I appreciate it very much, and will add a bit more information that may be of some assistance as it is closer in time. It is a bit confusing as the name was spelled different depending on who wrote it down. There were 3 sons of William that stayed in the Ballymoney area, Dennis b.1877 Taghey d.1966? didn't marry I think, next is Samuel b. 1879 Taghey d. 1958? didn't marry I think, and Joseph who married Agnes Leslie b. 1890? from Ballymoney, father was William Leslie. I do not know if they stayed in the area or not. Joseph and Agnes had 5 kids Dennis, Hugh, Annie, Sarah, and Samuel. Thank you again for your time. Catherine Thank you Dorthy!
