I have a Wilson line that I can trace back to a Robert Wilson, b. 1826 somewhere in the Ulster provinces, but finding him and his parents, with a name like Robert Wilson, is like looking for a needle in China. I also have Wisemans and Dunlaps from around Cullybackey, Ballymena and the old Ballywatermoy Townland at Glarryford in Antrim.

King family immigrated first into Pennsylvania,then migrated to Virginia, before ending up in North Carolina. According to census records, they were both born in N.C., so the family probably immigrated into the colonies early to mid 1700's. Family legend reports that the King family were Irish. Miller family is said to be irish or Scots/Irish.

His daughter, Eliza Thompson OFFICER, died in 1908 in Rhode Island. Her daughter wrote for her death notice that Eliza was "...born in 1815 in the north of Ireland, of Scottish descent, the daughter of Beers and Mary Thompson." Eliza seems to have been the third (and last) child of Beers & Mary. She married in Quebec c. 1836. No trace of them so far in Quebec so I don't know when they emigrated, where they landed in Canada, nor from where they originated "in the north of Ireland". Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I might seek Beers Thompson "in the north"? No tradition has been passed down about him (nor Mary - who was a Stewart/Stuart). TIA. Jack Bowker

Hi There is a partial 1851 census for Antrim which someone put on the internet some time ago and I managed to download it. If you have any names, I can check it out for you. Regards Carol Barber

After you have check Griffiths, you must also check the land record indexs for the land records of ireland. the Land Memeorials. you have to know the townland for you folks. That usually has to be found this side of the big Pond. I found mine on a tomb stone of the fellow who came from Ireland. But allowing that you dont look for it , Griffths is the way to go. Mine went from 1793 from when they came to Argyle , NY to County Cavan, Ireland. fred

There is another way - they are the Griffith Valuation Book which is dated about 1840's. This is what most people use instead of the census what was destroyed. By the way, it was the whole of Ireland census that was destroyed either in 1916 when the British destroyed some and the 1922 Dublin fire. You may be able to get a look at these books in the libraries. Not everyone has them but they are available in Ireland and London. Hope you get what you are looking for. Cathleen

I have been reading alot about Northern Ireland's censuses being destroyed. Is there any source of information detailing who lived with a family during a certain time period? I am looking for years from about 1840-1920. I have a bunch of families to check and don't know where to begin without a census. Also...are there records detailing travel or immigration from the UK to Northern Ireland? I have 2 families from Yorkshire that end up in Antrim and Down. How could I check when they arrived? Thanks for any help! I'm fairly new at this. Eireann

The most easily obtainable data which might help would be the Civil Registration marriage indexes (began 1845) on LDS microfiche - if you have checked those without success. How about trying Marriages in Scotland or England. Sometimes Irish people worked for a time across-the-water and married there.
