Hello, I am primarily researching the Holmes family in Antrim, but a Jane McCaw (b. circa 1770) married an Alexander Holmes, a schoolmaster, and emigrated to Pulaski County KY USA. Anyone know more about her? Thanks Nancy Holmes Simpson Susan Brown <susanbrown7777@sympatico.ca> wrote: Thank you so much for that.

I do have her census records up to 1930, some vital records and her hospital discharge paperwork from a hospital she was living at at the time of "deportation". I found her death record over in Belfast from 1957. The family gossip says that she was deported because she was an unnaturalized alien living in a NJ hospital. After WWII the hospital "cleaned house" and it is rumored that they discharged patients who were not citizens. I am still trying to locate her birth certificate from the UK. I do have alot of records and information on her life in Yorkshire, England as a girl and then her life here in the US. I am really trying to dig up some records from when she lived in Belfast and after she returned there at the end of her life. I recently applied to get her medical records from the hospital that she died in over in Belfast and I sent to US immigration for any records they may have. There is no family talk of a court case to deport her. The only thing we knnow is that there was a knock at the door one afternoon and news was that she was being sent back to Ireland. I am hoping that I can dig up some more information as she must have had unknown relatives back there for all of this to happen. Her death record lists that she was buried at Glenalina cemetary. Is there a way to request records from this cemetary? Eireann > 2. Antrim census record question (Ulster3) > Eireann-- > > Do you have U.S. census for your gr-grandmother? When was she here?

I am trying to locate a relative that may have been deported from the US back to Belfast in the late 1940s. Does anyone know if it is possible to take a look at more recent censuses, say 1950-60, if we can prove next of kin? Is this ever done? I cannot locate anything on my great-grandmother except for a death certificate. For the longest time we were unsure where she even went. Any suggestions? Eireann

I also have a Johnston I'm trying to trace. Margaret JOHNSTON, born in Straid 1866. Married William Hilditch GAMBLE, 13 July, 1887. Burried at Ballynure Presbtyrian Church. Believe her father was Thomas JOHNSTON, Born 1840. Anyone have any connections to her? Thanks

When did William move from Kilmarnock to Ballymena? Albert H Boyd in a E-mail of 22 August 2002 said that:- "My main reason for the earlier reference was to point out that it was claiming Mary Fenn to be the mother of John (d Union SC 1806) [T1?] rather than his wife."

[ARTICLE DID NOT SAY WHEN THEY LEFT BELFAST - ASSUME SOME MONTHS PRIOR TO ARRIVAL] Arrived Hampton Roads, VA 7 June 1768 and subsequently moved to 96th District, SC. [THIS WAS ON THE SC/GA BORDER] He settled in Newberry, SC in 1772. [NEWBERRY Co., IS THE NEXT COUNTY TO THE EAST OF THE 96TH DISTRICT. However on the old District map there is no Newberry listed and where Newberry Co is was called "Little River District"]. (The question is what did John do with his family from when they landed in VA in 1768 - go straight to the 96th District, SC? And where in the 96th District did they live before moving to Newberry, SC?). In the 1790 US Census for SC there are 9 John Boyd's listed (see Chapter 6/332). The one from Edgefield County WOULD APPEAR to be above John, as it was formed from the 96th District. However this will need to be proved. However there are none of his children's names in this location in 1790. When we look at Laurens County (the next to the NW of Newberry County) there are the following Boyd's BOYD, John SC Co: Laurens Twp: Unknown BOYD, Robert SC Co: Laurens Twp: Unknown BOYD, David SC Co: Laurens Twp: Unknown BOYD, Hugh SC Co: Laurens Twp: Unknown BOYD, John SC Co: Laurens Twp: Unknown BOYD, Archibald SC Co: Laurens Twp: Unknown BOYD, William SC Co: Laurens Twp: Unknown BOYD, John SC Co: Laurens Twp: Unknown Unfortunately there are no township names provided to see if any might be in the same area. There is 3 John's are we are after 2. There is one David which might be U4. There is one William which might be the William Boyd mentioned by Albert Boyd on 4 August 2002 or it might be the brother R2 in chapter 4/239. In that chapter there is a Robert (R1) who might be the above Robert. While in chapter 6/324 we have a second Robert (1761) who could also be that listed in the 1790 Census. While the Archibald might be the one from Chapter 4/225. Therefore Archibald (1758), Robert (17xx?) and William (17xx (?) might be younger sons to John Boyd (T1?) and Mary Fenn who have not yet been connected to him. There is the strong possibility that there is another Boyd family from the T generation who was in this part of South Carolina in 1790. He could be a brother to John [T1?], some other relative - first cousin- or no relation at all. This father will need to be identified, so the task of trying to link some of the children to this unknown father of the T generation might be able to get under way. Thank you. Mike Boyd

[IT WOULD BE VERY DESIRABLE TO LOOK UP THIS BATCH NUMBER TO SEE IF IT GOES TO SOUTH CAROLINA] There was no marriage entries in the 1994 IGI for the UK, so I am not sure if these children died young, left Ireland before there were married or have yet to be recorded in the IGI system.

