All family history research in Ireland starts with Griffiths Valuation The Primary Valuation of Ireland, 1848-1864, gives a complete list of occupiers of land, tenements and houses. Better known as Griffith's Valuation, it is arranged by counties and within counties by Poor Law Union Divisions and within Unions by barony and then by parish and townland. You can now search the Valuation for all 9 Ulster Counties for Free at www.ulsterancestry.com Good luck and good hunting! www.ulsterancestry.com _________________________________________________________________ The new Windows Live Toolbar helps you guard against viruses http://toolbar.live.com/?mkt=en-gb
Hi Natasha, I recently joined this web site http://www.ancestryireland.com/index.php?ai_home A user pays. I had a look and there were 2 William White's born 1856, 1 in Down & a William John White in Antrim. Marriages, there were 6 in 1879, 3 in Down, 2 in Antrim & 1 in Banbridge. Crosschecking an Agnes J Carleton married 1879 Down. Might be worth a look.

Hello everyone, I am looking for a William White b. 10 Dec 1856 in Antrim. Until now I've always thought he was born in the Ballycarry area. I have written to two Presbyterian ministers in the town, but neither have a record of him in thier baptism records. His daughter Gertrude Maude White was baptised in a Non-Subscribing Presbyterian church in Holywood, Down, so I am breaking all the rules by assuming he belonged to the non-subscribing church. His father's name was Edward White and his mother's maiden name is said to have been Beggs. I don't know anything else about her. His father was a farmer in Ballycarry. He was educated in Belfast. Married Agnes Jane Carleton in Newtownards, Down, January 1879. Dn't have a marriage record either, that's the next thing I'm going to hunt down, hopefully it will have his parents' names. He had three children in Ireland; Robert Victor b. Cardy, Down Dec 1879, where Agnes was from; Edith Adelaide b. Belfast 1882; Gertrude Maude b. 5 Nov 1884. I have little information of the family after the arrived in New Zealand, but I have even less of them in Ireland. Carleton side has been a bit easier though. Any information or suggestions of where to look next would be greatly appreciated.

My hopes (and probably thousands of others hopes) is to find where in Antrim Co. my Jacksons came from. They were in Halton County, Ontario Canada at least by the early 1830's and if death records are to be believed, then very possibly between 1813-1816. Death records for one of the children list Antrim for place of birth. Here are the names and the children I've been able to list. Thanks!

I'm interested in these postings for the surname Bell. My gg-grandfather, Samuel Bell, was born in 1814 purportedly in Lenagh Townland in Antrim. He migrated as a small child to Ontario, Canada. Interestingly, he was also a stone mason. Samuel's parents are Samuel and mother Rosanna McComb. Does anyone have information about these surnames in the area near Lenagh (parish of Drummaul)? Fran

Hi Jen: Sorry I am not sure where to suggest to go from here. How about Ulster Historical Society. You can search for free - it has been a start. I have checked all my records here - Presbyerian church lists 1864, and some cemetery listing - but no William and Martha show up together. I will keep you information and hope we can match up at some time. Brenda Jen Watson wrote: >Hi Brenda >Thanks for the email. >Can't be sure if there is any connection.

From "Carmavy Graveyard 1993" gravestone inscriptions recorded by E & A Roberts, Blumsom, McKee and Fitzgerald. Plot 279. "The family burying ground of the late ROBERT OFFICER, Boltnaconnell, 1906." Neighbouring plots are of SUTHERLAND and McCONKEY. Carmavy is close to Ballyrobin and about half-way between Crumlin and Templepatrick. May not be directly relevant. Norman
Bill: Many, many thanks for this information. Not sure of where some of these Officers fit into the current family of William Officer and Margaret Ann Adgey, but with a little more research......who knows. It always amazes me when fellow enthusiasts find the valuable information much more quickly and with seemingly less effort. I'm still quite a 'newbie' at this so my resources and knowledge of whats available on-line are still fairly limited. I will definitely be checking out the websites that you attached. I had no idea that they existed....and will continue to search for my elusive family in Antrim County. I truly appreciate all the help and information that you and other wonderful listers have offered.
