Trying to document this myself

Classification: Cemetery
Surnames: Joy Murphy
Capt James Joy is my GG grand father. It is a very confusing family line so you have to pay close attention to the dates. The Joys have a long history of using the name John and James in every generation. My siblings have them as middle names (tradition I guess ) I have come across a record in Holyrood for John and Brigid Joy. I have pasted it in below. This is my GGG Grandfather.

Joy:

The dates on the headstones of John and Brigid Joy go back to 1802 and 1804. John was a fisherman. They had three sons and two daughters. One daughter, Ellen was a teacher in North Arm. She later became the first postmistress of Holyrood.
