just started tracing my husband's tree and have discovered a Barnabus Lockery b. 1800 Ireland and living in Ontario Canada. I noticed a couple of other references to a Barnabus on this site and wonder if there is a connection. I have Barnabus married to a Mary. Catherine Lockery b. 1849, one of their 15 children, married George Creasey. They lived in southwestern Ontario (St. Marys, Oxford Cty, Lambton Cty areas. Hopefully we can make a connection.

I am hoping someone may be able to help me find where my gggg grandfather came from. Does anyone have any connection with Henry Loughery b c1770 Ireland who married Margaret Fowler?
They may have had Londonderry connections as their daughter Jane (who married a James Mann) had 6 children born between 1828 and 1849, two of whom declared Co. Derry to have been their birthplace in later Scottish censuses. Drumachose CofI church has a baptism, George son of James and Jane, which if it is the same family would suggest a link with that area.

Kind regards, Michael.

Hi everyone!!

My name is Angela Lochrie and i have trying to trace my family tree. I know that both our surnames come from the same clan in ireland. I am from scotland i can say i have been here my whole life but while looking for other answers to my questions about where my family came from i found this site. I know that both our surnames come from the original caln name of O'malmocheirgh which means The descentant of the early rising one.

I just wanted to leave a message to say that i think it is great what you have done here and i hope to find out more about my family on my search.

Love from Scotland

Tombstone project for Patrick Loughry (1801-1886), buried in St-Séverin, Québec, and my great-great grand father born in Ireland. The tombstone would be large enough to write:

"Patrick Loughry (1801-1886), père de:
James Loughery (1826-1889)
Bridget Loughrey-Boyce (1829-1883)
Mary Laughery-Harny (1830-1875)
Owen Loughrea (1831- )
Catherine Laughry-McGee (1833- )
Bernard Laughrea (1834-1914)
Ann Laughrey-Gould (1844/39- )
Peter Loughery (1861- )
Helen Laughry-Monaghan (1863- )
Et 6 autres enfants"

Any help in finding out the years of death of Owen, Catherine, Ann, Peter, Helen, or any of the other 6 children, would be greatly appreciated.

I have a niece by marriage who is doing genealogy and she has come up with some interesting information about the John Loughrey/Caroline Walker Loughrey line. Caroline's parents were Daniel David Walker and Betsey Lee Stiles and were born circa 1795 and 1798. Daniel was born in either North or South Carolina and Betsey was born in Virginia. I've tried to get further information about Betsey, but I'm too cheap to pay for it. Is there anyone out there who is familiar with Daniel and Betsey Walker? Their daughter Caroline was my great grandmother and was born in 1836 in Wisconsin. She died in 1923.

My great great grandmother was Harriet Loughery Dawson born 1832. I have traced the line (with the help of another Dawson family member) back. Her father was Hiram Loughery his father Patrick Loughery his father John Loughery and his father Jeremiah Loughery born 1700 in Ireland. I was wondering if anyone could contact me with any information on any of those men or can go past Jeremiah. Thanks for the info in advance. :)

Hello my name is Abbe G. Loughrey and I am the daughter of June A. Loughrey(Hayes). She has written on here and I was not aware that there was this site. I googled my name and coulnd't believe that there was actually something that came up for me. My aunt Gale Loughrey has also written on here and I see that she had some responses to what she wrote about the spina bifida. I would like that person to know that my aunt passed away in March this year. She passed away at home with her family where she knew she would be at peace. She was one of the longest living spina bifida patients to date. My mother has MS which is a neurological disorder and is doing very well. My Aunt Patsy had breast cancer in both breast and is heathly today. With in just my family I know that Loughrey's are very strong and hope that this carrys on with yours.

Lincoln, England - Wednesday, January 30, 2008 at 19:08:02 (EST)

I would like to ask about "Lowery" (I have looked at so many spellings) I have been looking at that name for about a month now, as I have a 2-great grandfather, (last name Ungry) who I am looking for his mother's name, who was a Lowery, again unsure of the spelling... so I just use "Lowery."

Here is the basics of my story, Ellra Ungry, my 2 great grandfather was born in 1861 in Three Rivers, St. Joseph County, Michigan. When he was just a year old, his father Daniel Ungry was killed in the war. Which made him an only child. Ellra's mother, and her parents, (The Lowery's) left home and traveled through Missouri, and into Kansas. Some where along the way, Ellra's mother died. It seems like I might never find out who they were as there is no help on his birth record, and with out any first names for his grandparents to follow, and no census records show him on them.

I really found him when he is older and married, in Coffey County Kansas, 1900 census, and he moved around a lot after that.

My main intrest now is to find out who was his mother and grandparents, and to find out more about his childhood. So I have been just looking at a lot of Lowery info, till I find him.

I can only assume that his grand parents died in Kansas somewhere, but I also assume that they didn't go there on a whim, I think they must have had family there.

I hope some one here knows what I need, this seems to be a well used site. I hope I am a Loughrey.

I wanted to update my previous post. My mother recently passed away without finding any information about her biological relatives. In going through her paperwork we discovered Mom's original birth certificate, which reads: Father, Charles Laughrey - Mother, Dorothy Disbro; my mother's birth name was: Thelma Jean Laughrey (but was changed to Ruth Ellen Huslberg when she was adopted.) We found references to Charles Laughrey in other documents and his name is spelled 3 different ways: Lauthrey, Laughry, and Lauthrie. There is also mention of a Bulah Lauthrie. We believe that originally both the Lauthrey and Disbro families lived in southern Michigan, in the Bronson/Coldwater area. Any information would be helpful as we try to piece together this puzzle. Thanks!

My mother believes that Charles lived in Michigan perhaps Bronson, Coldwater, Sturgis area) at the time. She never had any contact with him but often wonders if he'd still be alive and if she have any half-brothers and sisters. If anyone has any clues She'd be delighted! Thank-you. :-)

My great-great grandmother was Mary Elizabeth Loughrey, born 14 Jun 1849 in Licking County, Ohio, daughter of William Loughrey and Mary (?), both born around 1825 in Ohio. I think Mary could be the daugher of Edward Loughrey b. 20 Nov 1791 in Pennsylvania, and Elizabeth Green, also born 1791 in Pennsylvania. Possible siblings would be David, Hiram, Barbara and Francis. Any help would be appreciated.

Dr Michael Laughrea,

Patrick Laughrea is my third great-grandfather. Mary Patton is the wife of my third great-grandfather.

I have significant information, with which you are seeking, concerning Bridget Laughrea (Laughry, Loughry, Loghry, Laughrey, etc).

Bridget was married to my second-great-grandfather, (John) Owen Boyce and they are both buried in the St Elzear Cemetery, Beauce County, Province of Quebec, Canada.

I have invested a large amount of personal money and time, during 2006, researching my respective Boyce family, all the while visiting the St Sylvestre, St Severin, St Elzear, St Marie, St Patrice, the Broughtons, St George, Quebec City, and several towns in the Chicoutimi region of Quebec.

I have flown to the west coast of both America and Canada, and driven to 29 states in the lower 48. I have made it a point to visit with as many *living* family members, as possible.

My research is ongoing with public libraries, town and city offices, countless cemeteries, historical museums and societies, businesses and state treasury offices (for old payroll records), state archives, and various parishes of several denominations (though admittedly, mainly Catholic parishes).

If you would like the names and connections of my family tree, my email address is:

[email protected]

I will direct you and invite you to my web site (the Boyce Family Tree) which includes an additional 4-5,000 Boyce family members. Not all will be directly related, but you will be pleased with the result and my penchant for primary source material (for proper verification purposes).

Wow. This is an excellent resource to locate a line of family members I have, yet, to research.

Are you really ready for this onslaught of long-lost family members?

I know that *I* am ready and anxious to meet with you, all.

Your Cousin,
Tom Boyce (wife, Linda)

The information I have states that Jeremiah came was born somewhere around 1700 in North Ireland and was married to a Mary Murphy (Murphee?). My family ended up in Tucker Co and Preston Co WV. I would love to hear from any relatives and anyone having more information about where exactly Jeremiah came from! My husband and I just went to Ireland this past September and absolutely loved it! (I made him stop in the pouring rain to have my picture taken beside the sign for the town of Loughrea) Much love to all!

As I get older, I find the need/desire to look more into my past. My aunts and grandparents started an intense geneology gathering mission in the past years, but it wasn't until I just lost my grandmother and my grandfather getting poorer health that I feel I should have searched earlier. I know for sure that I come from a line that includes Archie Wallace Loughrey (1885)that married Jennie Mae Bowser, and had kids: Gertrude Grace, Henry Wyant, Ethel Mae, Charles Frank, Archie Wallace Jr.,and Jennie Mae....This is as far back as I have, however, my question is if anyone knows if this lineage is related in some way to this line of Loughrey's in this wonderful web site....

