Hi everyone I am new to the list and can finally claim ancesters from County Antrim. My ggg grandfather was John Mc but had not been able to prove Allister, he married Ellen Mc Ferran ca 1838. I have had a census return from 1881 for years living in Stockton on Tees County Durham but had not been able to prove that they were my family. John Ellen & had daughters Ellen & Rose with place of birth Ireland and Catherine & Mary with place of birth as Stockton. They also had 2 boarders Francis McFerran & John. I have never been able to confirm Ellen's maiden name until today. An aunt has finally given me a partial copy of the 1841census that was taken 7 June 1910. My ggg grandmother, Ellen is listed aged 2 & her parents Francis McFerran , Farmer aged 42 & wife Ellen aged 40. The family are living at Crushybracken, Rasharkin. What I don't understand is why only my ggg grandmother aged 2 is listed - she is the youngest member of the family, all the rest have an x and no details. I would be delighted if anyone with local knowledge could tell me where Crushybracken is & also where the family were likely to be baptised. Better still any connections to these families! Kind regards Maureen
