So then I searched here!.http://www!.surnamedb!.com/ and found this for you, Surname: Mcelvogue This unusual and interesting surname, now chiefly associated with the Ulster county of Tyrone, is an Anglicized form of the Old Gaelic "MacGiolla Mhaodhog", son of the devotee of (St!.) Maodhog or Mogue, from "Mac", son of, with "giolla", literally translating as "servant, attendant, follower" (but used here in the transferred sense of "devotee"), and the obscure saint's name "Maodhog", believed to be synonymous with Maughold!. St!. Maughold is said to have been a robber who was converted by St!. Patrick in Ireland prior to going to the Isle of Man as a missionary, where he became a bishop!. Another Old Gaelic name "O'Maolmhaodhog" indicates devotion to this particular saint; translating as "descendant of the devotee of Maodhog", from "maol", bald, tonsured; the name is now Anglicized as Mulvogue, and though formerly numerous in Donegal and Connacht, is now rare!.

A son, Thomas, was born to James Mulvogue and Mary Coen, at Gurteen, County Sligo, on April 18th 1867!.