I am trying to take my Loughery family history back past my Philadelphia born grandfather (moved to Boston) James Joseph Loughery. He married Jessie Ramsey, also of Philadelphia. Her father, Bill Ramsey was a soldier in the Civil War. I know James Joseph Loughery's family came from Ireland and I would like to know more. James and Jessie had four children, Dorothy, Agnes, James Jr. (my father) and Anna, all in the Boston area. I see many variations on the spelling, but my own father insisted on the e r y ending. Once, while vvisiting Ireland, an old gentleman told me that all Lougherys with that spelling came originally from Scotland. Might or might not be true. Any connections out there?

I would also like to hear from the descendants of the sisters of James Loughery (b. 1821 or 1826; d.1889--see the entry following this one in space). They are Bridget (about 1824), Mary (about 1830-1833), Catharine (about 1833), Ann (1844), Margaret (1859), Helen (Elinor) (1863) and Eliza (Liza) (1869). Margaret, Helen and Eliza are half-sisters. Bridget married John (or Owen) Boyce on April 26 1842 in St-Sylvestre, Québec. Mary married Lewis Levis Cowan on May 20 1851 in St-Elzéar, Québec. Catharine married Thomas McGee on Nov. 6 1855 in St-Elzéar, Québec. Ann married James Gould on July 26 1870 in St-Sylvestre, Québec. Helen (Elinor) married James Monaghan on Coct. 25 1887 in St-Séverin, Québec. As far as we know, these sisters wrote their maiden name as either Laughry, Loughry, Laughrey, or Laughery, i.e. differently from their brothers Owen (Loughrea), Bernard (Laughrea) and James (Loughery on the tombstone).

Regarding the 9 children of Bernard Laughrea, we would like to hear from the descendants of Mary (1864) and Michael (1866). Mary maried a Kellow. Michael married Elizabeth Castillo and had 7 children. We don't really know if they spelled their names Laughrea or not. We have a reasonbly good idea of the whereabouts of the descendants of the other children of Bernard.

As far as we know all Laughreas in the world are descendants of Bernard Laughrea, via my grand-father John, forefather of most Canadian Laughreas and my grand-uncle James, forefather of most American Laughreas.

In summary, Patrick Loughry (1801-1886) had 9 boys and 6 girls. His son James (1821 or 1826-1889) had 4 boys and 4 girls; his daughter Mary had 2 boys and 1 girl; his son Owen had 5 boys and 1 girl; his daughter Catherine had 10 children; his son Bernard (1834-1914) had 6 boys and 3 girls. Unfortunately, we don't know how many children were produced by the 11 other sons and daughters of Patrick (1801-1886). He had 36 grand-children from 4 of his 15 children. It is therefore plausible that our ancestor Patrick (1801-1886) had about 100 grand-children by 1920, and a vast number of grand-grand-children!

I would like to hear from descendants of James Loughery (1821 or 1826) and Anne (Nancy)Gallagher. They were married in 1848 in St-Sylvestre Quebec. They had 4 sons: James (1852), Patrick (1855), Michael (1860) and John (1865); and they had 4 daughters: Mary (1850), Anne (1857), Susan (1862), and Bridget (1868). James Loughery is buried in St-Matthews Catholic Cemetery, Dalton Road/route 142, just outside of Whitefield, N.H. He was buried on Dec 9 1889 at age 68, or 63. His daughter Bridget, married to Thomas Mulhebin, is buried next to him. She died Dec 6 1990.
James (1821 or 1826) Loughery is the son of Patrick Loughry (1801) and Mary Patton, who arrived in Québec before 1833 (probably around 1832). He is the brother of Bernard Laughrea, my great-grand father, and the brother of Owen Loughrea, the great-grand father of Michael 0. Loughrea, Vietnam war hero, of Topeka, Kansas.

Owen Loughrea married Margaret Mullavey. They had 3 sons: Patrick (1858), Edward (1860) and John (1860). Owen later remarried with an Ann in 1871 and had Daniel (1872).

We would also like to hear from descendants of the other brothers of Bernard, namely: Patrick (1846), Peter (1861), Joseph (1864) and Frank (1869). Note that Peter, Joseph and Frank are the outcome of the second marriage of Patrick (1801) with Mary McGown Mahoney, which happened in 1858, the same year his son Bernard got married!

To come back to James Loughery buried in Whitefield, his son Michael (1860) married Lizzie Longway on Sept. 21 1890 in Bartlett N.H., near Whitefield.

There is a Peter Loughery buried in July 1941 in Whitefield. Maybe he is Peter (1861), the half-brother of James (1821 or 1826). Peter (1861) had a daughter Annie (1899) and maybe a son Frank.

This completes and corrects a previous posting made on June 16 2005.

My great, great grandmother was Mary E. Loughery born in Unionville, CT on January 27, 1859. She was the daughter of Patrick Loughery born in Co. Galway, Ireland in 1835 and Bridget McMahon born in Feakle, Co. Clare in 1836.
Daniel Loughery, a native of Co. Galway born about 1801, and his wife, Mary Collins, immigrated about 1855 with their family to Unionvile, with the following known children:
Patrick Loughery, born 1835.
Edward Loughery, born 1838.
Mary (Loughery) Manion, born 1840.
Bridget (Loughery) Slater/Clancy, born Aug 1845.
Julia (Loughery) Brodie, born Apr 1850
I am interested in making contact with descendents of this family to share information.
Both Patrick & Edward served in the Civil War on the Union side. Patrick rode with the 21st NY Cavalry into the Shenandoah Valley campaign until being captured by the Confederates on December 6, 1864. After being paroled in a prisoner exchange on Feb 17, 1865, Patrick fell from a train and had his right arm crushed by the cars. This arm was amputated 2 inches beneath the shoulder. On his way home from the St. Patrick's celebrations at a saloon in Unionville on March 18, 1868, he fell into the Unionville Canal and was drowned. On March 1, 1870, his widow married Michael Heafy.

I am a great great grandson of Joseph B. Loghry. I am searching for info on Kitty Loghry daughter of Joseph B. I think I found her in South Dakota 1900 census. She is married to a S.G. Chase ( Sherman Grant Chase), living at Swan Lake, Turner County, S. Dak. according to the census they have been married 6 yrs and Kitty has no children. The 2 children shown Mable age 11 and Ira age 9 must be Shermans from a previous marriage. Also the next farm listed has Nathan and Minnie (loghry) Verley living there. Minnie is Kitties sister. Then in 1908 I find S.G Chase marring a Etha Selleg in Parker, Turner County. 1910 census shows Sherman G. Chase married to Ethel E. living in Hurley, Turner Co. S. Dak. next farms on same shows Nathan and Minnie Verley again and also Mark H Loghry and wife Jennie ( who is Kitties brother) The daughter who is mentioned here Hazel L Chase must be Kitties daughter, age 9. Then in South Dakota Births I find a Mark Almon Chase b. June 30, 1902 in Turner County, S. Dak., father Sherman G. Chase, Mother Kitty Orvis ??? state file # 759235, date filed June 5, 1954. As we all know Orvis was Kittys mothers remarried name after Joseph B. Loghry died. Many family members have Kitty married to a Sherman William Chase from Michigan. also have found her listed in one tree as Kitty VanHouten married to Sherman Grant Chase. Does anyone out there know what her real name was? and what happen to her. I know this Sherman Grant Chase was married at least 5 times befor he died in the 1930's he was a busy man I also have a photo of Kitty with husband and 2 children. contact me at [email protected]

Yes my comment that I would like to make is that I am half black, half Irish and Portuguese. My grandmother was a Loughrey who abandoned her Portuguese children (Darlene Loughrey, Patricia Loughrey) when they were babies because her newly found husband at the time said that he didn't want anything to do with any colored babies. I was just trying to learn more about my history. I am 24 years old and I have never met the Irish side of my family. I just want the Loughrey family to know that your blood does run through black people's veins!

Came across you page looking for some info on one of my ancestors. A couple places on your site I see mention of a Col. Archibald Loughrey who was killed a Loughrey Creek in 1781. Thought I would offer a correction to this reference.

The Colonel's surname is actually Lochry, not Loughrey, as detailed in the Pennsylvania Archives and several other historical references. The creek named after him to commemorate the famous battle, is in fact a mis-spelling made at the time the creek was named in his memory, decades after the battle.

