The surname Esler according to the records from Ireland, Griffith's, reveals 60 households of that name in the whole of Ireland in 1840-60 and 56 of those were in Co Antrim. My dilemma is that Grt Grt Grandfather Robert married in Australia, came out in the 1852-3 era chasing gold, married in 1866, giving his parents names William and Mary Ann (nee Black), from Co Antrim. No other reference -Town/Barony/Parish etc. found. Believe there are relatives in Canada, one having been a Doctor. Brian Webb
