Dear Listers I am compiling a database of all BMDs for MCADOREYS in NI/IRE. My conclusions so far about the McAdoreys are that: in the early 1800s there were seven RC families living between Randalstown and Antrim ie: 1. John McADOREY and Catherine MCMULLAN Drumsough 2. Hugh MCADOREY and Bridget COLL/ECCLES Drumsough 3. John MCADOREY and Sarah DOBBINS Ballywee 4. Charles MCADOREY and unknown wife Lenagh 5. Daniel MCADOREY and Jane GRAHAM Gally Hill 6. Rowland MCADOREY and Mary Ann MCILVENNA 7. John MCADOREY and Margaret MADDEN Drummaul and Hannahstown Closer to Ballymena were two COI/Presbyterian families: 8. David McADOREY and Elizabeth BOYD Galgorm Parks 9. Patrick McADOREY and unknown Liminary McADOREYS are found worldwide: 10. Two MCADOREY brothers who served in the British Army in India: 11. Two RC McAdoreys brothers from Randalstown emigrated to Mobile Alabama in the early 1800s 12. A Presbyterian McAdorey weaver emigrated from Co Antrim to South Carolina in the late 1700s 13. A RC McAdorey carpenter emigrated to Halifax NS in the mid 1800s. I have not untangled the McAdoreys in Larne in the 1800s yet. Hope this is of interest.