A sampling of history on the expedition can be found in:
Edgar J. Pershing, "Lost Battalion of the Revolutionary War, PA.," National Genealogical Society Quarterly, Vol XVI, No. 3, Dr. G. M. Brumbaugh, editor, (Washington D.C.: National Genealogical Society, Sept., 1928), 44-51. Describes Lochry's Expedition in detail. Includes a history of the expedition, transcripts of communiques between Colonel Archibald Lochry and General George Rogers Clark, and a list of killed and captured. Also details Mathias Fisher's role in the expedition and credits him with bringing the fate of the expedition back to Pennsylvania.

Chris McHenry, The Best Men of Westmoreland, An Historical Account of the Lochry Expedition, (Lawrenceburg, Indiana: publisher unkown, 1981). Includes a lengthy narrative of Westmoreland history leading to Lochry's Expedition. Also contains photographs of records known as the Haldimand Papers from the Canadian National Archives which list men captured from Lochry's Expedition and later imprisoned by the British at Prisoners Island, Coteau du Lac, Quebec, Canada. Also contains photographs of a list of Lochry's men from the diary Lt. Isaac Anderson. The original diary is held by the Cincinnati Historical Society.

"Lochry's Expedition," Pennsylvania Archives, Sixth Series, Vol. II, Thomas Lynch Montgomery, editor, (Harrisburg, Pennsylvania: Harrisburg Publishing Company, 1906), 403-410. A further transcript Lt. Anderson's diary.

Just thought you might be interested.

Regards,
Stephen Fisher

P.S. - My site - http://www.fishergenes.com - has transcripts and PDF files of the Pershing article and the Pennsylvania archives pages. The direct links to each are http://www.fishergenes.com/ showsource.php?sourceID=SR52&tree=FFG and http://www.fishergenes.com/ showsource.php?sourceID=S38&tree=FFG.

I am also in the process of preparing a map which traces the route of the expedition and the later adventures of some of the survivors as they made their way back to Pennsylvania. My site is still under construction. Just getting back into genealogy again after a five-ish year break.

Merry Christmas to all! I've stopped by this site over the years with the intention of writing a note and have not yet done so. I see that one of my "shirttail" relatives have already written a note here. My grandfather was Kenneth Loughrey, and my father is Brian David Loughrey. My aunts are Louise and Peri. My name is Brendan (And there is another Brendan Loughrey who is an outstanding Irish Singer out of Chicago, you should order a CD). I have one brother, and his name is Sean. While I did not continue with Irish names (my boys are Blake and Brett), my nieces are Erin and Shannon, and my nephew is Jack. Take care everyone! Brendan Loughrey

I would like to hear from descendants of James Loughrey (1826) and Anne (Nancy)Gallaghere. They were married in 1848 in St-Sylvestre Quebec. They had 4 sons: James (1852), Patrick (1855), Michael (1860) and John (1865). James (1826) is the son of Patrick Loughrey and Mary Patton. He is the brother of Bernard, my great-grand father.
WE would also like to hear from descendants of Owen Loughrey (Loughrea, Loughry) and Margaret Mullavey. They had 3 sons: Patrick (1858), Edward (1860) and John (1860). Owen later remarried with an Ann in 1871 and had Daniel (1872). Owen is another brother of Bernard.
We would also like to hear from descendants of the other brothers of Bernard, namely: Patrick (1846), Peter (1861), Joseph (1864) and Frank (1869). Note that Peter, Joseph and Frank are the outcome of the second marriage of Patrick (1801) with Mary McGown Mahoney, which happened in 1858, the same year his son Bernard got married!

My great grandmother was Bridget Loughrey born in Northern Ireland about 1858, her father was Bernard probably born about 1820. I have no information on her mother. Bridget was first married in Port Richmond, Pa to John McGlynn and my grandmother was born 1885. I have no idea of what happened to most of the other children of John McGlynn but I do know he died around 1891 and she remarried Hugh Corrigan again in Port Richmond. I am trying to determine if Bernard came to the US. I have found a Bernard in Conschocken, Montgomery County but unable to tell if this is Bridget's father.

I am still looking for the ancestors & descendants of John Loughery who was born about 1810 in Ireland, and died March 18, 1863, in (Manayunk) Phila, PA. and his wife Jane Boyle who was born about 1816 in Ireland, and died about 1875 in
(Manayunk) Phila. PA. After arriving in the US, sometime after 1835, believed to have come over by way of Londonderry to Philadelphia on the Ship Proincialist settling in Manayunk,PA. Their children are:

John D. Loughery, b. 1835 Dublin Ireland, d. June 21, 1894 Stockton, NJ (my Loughrey line)
Archibald Loughery, b.Feb.19,1839 Manayunk,PA.
d.July 21, 1864 Manayunk,PA.
Mary Jane Loughery, b. 1841 Manayunk, PA.,
d. March 13, 1863 Manayunk, PA.
Sarah Ann Loughery, b. 1843 Manayunk, PA.,
d. June 25, 1867 Manayunk, PA.
Catherine Loughery, b. 1845 Manayunk, PA.,
Margaret Loughery, b. 1846 Manayunk, PA.
d.March 16, 1864 Manayunk, PA.
Hugh Loughery, b. 1849 Manayunk, PA.
Isabella Loughery, b. April 22,1853 Manayunk, PA. d. April 2, 1930 Manayunk, PA
Ellen Loughery, b. 1856 Manayunk, PA
Emma Loughery, b. 1859 Manayunk, PA.

After her husbands death, Jane continued to live in Manayunk, on English's Row, until 1875 when she no longer appears in the Phila. city directories. A son Hugh, who from the 1870 Phila. census lived with his mother, does appear at this time in the directories.....until April 10, 1886 when, a Hugh Loughery was buried at St. John the Baptist Roman Catholic Church Cemetery in Manayunk, PA. I have unable to locate a obituary for Hugh, to verify that he is one of my Loughery's. I found a obituary for a Jane Loughery dated 1873, however I have yet to verify that she is the same Jane Loughery I am looking for as she is not buried at St. John's.

Through birth & marriage records, I've been able to trace the spelling of my Loughery line name to Loughrey, that began with John D. Loughery's son, Joseph J. Loughrey.

If you can make a match with any of this, I'd love to hear from you.

Thanks for listening, Karen in NW Florida

I have no names for her parents, or an exact date of birth or last name spelling..... Have tried all of 1900 census for Ga. to find her, and have come up with zero.... Does anyone on here have Lowery / Lowry families in Floyd Co. Ga. in 1900? For all I know her name may have been actually Loughrey. I am at my wits end trying to find her. Thanks

Hello all Loghrys!! I am doing family research on my grandmother's side of the family. Wilma Lucille Loghry was born 8/5/1912 at Taylor, Nebraska. She was married to Edward Edgar Howard and had 5 children. Her father was Mark Heber Loghry and he was born 7/26/1872 near Fort Dodge, Iowa. His siblings were John, Walter, Thomas, Jennie, and Minnie. Mark was married to Jessie Mae Roe. At some point, they moved to Nebraska and then on to Wyoming along with 2 of his brothers. Mark's father was Joseph Loghry and he was born 5/10/1847 at New York.
My grandmother would never talk about her past. A year ago, while visiting family grave sites, we came along a few Loghry tombstones and dont know how they are related.
Tommie Ray Loghry
died Feb. 27, 1984? 1884? 1814? hard to read the exact date
J.B. Loghry
born 1818
died 1888

Charlie W. Loghry
died Mar 14 1893 @ the age of 8 years and 3 months

Corporal Joe Loghry

these are found at the Kent Cemetary near Burwell, Nebraska

Wilma Lucille Loghry had a brother Delbert that was killed in WW II in 1944.

If anyone is able to help our family learn more, please contact me.

Thanks!!!

What a surprise. On a lark I typed in the family name and found this website. My grandfather, Frank Loughrey lived in San Francisco and had a son named Ronald Loughrey (he married a woman named Dukey). Shortly after I was born my parents split and when I was 5 my mother gave me to her sister and brother-in-law to be raised. My uncle adopted me and I took his last name. I wonder if there is a family connection through my grandfather?

If anyone has ancestors who originated in Scotland, then there is a fantastic website you should look at. It's called www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk and you can search for old parish records, and also for statutory records. I have found a wealth of information on this website, and I think it would be very useful for someone tracing their roots back to Scotland.

There also was a McMachen family which bought the William(1765) Applegate farm from William in 1812,and the name McMachen seems to have a ring just like the Manown name and the McMachen family owned that land just West of Robert Applegate's farm before John Manown owned the farm West of Robert after 1842.--------------- Maybe McMachen is also Irish? There is a town on the East side of the Ohio River just South of Wheeling named McMachen, for some reason. Who is it today that knows more history than I about Forward Township,I would like to know?--------That is other than William Boucher?

