looking for information on McEvoy / McAvoy family from Drumaness

DownMagheradrool (Down)

Looking for information about my maternal grandmother's family. My grandmother's father John McEvoy (I believe it changed to McAvoy when they came to America) was born in Drumaness inCounty Down onAugust 16, 1881 at some point he marriedRose Fagan who was born in England in 1885, I think at some point she moved to Ireland.
John dies in Pennsylvainia (I think) onNovember 22, 1958.
John's parents were Henry (or Henery) McEvoy (b circa 1844) and Alice (or Alicee) Kennedy (b circa 1852)

any information is appreciated and I would love to hear from some distant relatives.

The surname was McAvoy in both the 1901 and 1911 censuses. I located the 1871 civil marriage index record for Henry and Allicia. You canget a copy of the record from the General Register Office for around 4 euros. The record will show the names of the fathers of the bride and groom and where the bride and groom were living in 1871.

If you plan to get a copy, let me know and I will forward instructions.
