A search for Mullindreen Road brings up three homes with the postcode BT42 4LZ in the townland of Ticloy and Multimap.com gives this location _http://www.multimap.com/map/browse.cgi?lat=54.9311&lon=-6.0776&scale=50000&ic on=x_ (http://www.multimap.com/map/browse.cgi?lat=54.9311&lon=-6.0776&scale=50000&icon=x) Mullaghboy Hill appears in the top right of this map. Mullagh comes from the Irish mullach meaning summit (of a hill) Boy/bwee comes from the Irish bui meaning yellow. Regards Nevin

Dear Antrim List, As an experiment, I'm passing my note here to Bette Kosmolak through the List. Maybe one of you will recognize something in what I'm searching. David [Bartley = Barclay] _______________________________________ Bette! Thanks for all the work you did in searching the Buckna Presbyterian Church records for my Barkley, Logan, Wallace quest and on the place- name, Mullindrew. These data didn't just pour out of your computer when you clicked your search key! Now are you living in the vicinity of Buckna? Have you ever searched for land lease records? I'm interested in 1790-1810 Mullindrew and also the townland, Lisnahilt, where a Barclay family was living at least between 1776 and 1796. [Lisnahilt Presbyterians likely gathered in Broughshane.] I have searched and found useful information at PRONI on leases in County Tyrone, but have no idea what is available in Racavan Parish. So far I've found no information at all on Mullindrew [not a townland]. Maybe the early Ordnance Survey Maps give clues. Modern OS maps only show Mullindreen Road. By the way, do you have any idea of the origin of the name, "Mullaghboy Hill"? I had one other question, the early OS Memoirs list Racavan Parish as being in the Armagh District, though modern OS Maps label the area as "Ballymena LGD" [maybe following "Ballymena PLU?]. Do you know what "Armagh District" covered? Thanks so much, David

I would be interested in any information about the parentage of James' wife. All the Best! Ray MacWilliams

Thanks Nevin. The one in the Ballycloghan area is the closest. From what I have found out a Samuel and Margaret Dale did live in Ballycloghan. In the 1910 Ulster Town Directory for Ballymena, there are also two Dales under Broughshane - one in Ballycloghan and one in Kinbilly. The Kenny family mainly lived around Kirkinriola and Ballygarvey from what I have been told by Kenny researchers. Another of my cousins who does a lot of business with Ireland, travels to Belfast one or twice a year and is willing to help us but doesn't quite know his way around yet. His firm makes beer taps.

Looking for information about James McKinnie, block printer, born abt. 1830. Had at least one son, John, who was a pastry maker at Warwick's Bakery, Fett Street, Belfast. John married Mary McWilliams Dec. 27, 1875 in Trinity Church, Belfast. Would appreciate any assistance. Thanks very much. Bill McKinnie

Hi My cousin and I are researching the DALE family from Ballycloughan, Ballymena area. Ferguson DALE, my great grandfather, emigrated to Australia in 1857 and his marriage certificate states that he was born in 1837 in Ballymena to a Samuel DALE and Margaret BEATTIE. There is also a possible connection to the KENNY family through Martha DALE, Samuel's sister. My great grandfather did not like to talk about his family left behind in Northern Ireland, consequently we do not know if he had any brothers or sisters. Any information will be greatly appreciated. Shirlee Cantwell (Dale) Wellington New Zealand

The following is a transcription - the best I can do considering the quality of what I had to work with - of a letter from Wm. Cherry of Carnlea, Co. Antrim, N. Ireland to Agnes McClintock formerly of Co. Antrim living in Illinois. I believe Agnes, her mother Elizabeth Peters McClintock and her two brothers, James and John, went to America in 1866, the same year that my gr. Gr. Grandparents William and Lydia Morton Stevenson went to Michigan. Agnes 8 years later married Adam Stevenson son of William and Lydia in Illinois. I know a little about a couple of the other names and places mentioned in the letter if it is of interest to anyone. Anne Klintworth Transcription of William Cherry letter to Agnes McClintock, possibly about 1866. (Page one) Carnlea September ... Miss McClintock I rec'd your long wished for and welcome letter on Thursday last being date Augt. 25th which gave us great pleasure to hear you were all com--paritively well. This also leaves us in a similar state of health for which we have reason to thank God. I rec'd a letter and newspaper from Derry and was sorry to hear you had to wait so long. We thought James might have came home and stopped here or you all as you had so long to wait, also sorry to hear of your being so long on sea. The company aught to be applyed to for the loss and disappointment you sustained. (written in the border of the first page "____ weather is very wet.

Nevin: Thank you for the initial information. The Andrew Robinson you listed from Griffiths Valuation was my Great Grandfather. He was born about 1830 and his brothers and sister would have been born during the 1820's and 30's. I would imagine they would have been to young to be listed in the Tithes. Their father was Thomas Robinson who was born 1791. I have a record that he was living in Ballyalbanagh in 1813. Also listed on the record was his widowed mother and brothers Archibald (b.1793), William (b. 1798) and a sister Jane (b.1795). I believe he had older siblings but were married by 1813 since they were not listed on the 1813 record. Thomas's father was John (b. abt 1740). He would have died between 1798 and 1813. I have come across other Robinsons in the same areas that I previously mentioned the are either brothers of Thomas or 1st cousins. Those names were Samuel, Thomas, John and James. You asked about the dates of marriages. I would estimate they would have married from abt. 1800 to 1825. Mike

Hello Nevin: I would be interested if you would review your Co. Antrim Tithe Applotment Books for my Robinson family. My great grandfather was Andrew Robinson. Along with his 11 other brother and sisters they were located in the Ballyalbanagh (Ballyalbana), Ballyeaston, Ballyclare, Tildarg, Killylane and Ballyboley area. Located in the Connor and Rashee Parish. >From some of my readings I believe the records for Connor and Rashee Parish are located under the Ballyeaston Parish. Other Robinsons were in Glenwhirry and Kilwaughter and I think these areas were tithe free. Thanking you in advance for any help you can furnish, Mike Robinson

Hi, Has anyone come across a HUGH HENRY who married a MARY ANNE MUNFORD or Monford around 1825 and had several children in Grange, Antrim in the 1830's? Their son THOMAS born around 1837 moved to Staffordshire,England and became a brick maker in Darlaston and eventually lived in Wolverhampton. I see there are several "Granges" in Antrim which location one should I look at via IGI batch files - although I didn't see a Grange! Cheers, Derek Thom