Yes ,William is likely the son of Richard Manown of Manown Road,Forward Township,Allegheny County,Pa.,but is John the son of William,John Manown ,who owned in 1842 ,the land just West of the land which was owned by Robert(1759)Applegatewho in 1842 sold that 100 acres to James Wall ,Jr. --------------Does anyone in the Manown family of today know the history of the names of Sunnyside Hollow Road,Rostosky Ridge Road(which I believe had another name before it was called Rostosky Ridge Road,and Manown Road? Also, I would like to know if you know where the Kerr's of the early 1800's lived ,was it on Sunnyside as I suspect? I have many things to discuss with the serious Manown researcher,inter alia, as I am quite a serious researcher myself,and I have much good info to give you.

Congratulation on the site it is wonderful.
I am amazed how many of my relatives have contacted you. I have been researching my family for years and years. Originally my cousing Tim started it off. Tim in his later years became ill and asked me to take over. I hesitated for a while but eventually I took up the challenge. There were three brother Hugh (convict), Richard and William (my line). Also at least one sister Margaret Loughrey who most likely stayed in Ireland. They came from Buncrana Donegal, Blue Bird Hill Londonderry, Newton and Limvardy. Associated married lines from Ireland are Alcorn, McLachlin, Murdock, Nelson and possible Lough. Their parents were James Loughy a weaver living in Buncrana County Donegal married c1794 a girl named Mary. Hugh had at least two children possibly four being Robert, Maggie and Mary Martha who came to Australia as Richards child. Looking forward to keeping in touch. Best wishes Lois

I am looking for several things now ,more later. I need to know when the Rostosky family came to Rostosky Road, Allegheny County,Forward Township. Pa. as the road seems to be named after their family and they were not in the 1790 census for certain? I also need to know what property boundary by family name will occur at 1438 feet on Rostosky Ridge Road below the Sunnyside Road /Rostosky Ridge(or Williamsport)Roads intersection? I could rephrase the question to say"Does the 1438 feet from the Sunnyside/Williamsport Roads intersection coincide with what was in 1812---1834 the northernmost property line of the Robert (1759) and William,Jr.(1765) Applegate's property? Who owns today the abandoned house and barn at that approximate 1438 feet dimension below the Sunnyside Road intersection? Who owned the Pangburn /Kerr/inter alia cemetary at its origin date which is located just west across the road from what appears to be the 4407 Rostosky Ridge Road property today? Who has any information on Richard Manown who owned the property just north of what was the Robert (1759) Applegate property in 1834 and who has any information on the William Manown who bought the (apparently)7 northern acres of Robert Applegate's property about 1834. Was that 7 acres the original William(1733)Applegate" homestead" ? Was William Manown the son of Richard Manown? Inter alia questions?

Hello there. For the last 10 years I have been looking for information on my great-grandfather, James Loughrey. He was born in Derry in 1876. I don't know his parent's names, or if he had any siblings. He married Anne Boyd and they had a son (my grandfather) before immigrating to Canada sometime around 1905. James died during the war in 1917. Not sure if anyone can help, but it was worth a try. :)

Is anyone related to the John Loughry and Elizabeth Knox Loughry family from Buena Vista, Ohio? I am related to the Loughry family from Tucker Co. WVa and found in the orginial book by Julia Jewitt that she has a member of my Loughry family saying she is related to this John Loughry. So far no link has been found. I recently found a person named Buena Vista Loughry in my Loughry family. Isn't that an odd name for a person? Maybe that is some indication that a relationship between these families exists. Thanks.

To those who have the "Loughrey" surname in the UK or Ireland, please do not be surprised if you get a call from me as I'll be in England, Scotland and Ireland in August 04. So if you are one of us them please send me an email and I'll try to catch up with you whilst I'm over there.

Hello-like so many who have commented in he guestbook, it is suprising to see there are so many Loughreys. I have moved around often as a child and we were alwayws the only Loughreys in the phonebooks and of course, no one could ever pronounce our name correctly. My father is Ronald Edward Loughrey and his father was Edward Loughrey. I am 37 and never knew my grandfather. It seems the family came from Ireland via New York, ended up in Pittsburgh where my grandfather married a Schonrank. They moved to DC at some point-and that is all I know. I do know my grandfather is a veteran and is buried in Arlinngton Nat'l Cemetery-did visit the site once upon a time. That's about it-I could find out more if anyone has connections to my family at all. Have a very blessed Christmas!

My name is Don Loughry and I live in Australia. Very interested in Loughrey's family tree. My great great grandfather was Edward Andrew Loughrey and in 1869 at the age of 14 he joined the Pennsylvania Railway Company. He later joined the Baldwin Locomotive Works and in 1879 he was sent to Australia where he stayed. When he decided to stay in Australia he decided to change the spelling to LOUGHRY. Interested to know if you have any record of E A Loughrey. Thank You

Hello Everyone! I am a member of the Loughry family also. I am the 7th great grandaughter of Jeremiah Loughry. My 3rd great grandmother was Margaret Catherine Loughry who married John Joseph Cline on the 4 March 1856 in Elkins, WV. I am really happy that I found this site. Maybe someone can help me. I just so happens that my 3rd great grandfathers' {John Joseph Cline} mother was an Elizabeth Loughry. According to his birth record, he was born on 16 june 1835 in Harrison Co., WV. His Father was listed as unknown. Can anyone tell me who Elizabeth was? Why, if his mother was a Loughry and father was unknown, Why was his surname Cline? I would appreciate any help you can give me. Thank You

Just a warning to all our family members that someone is sending out a financial scam solicitation aimed at people connected with the Loughrey surname. The solicitation comes via e-mail, and masquerades as a plea to help transfer the estate of a deceased relative, engineer David Loughrey, out of South Africa. So if you receive any e-mail that begins, "I am Larry Ben(ESQ) a solicitor at law. I am the personal attorney to Engr.David loughrey, national of your country, who is an Engineer, a sole owner of ROLHB Construction Company in South Africa," PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE don't respond! If you do, you will be met with a request to provide your bank account information to facilitate the transfer, and once the scamming parties have your information, they will quickly try to *withdraw* funds, not deposit them. I know how much you Loughreys love to do good deeds on behalf of other Loughreys around the world (after all, that's why you're here!), but in this case, the Loughrey Family Association urges you *NOT* to comply with any such request you might receive. If you have received such an e-mail, or if you have any further questions about the scam, please feel free to contact me at the above address. Thanks.

Hi, My name is Larry Loughry from Morgantown WV. I like to do seaches on just the name Loughry sometimes and see what comes up. My earliest ancestor to come to this country is Jeremiah Loughry. There is a lot of differnt pronunciations of the name and many different spellings. The history of this issue is a concern for me. Personally I pronounce my name with emphasis on the "gh" as if it sounded like a K if sounded out smoothly. Like Lockery, although I beleive the Irish sounds it more like a strong GH. Whatever it is, I choose to pronounce my name Lockry, but I'd still like to know the exact origin of it. Reply if you like. Larry

Hello All . . . Since last posting in the fall of '99, I have a little more information . . . maybe someone out there will be able to help me trace the ancestors and possible siblings of JAMES LOUGHRY. He was b. abt 1825, possibly in the Fintona area. He was the son of James and Anne Glass Loughry. His father was a hatter. He married Matilda Fleming in Fintona(Church of England & Ireland)12 Nov. 1845 and left for Scotland shortly thereafter . . . where the name was spelled LOURIE, then LAURIE. They had eight children: William(died at 3 mos.), James, Mary Jane(who marr. a Walter Davidson), John, another William(my husband's grandfather), Margaret, Martha, and Charles(the youngest b. 1866).

I have been in contact with many of you but never posted here. My great grandfather Archie was born to Archibald M. and Margarette Clark in Oswego, N.Y. in 1869. Archibald M. was born in Ireland possibly 1830-came to the US via Canada and after a spell in Washington Harbor Wisconsin, came to Oswego. Siblings in Wisc. may have been; Margaret, William, Maryann, John, Thomas, Patrick,or Charles. Archibald M. apparently was a sailor on the Great Lakes. Archie,the youngest, was raised in Oswego by another family and the whereabouts of his family members a mystery besides William who also raised a family in Oswego. London, Ontario Canada had many Loughrey's and could have been a possible stop on the lakes for a sailor. No other leads beside that. Would like any info. to solve these mysterys, Any letters will be answered if I may help others. I may be taking a trip to Ireland this year and would love to meet Loughrey's that are related!

Hi,
My mothers Grandfather was a James Vincent Loughrey who was born in 1863 in Bellefonte, Pennsylvania - he and his brother Edward Andrew (b 1882 in Bellefonte, PA) came out to Australia in about 1880 ? and brought the first steam trams to Australia. James was a Locomotive Engineer. James married a Theresa Locke from Canowandra in NSW. James and Theresa had 5 children - Jack, Eileen, James, Margeory & Heilda. Eileen was my mothers mother.

