O'Neill's and Coyle's in Ardboe

TyroneArboe (Tyrone)

Hello,

I have been researching my family's tree, and it gets confusing as there are many Johns! Nonetheless, so far, I have made it up to:

- Joseph 'Wee Harry' Henry O'Neill (1893–1974), (who was married to Sarah Mcevoy (1899–1978). They were both from Ardboe, Tyrone)

- He was the son of John O'Neill (1852–1870) (who was married to Sarah Jane Coyle (1860–1901). Again, both from Ardboe, Tyrone) 

- He was the son of John O'Neill (1922–1893) (who was married to Mary Jane Laverty (1830–1914). Both were from Ardboe again but migrated to Yorkshire, England, where I believe he gained an assault charge against Mary. They both passed in Yorkshire)

- Finally, he was the son of John O'Neill (1796–1871) (who I believe was married to Margaret Campbell (1799–1880). I know they were from Tyrone, but I cannot pin down exactly where)

However, I cannot find either the last mentioned John O'Neill's or Margaret Campbell's parents, which I would love to do if possible. Also, if anybody has recommendations on how to find photos of family members from my tree, that would be incredible. I have found photos of Sarah Jane Coyle and Mary Jane Laverty, but I would love to find any photos of other ancestors!

Additionally, I have found Sarah Jane Coyle's parents, Francis Coyle (1838-1922) and Helen French (1839-1918). And Francis Coyle's parents James Coyle (1803-1870) and Teresa Devlin (1818-1883), who I would love to find information about too, if at all possible!

I have attached a copy of my family tree with dates as I find this easier to look at and ascertain who is related to who.

All the best!

Hello Aoife,

    I don't check this site often so I am late to the discussion. A lot of the information given in the original post seems to match with my family tree. (John & Mary Jane Laverty are my GGGrandparents) Have you done your DNA so we can check to see if we are related, and thereby know if we are indeed speaking of the same family? I would also like to share additional information with you, but would prefer doing it through email. my email is: lmhaberman@juno.com. Looking forward to sharing information soon. Laura
