Lorraine, Is this info available on line? I am wondering if there are any records for John Stevenson, married Mary Rankin about 1790 I think. I think they married in Ballymena/Ahoghill area, but it is possible that they came there from somewhere else. Thanks.

Loretta, You family research sounds very similar to mine. My mother's McWilliams family came from the same area, Ballymena, Ahoghill and were involved in the weaving industry. I am most interested in knowing how you found the the marriage? My g grandfather John McWilliams was born in Ahoghill 13th February 1826 and his brother James was born in Ballymena c1846. I know there parents were John and Jane nee Bailey/Baillie but I have no idea how to find where they married and what other children were in the family. Any thoughts on this? Oh, and they were Presbyterians too.

The bride was Martha ROBINSON, daughter of Samuel ROBINSON, weaver. She was a resident of Rokeel (I believe it's known as Rathkeel now). The groom was John McKENDRY (which later evolved to McHENRY in Australia), weaver. He was the son of William McKENDRY, weaver and a resident of Carniny. Both townlands are only a few miles from Ballymena, apparently. They married at Broughshane 1st Presbyterian (Ballymena, Racavan) on 17 November 1856. No ages were given but I know Martha was born in 1833 and John was about the same age. They had one son in Ireland in about 1857/8 and migrated to Australia the following year. Does anyone know these families in this area? Most of the McKENDRY/McHENRY families I've come across were Cathoilcs, but this lot were very definitely Presbyterian. Are there any leads I can follow about the weaving industry in Ballymena? Thanks, Loretta

I'm researching STEVENSON in the same places: Ahoghill, Ballymena and Galgorm. They had a haberdashery shop in Ballymena, and the boys were tailors. Phillip, Robert, John and William all born near Ahoghill between 1790 and 1802. They were neighbours of Clark, Sloan and Russell. Any of these names familiar?

I believe that Eliza CALDWELL emigrated from County Antrim to New York during the period 1846 and 1850 and then returned to County Antrim ca 1855-1861. Are there any U.S. members of this list who can help me locate the date of her return to County Antrim please? Ray.Jones,Ontario

My Grandmother was Annie Robinson born about 1861- 1864 in County Antrim and possibly believe it was Ballymena . She married a McIntyre and they had 6 Children . Some of the children we know were born in Portglennone co. Antrim also family lore that her husband owned a Pub . After her husband died she and 5 of her children immigrated to Canada between 1907-1909. She had one son William that we believe either joined the Salvaton Army and or moved to Scotland . They also were Presbyterian . I have had no success over 10 years been able to trace the family in Ireland .

My family name was Anglicized to "Logan" by the British.

Hi, I am interested in the pronounciation of your email name, OLeoghain. There can be confusion as how to pronounce Irish spellings. My maiden name is LOAN. I have a John LONE, b. circa 1811, who came to the USA from Ireland and became a Naturalized Citizen. I received a copy of the page from the Probate Court in Cuyahoga County, Ohio, USA, and John signed "his mark" with an X. Someone wrote JOHN LONE so the spelling was most likely off. I only know of one of John's children, my great grandfather, Charles Cornelius LOAN. Charles is said to have been one of approx. 14 children. My grandmother, before she died, told my sister that the family name had been spelled O'LOANE. I have not found evidence of this yet. The family lived in the Cleveland, Cuyahoga County, Ohio area. While searching online I found a website that has the spellings O'LUAIN and O'LUANE with the English Loan or Lone. My Aunt says that the family was from Derry, Londonderry but they refused to say London. I am still seaching. I would love to hear from anyone that may have a connection or ideas for me.

My gg grandfather James Johnston born abt 1798 emigrated from Co. Antrim to Gloucester Township, Carleton County, Ontario in 1827. With him was his widowed mother Ann. She was 84 on the 1851 Census so born about 1767. I wish I knew where but presume Co. Antrim. I also presume Ann's husband was either James or John as my James was really James John and he named his first son John and second son James. What information that I have says that he emigrated with his wife Margaret Jane Groves, born abt 1803, and a daughter Mary Ann, and a cousin John. I suspect that John was his son, and that there was a daughter Margaret (Margrett) as well when they emigrated. James may have also had a sister Catherine. How would I go about finding out more info? I even found some info suggesting that James was a minister but I don't think so, as he farmed in Canada. Can anyone help me? Peggy

If anyone of those Stevenson's turn out to be connected to a McKEE, RAINEY, TURKINGTON OR McMASTER near Belfast, Lurgan, or Lisburn, keep me in mind. In an old letter written to my deceased mom, my grandmother from Belfast mentioned the name STEVENSON as being part of our family, but I haven't been able to find a connection and cousins in Belfast haven't heard of them. One of those "will o' the wisps" that are elusive....... Thanks, Elise Klug