My mother has asked me to find Loughrey relatives in America - Am I on the right track is this the same Loughrey Family?

We would be very interested in hearing from anyone who can help us.

Regards

I have been trying to research my g-grandfather's genealogy. James Edward Lockery, His father was Francis Ambrose Lockrey b-1824 in Whitefield, Maine. I have two questions. I have been told that Francis father was James who immigrated from Northern Ireland to Canada (with wife Katherine Johnston) and walked to Whitefield, Maine (because there was a large continent of Irish Catholics there). I have been to the whitefield cemetery and I have found a head stone for a James Loughrey with approx. the right dates for birth and death. Question 1) does it make sense that this Loughrey could have a son that would be called Lockrey? And question 2) I was told that my g-grandfather changed his spelling to Lockery to be more English-like for good employment during this time. I have seen lots of Lockery(s) from Ireland, over the Internet. Could the story I have been told been backwards?

G'day everyone,
I am interested in the derivation of the surname Loughrey. There seems to be at least three possible origins of it's appearance in Ireland.
(1) From Norman adventurers who followed Henry 11 into Ireland. DeLoughrey and DeLouriare said to have arrived in Ireland C.1177. The Normans were the first to introduce the use of surnames.
(2) O'Luachra (or another Gaelic name) formed the beginnings of a clan of indigenous Celts with a phonetically identical surname. The anglicized form (corrupted when committed to the written word) aligned the group with Protestant objectives. Retaining a celtic name suggested you were Catholic and therefore you would be unpopular with the ruling British authorities.
(3) The settlers (colonialists) of Northern Ireland, a mix of Scottish and Northern England immigrants, included a Lochery from the Lanarkshire region of Scotland. This possibility seems to be supported the apparently greater numbers of Loughreys (and variants) in the counties of Ulster up until the latter half of the nineteenth century.
Can anyone provide information which would either support or eliminate one or more of these propositions - or perhaps offer an better theory?

Stephen was born in County Cork,Ireland ,in 1866.
He came to the U.S. betwen 1887 and 1890. He married Anna on July 28,1891,in Allegheny County,Pittsburgh,Pa. I have a copy of their marriage record. Anna's maiden name was Kelly.Stephen died on July 22,1929 in Pittsburgh,Pa. I have a copy of his death certificate. He worked as a security guard for the Carnegie Steel Company.
Anna died on October 8,1933. I have a copy of her death certificate and will. Her parents were John Kelly and Bridget Scully. I have located Stephen and Anna in the 1920 Pa. census,living at 220 Fisk St., Pittsburgh,Pa. Also, I found them in the 1910 and 1900 Pa. census.They are buried in the Calvary cemetery,Section H,Lot 42, 718 Hazelwood Ave. Pittsburgh,Pa. I have pictures of their headstones.

My branch of the Lockrey / Loughrey family started in 1853 in Australia with the arrival of Richard Loughrey and his wife Elizabeth (nee Alcorn)from Londonderry. Some of his children were born in Balloughry. We believe Richard had a brother in Australia - William.

My name is Brucetta, my dad was Bruce James Laugherty. My grandfather was Sam Laugherty. He and my grandmother had 2 sons and 4 daughters. My aunts were Thelma Headrick, Iva Burnette, May Johnson, and Josie ?. I think my uncle's name was Howard. I only saw these people a very few times when I was very young. My dad and mother divorced when I was three. I am trying to find out where they came from. They all lived in Knoxville, Tennessee when I knew them. I now live in Chattanooga, Tennessee. I am just starting to investigate my ancestry on my father's side.

.Are you by any chance some kin to my family? I saw your site on the web.

How does the Laugherty family fit into your family?

Please let me know. I am very interested to learn anything I can. Waiting to hear from you.

Please write. Thanks,

Hello from NY! I'm searching for an Mr. Lockery who died died bet 1885-1886. He was married to Agnes Marie O'Neill. Mr. Lockery died before my grandfather Charles William was born in Geneva, Ontario County, NY. Agnes Marie remarried to William J. Fox and he adopted Charles in Rochester, NY. When Charles married he signed his middle name LOCKERY, instead of William. Does anyone have Agnes Marie O'Neil Lockery b. 1868 or Charles William Lockery b.1886? A recent visit to Geneva did not produce any leads. Any help would be appreciated, as my family is very interested in our Lockery ancestry.

Her mother, Ida Mae Dawson (Jun 1876) parents were William Dawson and Harriett Loughery. I know that the Ruble family came from Belmont County, Ohio and suspect that the Dawsons also came from Belmont County, Ohio. However, I have been unable to locate any information on Harriett Loughery. If anyone has information that could help in my search I would appreciate a response. Thank You.

Hi y'all. Jus' stumbled on the site and am delighted with it. My parents came from Donegal. Milford and Ramelton. The direct Irish translation of our name means 'King of the Sea' so I assume we were at some time in the past, visitors to Ireland. In the Cork region of Ireland there are families with the name DeLoughrey which would have, I reckon' a french connection. I also have ggg'gparents who emigrated to USA. Finally, I descovered that our name (spelt 'Loughrey'),was from Co. Sligo in Ireland.
Cheers y'all,

Completing my June 5 2001 message. We have recently found, thanks to Lavon Brown, some more details on the whereabouts of the children of Patrick Loughry (1801) and Mary Patton. Many of his children ended up living all or part of their lives in New Hampshire.
Patrick (1844) died in Whitefield on Nov. 24 1895; buried in Whitefield.
Annie Laughrey died in Sept. 15 1899 in Whitefield; Allen Laughery died in March 20 1921. Both were the children of Peter Laughery, brother of James (1826)Loughery and son of Patrick (1801) Loughrey (or Loughry)
Michael (1860) Laughery, son of James (1826) married Lizzie Longway on Sept. 21 1890 in Whitefield.

John Loughrey, son of Owen (1831) appears in Bethlehem in 1875. Owen in another son of Patrick (1801), and the great-grand father of Michael O. Loughrea of Topeka Kansas. I am the great-grand son of Bernard, another son of Patrick (1801)

Hi Everyone

I am trying to research our genealogy, and I have learned of a MARGARET LOUGHERY who married WILLIAM SEARL. They had a number of children, to include MARGARET, WILLIAM, CURTIS, HAROLD, and NANCY.

I believe MARGARET LOUGHERY's mother was ALIECIA. In the 1910 Pennsylvania Miracode Index it lists her as ALIECIA LONGHERY, but that may be a typo. Our family knew her as "TISH".

This all took place in the Philadelphia area, and we are still here, in Bucks and Delaware Counties.

I would love to hear from anyone who can help us research some more.

Thanks

I am trying to solve the mystery of the disappearance of my great-aunt Annie Lochrie who left Renfrew, Scotland to live in the south of England in the 30's or 40's. My grandfather Donald Lochrie recently passed on a few years ago, and along with him, so did the story of his sister Annie. If she was still alive today then she would be celebrating her 100th anniverysary on the 6th June 2002. It is for this reason that I am intrigued to know what happened to my mystery great-aunt. I hope there are some fellow Lochries out there who may have a granny or even had a mother with the maiden name Lochrie. Thank you!

I would like to make contact with any members of the Loughrey clan whose ancestors have any connection with Castledawson (originally known as Dawson's Bridge), Co. Londonderry, Northern Ireland. From gravestone evidence I know that there may well be Loughreys in Chicago whose ancestors emigrated there from here in the late 1700s. I would be delighted to make contact with any such people or indeed anyone who thinks they may have a connection with the Castledawson Loughreys. Congratulations to Liz Fuller for the tremendous work that she has done in establishing this site.

In response to Clare Loughrey:
My tree has a similar story. My great grandfather was a Loughrey from Londonderry, Ireland. He had six siblings (seven in total) and were all arranged to marry seven siblings with the last name of "Black". My great grandfather refused as he was in love with my great grandmother. He was, as a result, disowned by the family. This having happened, I can find no information on him at all. His name was Richard Loughrey. I am not sure about what year he came to Canada, but he had 5 children, Bill, Eva, Richard (my grandfather), Lily and Bob. I am still desperately looking for any info on this side of my tree.Hope this helps.

The Lockery blockhouse discovery is a few miles up the road from where my family grew up and I still reside. The restoration has begun and should be completed 2002. Amazingly this original structure was found by Carl Eiseman, a local historian. (see Latrobe Historical Society.com for pictures and writeups. This blockhouse was originally scheduled to be relocated but will now stay in its original location as part of a low land refuge being establihed by the Arnold Palmer family. Arnie lives a few miles away.

I have only just begun researching the 'loughrey' family tree. My grandfather Gerard Loughrey from Eire married my grandmother Edna Harper from Northern Ireland (around 1930) They had four children... My mother Patricia, and also Gerald, Bobby and Hilary, then they moved to England around 1958.

