My Craigs are from Antrim also, and from about the same timeframe. Associate names in Ireland are McQuillan and Dinsmore. Locations are Dunloy in Finvoy parish, and either Caldenagh or Galdanagh. Family is mixed catholic and protestant in many generations - trying to hold onto land, I would say. Some of them were of means. My gr.gr grandfather William Craig new Portrush as a location, and knew how fair his home was from the port.
