    Description : Lease for 7 yrs, life of Right Rev. Nathaniel Lord Bishop of Down and Connor at rent of £15.16. 0 per year, concerning Rt Hon.

    In the 1831 Irish Census there was a Henry Quigg in Bovagh Townland, Agahdowey, Londonderry, Northern Ireland with a family of 6 males and 2 females. Also in the 1831 Irish Census there is a Henry Quigg living in Culcrow Townland, Agivey, Londonderry, Northern Ireland with a family of 4 males and 3 females.

    When Henry died is the question. James Malcolm left home in 1847 for Canada and left behind his two sons in the care of his brother, John, and sister, Catherine, in the home of his father. In 1850, John marries and his two oldest sons join him in Canada. There I am going to presume from the family history that Henry died in 1847.

    Henry married McCauley, Mary. in UNKNOWN. Mary. was born in 1784 in Glenkeen Townland, Agadowey Parish, Londonderry, Northern Ireland; died in DECEASED in Bovagh Townland, Aghadowey Parish, Londonderry, Northern Ireland. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