I'm trying to find out as much as possible regarding the geneoloy of the 'father/son' line throughout the years.

I live in Hong Kong, China and as you can imagine, access to certain ancestry records are not easy. I'll be happy to receive anything you may send me regarding the loughrey name.

My Loughrey family currently resides in Mesa, Arizona. I am the youngest daughter of Patrick James Loughrey(deceased 1992)born April 1918 and the former Katherine Georgi. All I know about my father's family is his father's father's name was Edward and he was from Ireland and had five children: William Edward(my grandfather)and Patrick James,who were born in Ireland and came to the U.S. as children, Bertha,Nell,and Michael. I am not sure of their birth order or dates but I think my grandfather was the oldest. I think they were from Galway or somewhere in Northern Ireland-according to my mother. My Grandfather married Myrtle O'Dell date unknown. They also had five children:Edward,Patrick(my father,)Honora,Lynn and Laura. They are all deceased except Laura who lives in New York State. My father and his siblings grew up in New York in a town called Liberty I believe. My father married my mother on Dec.31,1940. They had six children:William born 1941,Katherine Patricia(called Patsy,)born 1943,Marie born 1944,June born 1952,Janet born 1954 and Gale(me)born 1960. My father moved us from New York State(upstate area near finger lakes)to Mesa,Arizona in 1965. My siblings are all married with children and some have grandchildren so the family tree continues to grow. Would love to hear from other Loughrey's who might see a conection or who have family members who have been born with the birth defect called Spina Bifida as I was. Would especially like to hear from Loughrey's in Ireland. Forgot to mention we are also related to a family named Walsh last known to have lived in England. Would also like to hear from anyone who might be connected that way. Thanks for letting me know about the website. Gale Loughrey,Mesa,AZ.

Hi, I'm son of Roy(1926-86) Grandson of John G Lockrey, and great Grandson of (Spider) Lockrey from around Hamilton Ontario. I was told he was called Spider because it took 6 cops to put him in a patty wagon. His wife died giving birth to my grandfathers sister (Cora). He then droped off the kids with an aunt and left town forever..One story said he went to Chicago in the meat packing business and another said he only moved one county over and remarried...Can anyone shed some light???

I am not a Laughrey, but I am researching a diary kept by John Laughrey, Jr., for four months in 1896. He appears to be living in Jamestown (Mercer County), PA, at that time, and was in 7th grade. Other children living at home (with unnamed parents)at that time were Maude, Anna, and May. Does anyone know about ancestors & descendants of this family? What happens to John?

Thanks in advance for any info!

I am about to start compiling my family tree & would love to hear from anyone who can provide any information. My Grandfather Robert James Marshall Loughrey was born in 1887 and married Elizabeth Higham 1n 1908. My Great-Grandfather was also Robert James Marshall Loughrey and was a tailor by profession- he died prior to July 1908 and we believe is buried in Gillingham, Kent. We do not have a birth date or location, but think he may have been born in Ireland. If anyone can provide any further information so that I can trace my family line further back it would be much appreciated.

Greetings fellow Lougherys-
My name is Kelly Anne. I have been doing geneology research for the past several years although other projects keep me from spending the time I would like. My gr.gr.grandfather was Solomon Loughery (shown in various spellings) who was married to Nancy Jack. They immigrated to New Brunswick Canada in 1832 from Colraine N. Ireland and settled outside of St. Martins in an area that is still known as Colraine after their homeland. They had 8 children,the 5th being my gr.grandfather Benjamin. I still have blanks to fill in as the family quickly grew. I would love any info on Solomon''s ancestors as he was my starting place.

I would like to hear from descendants of James Loughrey (1826) and Anne (Nancy)Gallaghere. They were married in 1848 in St-Sylvestre Quebec. They had 4 sons: James (1852), Patrick (1855), Michael (1860) and John (1865). James (1826) is the son of Patrick Loughrey and Mary Patton. He is the brother of Bernard, my great-grand father.
WE would also like to hear from descendants of Owen Loughrey (Loughrea, Loughry) and Margaret Mullavey. They had 3 sons: Patrick (1858), Edward (1860) and John (1860). Owen later remarried with an Ann in 1871 and had Daniel (1872). Owen is another brother of Bernard.
We would also like to hear from descendants of the other brothers of Bernard, namely: Patrick (1846), Peter (1861), Joseph (1864) and Frank (1869). Note that Peter, Joseph and Frank are the outcome of the second marriage of Patrick (1801) with Mary McGown Mahoney, which happened in 1858, the same year his son Bernard got married!

Laugherty family.My connection is Jabez LaRue, my ancestor,
m. Sarah Laugherty in Cape Girardeau, Missouri where they met
and married in 1812. Jabez was a spy in War of 1812 and died
soon after that war. His brother and sister in law, John
and Clara LaRue reared his son, Isaac, who was my ancestor
and who moved to Texas. If you know anything about these
Laugherty's or are from anyone that you think was kin to
them, please contact me at above email address. Or send letter

find out what connection Benjamin Laugherty who lived in the
same household as Sarah might have been. I realize this is

were the same back in the 1812 era.

Hi,

I am trying to locate my uncle John Loughrey on behalf of my mother, Mary Ellen Loughrey. John Loughrey was born in Ardraven, Buncrana, Co. Donegal, and he would be around 76 years of age in 2001. We have not see or heard from him in over 45 years, and he is now, if he still lives, my mother's only relative as far as we know. He worked for the New Zealand Shipping Company for a while, and then in a hotel somewhere in Maida Vale in London - If anyone out there has heard of him, or knows anything about him, or any family he may have we would love to hear from them. He had one other brother Paddy, who died about 15 years ago in Buncrana.
Thank you, Roma Dyer 3rd April 2001

Hello, I am searching for information on John and Rachel Loughary (my ggg grandparents). I have seen their name spelled laughery and even loughrey to mention a few.
John and Rachel had eight children; Talitha Emaline, Bethly Caroline, Wiley Green, William Johnson, Nancy Jane, Lafayette Wilson, John Scott and my gg grandfather Hiram Smallwood. I believe that John and Rachel moved to Illinois from Tennessee around 1819 then to Iowa around 1830.
Some of their children came to Oregon via the Oregon trail. Are there any relatives out there?

What a great website!! I love it. I have been trying to research my mothers maiden name Loughrey. I stumbled upon this site and hope somebody can help. It is said that my great grandfather, Richard Loughrey was one of seven who were arranged to marry seven sisters with the last name of Black. He refused and was black sheeped. He was in love with mt great grandmother Elizebeth, last name unknown. Together they had 5 children, Bob, Lily, Richard (my grandfather) Bill and Eva. My grandfather was born in Londonderry, Ireland and married my grandmother Elizebeth Pendlebury. Does any of this sound familiar to anybody? Beacause my greatgrandfather was a black sheep,I can find no info on him. I seem to remember Richard Loughreys parents were sheep farmers. Thanks for the great website!!!

is due to the wonderful job that Liz Fuller has accomplished on the internet and in gathering the information and assembling all of it to form a big family tree with over 10,000 names.

I searched this up and i want to find out more. Did you originally come from Ireland? Our name originally came from O'Loughrea. I think the original link was when Sam Loughrey emigrated to Chicago in the early 1800's. You can find these details on a gravestone at Castledawson Church of Ireland

Hello,
Congratulations on your web site, and your determination to keep your history in the present. I was facinated by your site, most especially with the number of different people who log in and contribute. The name James/Seamus seems to have a special significance to the Loughrey Clan, and it was intriguing to see that it appears generation after generation in not only my line.
I shall look in again in the near future.

With Regards
Sean Loughrey

Hello from NY! I'm very happy to see this website. Might I suggest that someone advertise the link on rootsweb? I'm searching for an "Unknown" Lockery who died abt 1882-1884. He was married to Agnes Marie O'Neil. The "story" I was told from my late father is that Mr. Lockery died before Charles William was born. Agnes Marie remarried to William J. Fox (a friend of Unknown Lockery)and he adopted Charles. Does anyone have Agnes Marie O'Neil Lockery b. 1868 or Charles William Lockery b.1883-1885? My father had noted that at one time they were in the Geneva, NY area. However, a recent visit there did not produce any leads. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Again!

I found some information to add to my previous message about Mary Francis Loughrey. Her parents, William Loughrey and Eliza Steele, were born in PA about 1829 and 1830, respectively. Their first two children, Alison and Ema, were born in VA. Their next four children, Charles, Ann, Joseph, and Mary were born in IA. If anyone knows what city or county in PA or VA the family came from, I'd be thrilled to know. Thank you for your help.

