The 1862 Griffiths Valuation head of household listing for Co. Antrim showed two Samuel Davey/Davys. One was in Carrickfergus and the other was in Dobbsland townland Kilroot civil parish. Since you posted in Kilroot, I assume the second was your ancestor. I checked the 1901 census for Dobbsland and Samuel was there. He said he was a retired farmer. I also found a civil death index record for a death in 1908 and then a civil death index record for Agnes Davey in 1894. (see below).
Let me know if you have any questions.
