Nevin, Any Colwells/Calwells in Larne, please? TIA, Bob.

Would the kind person who is doing Tithe looks up please see if there is a Peter REID in Antrim...probably in Ballymoney.. He married a Jane HOWE, so there would probably be that surname there also, but I don't know the father's name.... Thank you so very much, Barbara L.

Hi Would it be possible for you to have a check for a Robert McConnell in Rasharkin? Many thanks if that is possible.

Have you tried: P William Philby et al, Passenger and Immigration Lists Index. (Detroit, Gale Group, and Thomson Gale, 1981, with supplements, 1982-2003). I had no idea where my great grandfather came from until I started a volume-by-volume search in Philby. The results opened a whole new vista that enabled me to identify ancestors/relatives I didn't know existed. All the Best!

Charles Wellington CONNOR, born abt. 1820. Said to have come from County Antrim, Ahoghill parish. Found to be in Upper Canada in 1841, Middlesex County, living next door to Patrick CONNOR who may or may not be a relative. Charles is married in this census record with a mall child. Patrick has a larger family, so may be a father or uncle to Charles. Both have been in Middlesex County for 12 years. Has anyone any information on this family? Thank you, Carol B.

I've been working on my gggrandmother's family for 15 years and it's hard going. This might help you. My gggrandmother was Charlotte Bell, born in 1800 in Belfast, father, John Bell. I found a list of lots of siblings at a local LDS library, but unfortunately we recently moved and my genealogy files are in a mess. I'll try to find it and see if there is a Mary among them. Charlotte married John McKean in ??, and my ggreatgrandfather was born in Belfast in 1832. He had an older brother, James and a sister whose name is unknown at present (perhaps Margaret). The children all emigrated to the U.S. in the 1850s or thereabout...some earlier than others. It makes it harder that Bell is a very common name in Northern Ireland. Oh yes, Charlotte's brother, Robert, was a sea captain.

Many thanks to all who replied. The consensus is that Ballecragely is likely to be: Ballycraigy, of which there are three to choose from!! My next move will be to get the birth certificate of their second child. Congratulations on being such an enthusiastic and helpful group.

Hi Sally you can check out my Neil family line at http://www.jamesgower.co.uk/ the site has a index or follow the Todd line,this site belongs to my cousin. good luck Yvonne

Twenty-five years of research has not brought me any closer to connecting to Ireland and it has become a toilsome pursuit. I have recently uncovered a lead that seems to be leading nowhere and hoping someone either on this side or the Irish side of the ocean can help with. My progenitor and 3rd great grandfather arrived in US some time in early 1800s. I recently discovered a Patrick McLaughlin arriving in Philadelphia on Sept 8, 1801, on the ship "Active" sailing from Londonderry. The ship's records give no additional info of any significance. I am wondering if there is by any chance additional records available from the departure side of the trip? I know from previous research that many times peopel traveled together from their origin and after arriving here traveling to their destination with these people or others they might have met on the trip. The connections I can (possibly ) tie to this therory are several family names that ended up is the same area of south eastern Ohio and the fact that a couple of these names eventually married into my McLaughlin line. A couple of the other names on the ships list were Gibson, Moore, Wood(s) and Law. Family tradition says the following: That Patrick and a brother (name unkn) ( there was a James McLaughlin on this ship, but he was in cabin while Patrick was in steerge) came to this country into Baltimore. I can find nothing to prove they landed in Baltimore. That they were from or sailed from County Cork, Ireland and lived in an area called Dobbins Glenn. I am hoping there might be someone in Ireland that might know of such a place as Dobbins Glenn as this would be a tremendous help as I haven't been able to find such a place. One line of Patrick's offspring say that they were Scot/Irish and possibly came from Scotland. So as the years go by and I am over taken by age I am wondering if this mystery will be or even can be solved. I would appreciate any help that anyone my be able to give on this mystery.