Hi! My great, great grandmother's name was Mary Francis Loughrey. She was born Feb 19, 1868 in Iowa. Her father's name was William Loughrey. He came from Ireland or Scotland. Her mother was Eliza Steele, who also came from Ireland or Scotland. Mary Francis had several siblings. One was a brother named Charles. Another was a sister named Annie. If this sounds familiar to anyone, I'd appreciate any information you can share. Thanks!

Hello! I'm a 2nd great-granddaughter of Mary Jane Laughery, born April 1829 in Ohio and died after 1863 in Missouri. She married John Wesley Purkey 20 November 1846 in Ohio and had Charles Wesley, Joseph Francis, Josephine, Henrietta (my great-grandmother), Della, John Windsor, Ralston, Levis and Will. She died after 1863 in Missouri. I know nothing about her ancestry except that she was of Scotch-Irish descent. Does anyone recognize her name from their own research? Thanks.

Hello All -

Ray A. Loghry <[email protected]>
Duncan, OK USA - Thursday, August 10, 2000 at 23:22:24 (EDT)

Hello, All Loughreys!!!

It has been exciting exploring your website. There are a lot of Loughreys out there.

I am the granddaughter of Earl Kellogg Loughrey and Ella Johnson Loughrey. My mother was Verna Julia Loughrey and she had an older brother Harry, a younger brother Arthur, a sister Ruth Irene and a brother Jay Irving who died as an infant. Verna was born in Lyle, Minnesota, June 21, 1903 and died June 3, 1999. She married David William Erickson, Jr. in Washington, D.C. on January 31, 1930. They had three children: David William III, born June 20, 1932; Mary Ellen (married name Jystad)born July 19, 1935; and Carolyn Ann born July 20, 1944. Verna's brother Harry was married twice and had three children, Eugune "Sonny", Marilyn, and Patricia.

I believe that Earl's (my grandfather, born in 1856) was the son of a John Loughrey who was with the 1st Colorado Cavalry during the Civil War. Earl's mother was Caroline (Mundy?) Walker and was supposedly from Virginia.

Mother (Verna) had a cousin Perry who traced the Peter Loughrey clan. It is my understanding that Peter would have been my great great grandfather and was born about 1832.

I would be very interested in joining the family organization. Please send information to me at:

Carolyn A. Erickson
3509 Winnetka Avenue North #220
New Hope, Minnesota 55427

Mother (Verna) had relatives in St. Paul that I met when her mother (Ella Johnson Loughrey) died in 1976. They were members of Perry Loughrey's family and included June Moe and Gaylord Loughrey, among others.

I also met a cousin of Verna's from Willmar, MN, Ed Loughrey. He had a sister Geneva and a brother James. The family had a bakery and a coffee shop.

Other Loughreys I am familiar with are Harry's daughter Marilyn, who's married name is Keller; his son, Gene; and grandson Edward Loughrey who is a lawyer in Seattle.

Again, it has really been a treat to see the Loughrey name and I hope to hear from the family organization soon!

John was "an Irish neighbor of Rev. War soldier, Adam Hill, at Sandy Lake Twp, Mercer, Pennsylvania" according to family records. In 1820 he was in nearby Coolspring Twp. Will of John Lowry dated 3 Apr 1823, proved 3 Jun 1823 mentions wife, Nancy and children, unnamed divided land "75 acres of land now being occupied by my father, James Lowry, and Margaret, his wife". Executors William Hill (his son) & William Johnisen. Witnesses Samuel Lowry & William Hill (his son-in-law who married daughter Margaret "Jane".

Gretings Liz and all the Loughrey family. Just a note to thank you Liz for the addition of the Loughrey crest etc that I sent over some time ago. I have some doubts as I said about the authenticity of this computer generated information but I would be interested to see if any of the Loughrey's mentioned are related to anyone in the family over there. I have since seen the " Find your Family Crest" franchises in one of our major shopping centers. They were producing a similar looking item for someone while I was watching. I will be interested to get some feed back from the Loughrey Org

I am still looking for the ancestors & descendants of John Loughery who was born about 1810 in Ireland, and died March 18, 1863, in (Manayunk) Phila, PA. and his wife Jane Boyle who was born about 1816 in Ireland, and died about 1875 in
(Manayunk) Phila. PA. After arriving in the US, sometime after 1835, they lived in Manayunk,PA. Their children are:

Patrick Loughery, b. 1832 Ireland, d.........
John D. Loughery, b. 1835 Dublin Ireland, d. June 21, 1894 Stockton, NJ
Archibald Loughery, b.Feb.19,1839 Manayunk,PA.
d.July 21, 1864 Manayunk,PA.
Mary Jane Loughery, b. 1841 Manayunk, PA.,
d. March 13, 1863 Manayunk, PA.
Sarah Ann Loughery, b. 1843 Manayunk, PA.,
d. June 25, 1867 Manayunk, PA.
Catherine Loughery, b. 1845 Manayunk, PA.,
Margaret Loughery, b. 1846 Manayunk, PA.
d.March 16, 1864 Manayunk, PA.
Hugh Loughery, b. 1849 Manayunk, PA.
Isabella Loughery, b. 1853 Manayunk, PA.
Ellen Loughery, b. 1856 Manayunk, PA
Emma Loughery, b. 1859 Manayunk, PA.

After her husbands death, Jane continued to live in Manayunk, on English's Row. In 1875 she no longer appears in the Phila. city directories. A son Hugh, who from the 1870 Phila. census lived with his mother, does appear at this time in the directories.....until April 10, 1886 when, a Hugh Loughery was buried at St. John the Baptist Roman Catholic Church Cemetery in Manayunk, PA. I have unable to locate a obituary for Hugh, to verify that he is one of my Loughery's.
The one book that would have been of great help in marriages and death after 1840, for the family, was stolen from the church rectory around 1935 when someone found information they didn't think should be known about their
relative.

I have information on John D. Loughery's (mine) family line. Through birth & marriage records, I've been able to trace the spelling of the Loughery name to Loughrey, that began with John D. Loughery's son, Joseph J. Loughrey.

If you can make a match with any of this, I'd love to hear from you.

Thanks for listening, Karen in NW Florida

Hi Everybody
I am an Australian Loughrey directly related through William Loughrey to the same family as it appears the majority on this site are.

A comprehensive family tree has been drawn up by a cousin and i will let him know about this site and get our story attached for all to see.

By the way how do we join the Association?

I would like to start a similar Association here and would like to here from anybody interested in doing so? Can I get that added to the website as a "news" item. Perhaps we could affiliate with your group. My business is running associations so setting it up is not a problem.

Great site and great to see that their are lots of "cousins" out there.

Hope to catch up with you all one day and share a pint of 7 of Guiness.

Hi, I am a Loughrey. I just got started looking up my family history. My cousin has been gracious and gave me information that goes back to 1840. I am a direct descendant of Michael Loughrey. He was born in Buaile Phaidin, Ireland in 1840. He had 15 children, I think 10 survived. Or at least I have ten of the names. Basically my family comes from Gort, Ireland. I know in my family I am related to Murrays, Lanes, and Naughtons. At least they were my grandmothers' maiden names. It is wild has that there is Southern and Northern Loughreys. I just wanted to say Hi to the fellow Loughreys out there. We all must be related somehow or another!

Love to all!

I just recently started researching my family name. I do not have a clue as where to start. While researching I came upon your website. I would like to know out of all of the different spellings of the surname, which is the correct spelling that actually started this family name. And how do people pronounce it. My family pronounces it "lockery". As of now the furthest back family member I have is my grandfather, Melvin Dan Loughery AKA "Pinky".
If anyone has any useful infromation for me it would be greatly appreciated.

Hello Liz. I would've wrote sooner but something in our school computer went wrong and no one could get into the internet. I finally was able to get to this sight. Unfortunately I do not have my own phone number at this particular time because I just moved. But I can give you my aunt's number and I would love it if you gave me a call. If there was another way to do this more privately I would but this computer will not let me send you anything. Please hurry and remove the number.

Hi, Shandrice --
For security reasons (so you don't get calls from people not involved in this discussion), I removed your phone number from public display in your note. Unfortunately, however, I goofed and forgot to write down the number for my own use before I deleted it. My apologies. If you would either post it again (this time, I'll write it down before I take it off display!) or e-mail it to me privately (is there a friend's account you could use?), that would be great. Thanks.

Hello Liz! Wow, this is so exciting. I really did not think that anyone would try to help me. I tried to e-mail you but for some reason my computer keeps on acting up. You see I am in high school and this is the only place where I have access to a computer so I do not have my own at home. Also I do not know what is wrong with my e-mail address. Ever since I came back to school from summer vacation it has'nt been working. So the only thing I can think of Liz is to give you my home phone number. And it's up to you if you want to call me and try to help me and my family out because my mother despirately needs to close a chapter in her life and she needs to meet her mother my grandmother Harriet Furgeson Loughrey. Thankyou so much for your reply.

