Dear Listers, Can anyone out there tell me about the church records for the Moravian church which is Lower Ballinderry ? They celebrated a 250th anniversary last year. I have not seen any references in the books I have looked in. Thanks, Dolly

Dear Les, I am great. I have just had a very successful hit lately. This has made me dig all my info up and continue. I was discouraged. This lady is a descendant of one of the great-great-grandmother-s brothers. I had the list from the Glenavy parish records and his bap. was not recorded but this lady gave the info off the death certificate. Their family had gone to Scotland. Robert Yarr had told me someone visited from Scotland when he was young but he did not remember who. That is five of that family accounted for all born around 1832 so I guess I have had some success. I would have more probably if I would go back for two or three weeks and look in records. I would just of to see the records from the Moravian church is celebrated it's 250th anniversary It is right down there by the Yarr land. Oh, well, must educate my son first. Thanks for all the info. What year is this from? Is there a new census out? We have had a terrible winter with only about 5 sunny days in three or four months. People were very down and now that the sun has sun for three days it has been like a tonic. It is cold and some places have had late snow but not us. I am still spending a lot of time with my granddaughter on weekends. Now, I must focus on buying some new appliances as everything is giving out. It takes so much time to price and to look at the features. Then to have them installed. I think I am getting lazier as I get older. How's your searching going? I didn't mention that I have also had a Yarr from England, one from Aust., one form new Zealand, and one from SOuth Africa contact me. I have only been able to put one in touch with the correct group, and he fits on Mary Yarr's ( Gawley's Gate) tree. Well, must go and fix supper.

Dear Listers, I am searching Glenavy Parish area for LENNONS and for YARRS. Thanks Dolly

I was wondering if you could tell me the difference between this list and IRL-ANTRIM sorry if it is obvious. Thanks Dolly

I have just joined this mail list and wish to locate someone who might have access to the 1901 County Antrim Census Index. My grandmother, Sarah Speers/Speirs was born 11 June 1881 in Aghavary, Ballyscullion, District of Toome, Ballymena, Northern Ireland. She was probably raised by her Grandmother, Elizabeth Duff, widow of David Duff, after her mother emigrated to the United States in 1891. When her Grandmother Duff died in 1900 in Northern Ireland, it is assumed that Sarah emigrated to Busby, Renfrewshire, Scotland, where her mother's brothers were found on the 1891 Busby Census. Sarah didn't accompany her mother and infant half-sister to the U.S. for some unknown reason. It may be that Sarah contracted Tuberculosis from her father, or maybe she didn't like her new step-father, James Marshall. According to Sarah's passenger list, she emigrated from the town of Busby, Renfrewshire, Scotland. She departed Glasgow on the S.S. Norwegian 28 June 1901, arriving at the port of Boston, Massachusetts on 10 July 1901. However, after an extensive search of the 1901 Scotland census, Sarah was not found. Now it is assumed that she may have still been in Northern Ireland when the census was taken in March or April, and only went to Busby just before her departure for the U.S. Would greatly appreciate anyone's help in this matter. Thank you very much. Carol (Forsyth) Kroeger - Moline, Illinois, USA --------------------------------- Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! Sports - Coverage of the 2002 Olympic Games

I am trying to find anyone researching this family: Samuel Graham (son of Hugh Graham) b. July 1 or Oct. 25, 1818 Scotland (said to be Blaire Atholl, Perthshire) married Jane Ballantine b. 1813 (Headwoos, don't know if that is Ireland or Scotland) married Feb. 3, 1841 (lists Samuel being from Ballyearl) children: Allen b. 1842 baptized Feb. 3, 1842 1st Ballyeaston Presby. Church Margaret b. 1843 baptized Dec. 25, 1843 1st Ballyeaston Presby. Church Mary b. 1846 baptized April 12, 1846 1st Ballyeaston Presby. Church John b. 1851 (assuming baptized at same church) family immigrated to USA between 1851 and 1854, settled in Ohio, had two more children then moved onto Boone, Iowa to settle. Over the course of his life, Samuel married three times and buried three sons before his death that were involved in the Pleasant Valley War of the 1880s in Arizona. It is speculated that they traveled with a McFarland family from Ireland to US. Anyone with any info. would love to correspond with you. Rhonda Cable

Hi Listers: Can some kind person tell me if the Methodist Church has a head office in the North of Ireland? Marion.

Hi Listers After looking on from the shadows for some time, hopefully someone can help with my query. My gg grandfather William McKEOWN's place of birth is shown as BALLYMAENA Co Antrim (exact spelling) on his army muster roll for 1864. The only other source I can find for him in Ireland is an IGI baptism for Kirkinriola (i cannot be certain it is him). Would Ballymena refer to the townland or poor law union? Best Wishes Steve McKeown

http://www.seanruad.com/ Shows the town of Ballymeana in the civil parish of Kirkinriola, PLU of Ballymena. The Ballymena on your document would refer to the town of Ballymena. If his birth is listed in the yearly INDEXES to civil registration of births in Ireland, which start in 1864, the place of birth given would be the PLU, not townland or civil parish. The PLU for any given area in Ireland will often include quite a few civil parishes, and sometimes parts of more than one county. Colman Ahern, Berkeley.

Dear All, I have some handwritten information (through a brother who was back in NI last year). I need some help on deciphering what the numbers mean. There are three sets of numbers: The first is "Entry 379 Urban 13 Book 20", and is I believe the entry of the death of my grandfather ( William John Freeman, 10th May 1925); The second is "Entry 103 Dunmurry 6", which may be relevant to a marriage for my ggrandfather (William Freeman to Mary Johnston), or may be relevant to the birth of my grandfather (WJF, born 10th Dec 1873); The third is "Book 40 P 38" which may be relevant to the marriage of my Grandfather (WJF) in 1896. (This wedding happened on 9th October 1896, at Belmont Presbyterian Church, and the certificate has a number - 76, I have a copy of the Marriage Certificate). Anyone know how to decipher these numbers, or do I have to send off to PRONI and ask for copies of these documents?.

Even if our ancestors are not visible in it's pages the background information gives hours of fascinating reading. I feel sure Charles Morgan who advertises wholesale and retail shirts, corsets, umbrellas, shoes, and braces at 26 Castle Place (living at 71 Joy Street) is a family member - I just need to prove it! If anyone has information I'd love to hear it. I believe he went to Dublin before becoming a Baptist minister and founding the Baptist church at Jarrow on Tyneside. I think he was my g.grandfather's uncle. (He too was a Charles Morgan who died young of lung disease after working as a linen lapper in Belfast.)