John, This certainly doesn't directly answer your question, but perhaps might be a clue. Since all Armstrong lines, particularly those known two hundred years ago, seemed to "recycle" given names, you might at least find possible descendants/researchers by looking for Armstrong lines with both JOHN and HUGH in several generations. Then, of course, hopefully, another John/Hugh researcher would have info from Ireland.

Still searching for my elusive Chambers ancestors from Belfast Great great grandparents: Thomas Chambers and Agnes Brady (m December 17 1858 Newtownards. They had numerous children (born in Newtownards or Belfast) including the following: a.. Jane (b. May 5 1868) b.. Jane (b. June 6 1874 (yes a second Jane...have yet to find the death of Jane number 1) c.. Mary (b. June 3 1876) d.. William (b. May 3 1870 (my great grandfather)) e.. Agnes (b. April 27 1872) According to William's obituary in Montreal in 1919, there were three other sons, one of which I believe is John Andrew. William married Elizabeth Williamson (date?) Their son, Thomas, ( my grandfather) who was born in Belfast Ireland in 1897. Elizabeth disappears soon after his birth (did she die in child birth???) while William remarries in Montreal Canada in 1909 to Frances Jane Rollins, a family friend from Lisburn Ireland Anyone sound familiar

I am replying to 2 previous messages in this one e-mail rather than repeat myself to Bill & Lida Bill, although you have Patterson being used as a first name, are you aware of it being a family surname in another of your family lines, hence the reason for the unual first name ? Lida, you will see my reason for responding to your Jackson querie here too. My Gt Gt Grandfather James Kennedy born Layd, Antrim 1809 joined the British East India Company in 1829, went to Calcutta, India with his wife Susan ( surname unknown ). James & Susan had 2 children Mary Ann Pattison Kennedy, ( b. 1831 & d. ?? ) & George Jackson Kennedy ( b. 1834 & d. 1835) & when Susan also died in 1835, James married Susan Adam the widow of another soldier & they had James Higginson Kennedy b. 1840 & d. 1905 in New Zealand ) & David Black(e) Kennedy ( b. 1842 & d. 1897. ) Although I have found information about James' time in India & the family's emigration to Castlemaine, Victoria, Australia c 1852, I feel that maybe Mary Ann may have died in India too, as I find no evidence of her being in Australia. James Higginson & David both came to NZ to fight in the Land Wars in 1863, with David going back to Australia to go Gold Prospecting & he died at sea after being taken from New Guinea in ill health. I have often wondered why the names such as Pattison, Jackson, Higginson & Black(e) were used as second christian names for these children & can only imagine that they may have been family surnames from the mother's line or grandmother's lines of either parent. If either of you have any Kennedy references in your research I would love to follow this further with you. After 23 years of research I am still trying to find that parents of James b. 1809, & have recently learnt of a James Kennedy being born 7th April 1809 at Knocknacully, Layd Parish, County Antrim, son of David Kennedy and Peggy McGennell & hope that I might find proof that this is my Great Grandfather & his parents.

Trying to determine nobility of Lady Mary Hogg b. c1763 County Antrim, Ireland. m. James Poag b. c1759 County Antrim. If we understand peerage correctly, the younger sons and daughters of dukes, earls, and marquesses prefix Lord or Lady to their first names. To what family of nobility does Lary Mary belong to? Apparently, much to her family's consternation, Lady Mary fell in love with their gardener, James Poag, and due to family pressure, eloped with James and eventually removed to America [South Carolina]. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you. r/Steven Mitchell - Naperville, IL USA

In the 1824 Tithe Applottment books for Norther Ireland/Ulster there is a Hugh Armstrong in the townland of Elginogh (Elginny) Parish of Skerry as well as a Hugh Armstrong in the townland of Polee (Pollee) Parish of Skerry It is thought by some that this is the same man.. At the same time (1824), there was a John Armstrong head of a household thought to be in close proximity to the household headed by Hugh Armstrong.. some are of the opinion these two men were brothers.. Is there some kind soul out there who has any info what so ever on either of these fine men??? Regardsless of how insignificant you may thing it is, I'd like to hear of it....... Please..!
