Thanks Nevin I will have a look, but my Lynns were almost certainly in the Ahoghill area from at least the 1830s. The best summary I have seen of Lynn in Antrim is a paper by James Lynn: "Searching for Lynn Ancestors in County Antrim", which lists all Lynn (and variants) he has found in the records. These are the Lynns in the Kilcurry area: From "Tithe Composition Applotment Books" for parishes in County Antrim, 1825: Adam Linn (Kilcurry, Ahoghill) Hugh Linn (Kilcurry, Ahoghill) James Linn (Kilcurry, Ahoghill) William Linn (Kilcurry, Ahoghill) From 1860 -1862, Poor Law Union of Ballymena for Kilcurry: *Occupier* *Lessor* *Area* William Linn James Craig house and garden Henry Linn William Cheney 7 0 15 Patrick and Michael Linn Rev.