However Albert did not provide any dates on this William. [Mike Boyd E-mailed Albert on 8 August 2002 to see if he might be able to send me Coleman C Boyd "old family sheet" to see what other information might be on it.] This sheet might be able to link some of the other families that are recorded in the "newberry" FILE. >From Dean Road, Issue 19, Winter 1992-1993, page 3 it shows Hugh Boyd's (see U1 in chapter 6/332) origins as set out below. While there are no dates given, we could be looking at a 20-40 year period for each generation depending on order they were born in each family. I therefore estimate that this would place this family back about the time of the First Earl of Kilmarnock, William Boyd, [O2/P1] the P generation. However his father only had one son, so this could not be the link to the Kilmarnock family. To find a likely male link to the Kilmarnock family, we have to go back to Thomas Boyd [M2], sixth Lord Boyd, who had five sons, Robert Boyd, Master of Boyd, (c1569-1597), Sir Thomas Boyd (c1570-after 1634), Adam Boyd (c1571-16xx), John Boyd (157x-living 1641), and James Boyd (157x -living 1628). The link could be one of the latter 4 sons in the N generation or even an earlier generation. Thank you Mike boyd Historical Committee, HBS

Hi Cliff, My Stevensons came from Ballymena (grandpa was a tailor and had a haberdashery shop) around the same time frame. Robert was born 1800, large group of boys came to Upper Canada starting 1825 ish, and our Robert and older children came in 1846, then sent for his wife and remaining children.

Hi Andrew, At the moment I have very little on my Antrim McClure family. William McClure born c 1824 in Antrim, married Sarah Whitesides c 1845 in Belfast area. Later known as William English/Inglis McClure. According to the certificate for his third marriage in Victoria his parents were Jacob and Sarah nee Darby. At least 4 children born in Ireland and arrived with Sarah in Tasmania in 1859, Jane c 1846, William Adair c 1850, Mary c 1856, Edmund c 1857 in Lisburn according to a later certificate. Two sons born in Tasmania, John Cubitt 1862 d 1874, Isaac James 1865 d 1947 Victoria. John Cubitt sponsored the McClure family to Tasmania, presumably John Cubitt McClure named after him. John Cubitt's wife Mary nee Chilcott died, as did William McClure's wife Sarah, and William married Mary. After Mary died William moved to Victoria and married for a third time to Mary Ann Rose nee Palmer, he died in 1900 at Richmond. Edmund apparently had a falling out with his family and moved to Victoria and changed his name to Edward Edmonds, a number of his children were registered as Edmonds. A number of Edmonds relatives in Victoria from these children. On his death certificate he was shown as Edward Edmonds McClure. I am descended from Jane and her husband William Hayes who married at Hadspen, Tasmania in 1861.

Ray Hayes I have been trying to find my ancestors from Northern Ireland - one John Shannon and Martha McLure/McClure, they had a son Hugh Shannon, born around 1822 in Antrim, who married one Margaret Hamilton in Glasgow on 12 October 1838. I have not been able to find Martha McLure/McClure anywhere so everytime this surname crops up I hope it is one for me. Have you come address any McLure/McClure resembling the above?

Hi Anne, I was not, but I will look for it.

With all the Johnston talk lately I feel I have to try again. Does anyone have any connection to a Sarah Jane Johnston b~1860 father James Johnston. She married Robert Kirkpatrick Dec 21, 1880 at Muckamore Presbyterian Church, Antrim and her residence was listed as Burnside. His residence was Hungry Hall and his father was William. I knocked down one brick wall this week, so I thought this might be worth a try. Thanks everyone Liz

For Ray Hayes Ray are you aware of a book called "McClure history 150 years". It is about the McClure's in Australia?

My ancestors William and Sarah McClure nee Whitesides married around 1845 in the Belfast area. One of their sons was called William Adair McClure, and of their daughters Jane named one of her sons Theophilus Adair Hayes. I presume their was an Adair connection to the family somewhere.