Hello, Shandrice! I'm the Communications Director for the Loughrey Family Association. I saw your two previous posts and tried to contact you, but for some reason the e-mail address you left didn't work. I'd love to help put you in touch with some people who might be able to help you find your Loughrey relatives, but would prefer to do it in private e-mail. Is there a working address where we can reach you? Please reply to the address below. Thanks...and welcome!

Hello to all of my loughrey family! I had sighned this guestbook a while back in search of my grandmother. Before I had no name and no location to where she was at and I really could not get any help. But now I have both. Her married name is Harriet Loughrey and her maiden name is Harriet Furgeson and I heard that she was living in Florida. It is one of my goals in life to meet my grandmother and to ask her how could she abandon her two daughters Patricia and Darlene when they were both just babies just because she met a white man with the last name Loughrey and he said "It's either those black kids or me." I believe also that I have an uncle out there by the name of either Dominique or Domingo Loughrey. It's not my mother's fault or my auntie Patricia's fault that my grandmother decided to have children with a black man, so how could she abandon them? I just want my grandmother to know that she has 11 beautiful BLACK grandchildren. 8 girls and 3 boys. The 3rd boy was just born from my auntie Patricia. If anyone can help me or knows of my grandmothers where abouts please sighn this guestbook with the information because I no longer have e-mail. I will be checking this guestbook everyday for a reply. Please note that my grandmothers name is Harriet Furgeson and she stays in the Florida area and she may be still holding her married name which is Loughrey even though her husband died. Thankyou.

Just came over for a look. I went to High school with a Patricia Loughrey in Redding, CA in the 50sand have run into some Lockrys and Lockries as well. My research indicates that we all spring from the same Celtic Origins but that in order to confuse the britts and also because many of our ancesters were illiterate the spelling has been changed several times and many different names were derived from the same clanwhen our ancestors went from Scotland to northern Ireland to claim land from the Britts.

More information on my grandparents. My grandad was originally born in a place called Quigleys Point in Ireland and he married Isabella who was from Donegal. It would be interesting to find any other of the Clan from Quigleys Point.

Hi to all the Loughrey clan from down under.
I did some time ago send this information over to Bob Loughrey, it is as much as I currently know of our family in Australia. My GGF came from Finevy, County Antrin Ireland 1833, he came to Victoria, Australia in the late 1870's He was married to Ellen Kennedy Bn 1835 Ballyhain Ireland. They had 6 children Michael James Bn 1876, Mary Bn 1878, Johnathan Bn 1880, Hanna Cathrine Bn 1881, Margaret Bn 1882 and then my grand father William Bn 1885. He married Elizabeth Gorman in New South Wales, Australia in 1918. They had 7 serviving children .I believe that there were 2 children who died at birth. My father was the 3 child Michael. He married my mother Vera Jessie Briggs in 1920 they had 2 boys, myself and my brother Geoffry Lance Loughrey. he has 2 daughters Tracy & Kylie and a son Stewart and I also have 2 daughters, Caroline, Sarah,and a son Andrew David. My wife's name is Rosemary and my brothers wife is Rhonda. Rosemary and I have lived in Perth for the last 15 years. To my knowledge I am the only Loughrey in Perth Westrn Australia.
Thanks for the opportunity to post this information. I hope to get to Ireland one day soon to do some further searching.

Hi y'all. Shocked (but very nicely so) to find a Loughrey family homepage. I'm from a farm outside Limavady County Londonderry N. Ireland where Loughery is about the most common name at Balteagh Presbyterian Church. Genealogy sounds good fun. There is a Fanny Loughery buried in the Churchyard born about 1760s (I'll have to go up to check sometime) - does that tie in anywhere? Before Balteagh was founded in 1829 people where I live went to Drumachose Presbyterian in Limavady town - ring any bells?. I'd love to hear from any of you. All the best.

Hi! My greatgrandmother was Flossie Lothery of Mecklenburg Co. NC. Her greatgrandparents were William Loughery and Elizabeth Thomas. They were married in 1821 in Mecklenburg Co. NC. I assume that William died before 1850 because Elizabeth is listed with their children in Iredell Co. Morgan Loughery and his wife, Edith Albrea live nearby. I have hit a wall in trying to find William's parents. Does anyone recognize these names? I would love to talk to someone who does! Until I found this web site, I had not found very much info on the Loughery name. Stacy

I am trying to work backwards from my great grand parents: John Loughary b. May 9, 1796, d. Jan 29, 1846, and Rachel Johnson b. Mar 25, 1795, d. Mar 13, 1880, m. Mar 25, 1818 probably in Illinois. They had the following children: Telitha Emaline, Bethly Caroliine, William Johnson, Nancy Jane, Wiley Green, Hiram Smallwood, Lafayette Wilson and John Scott. Hiram Smallwood Loughary was my great grandfather b. Mar 27, 1830, d. Sept 30, 1896 in Elgin, Oregon. I will appreciate any relevant information. Thanks.

Hello again! I misewell add that I am in search of my grandmother who is an Irish women and holds the last name Loughrey. I do not know much about her. My mother whose name is Darlene Loughrey told me that when she was just a baby her and her sister Patricia were abandoned by my Grandmother because my grandmother had met a white man and this white man said it's either me or those colored children.So my grandmother chose him.And my mother was raised in foster homes only knowing that her mother was an irish women who abandoned her. But everytime my mother looked in the mirror she saw a black girl because that was the color of her skin. She was also seperated from her older sister Patricia due to the moving around into different foster homes. I do not even know my Grandmothers first name. I want to meet her so bad and ask her how could she abandon her own children. And I want her to know that she Has nine lovely black grandchildren who want to meet her. And I want her to know that her oldest daughter Patricia stays in Las Vegas and has 5 children four girls and the oldest a boy and that her youngest daughter Darlene whom is my mother has 4 children three girls and the youngest a boy. And to my Loughrey family even though I do not know you I love you and I hope to meet some of you one day. And know that this family is rich in culture.

Hello I came across this website in search of my family history. I want the rest of you Loughrey's out there to know that this family is rich in culture. My grandmother is Irish and she had children with a colored man and my mother was half Irish and half black and she had 4 children with a black man but she passed down to us her last name Loughrey. And I would be very interested in coming to one of the family reunions.

I enjoyed your site. I have only met one other LOUGHREY in my life. Glad to know that so many of you exist. I and my brother are decendants of John LOUGHREY and Mary HUFFY of Donegal, IRE. My GGF Hugh came to PA in 1852 and settled in Pittsburgh. We all are probably related back in IRE somehow.

Great site . . . you've done a nice job. I'm searching for my husband's gr grandfather and ancestors from Ireland . . . where, we don't know. He married Matilda Fleming from Fintona, south of Omagh, in 1845. His name was James Loughrey, as was his father's. He and Matilda moved to Cathcart, Renfrew, Scotland and the name became Laurie.

I have practically zero knowledge of my ancestry. My father,
Alfred A Laughery, was born in Trotter, PA in 1882. Family
lore says that his father was the youngest of five, and too
young to serve in the civil war.

Hello all Loughreys.I'm able to trace only back to my grandfather who
left Ireland around the turn of the century from Omagh in county Tyrone.
His Name was Edward and was born on 6/2/1882. His father was named John.
We have heard of the Pennsylvania Loughreys, but only to the extent that
there are plenty of them. Delighted to visit this website and will boookmark
it now. Is there any Northern Ireland information? Rob Loughrey.

Hello all you Loughreys.

I was just browsing the web, and came upon your site - well I never! I dont know anything about the family, apart from my great grandfather comming from Northern Ireland.
Do you pronounce your name Lockrey, as I do, or mispronounce it as Luffrey, Lowry,etc as everyone else does here?
By the way, I've got 2 brothers( Colin and Ian), a son ( Oliver) and a daughter( Imogen).
Hear from you soon?

Hi Liz just thought I would log on and see how the reunion went? Would have liked to have been able to attend but it's not just around the corner from Australia. May be one day! I did suggest that we should try to arrange a gathering or a contact in Sydney for any "Loughrey Family" folk who may be coming over for the 2000 olympic games. what are your thoughts on that idea ?

Dear Liz and All,
I can see that you have been spending a lot of time on the Loughrey web site, I looks really nice.
I wish I had more time to spend on the Loghry Ledger, but I am still very pleased that that our web sites have helped bring so many people together, to join in their embrace of our shared heritage.
I am sorry I could not make it over to Dubuque (my wife was the first class of females and Loras college there, but we were leaving for Germany.
Keep in touch. Dennis Loghry
