Billy parish is in the area of Bushmills. It encompasses many townlands. I have the following discripton from Oct. of 2000. The parish of Bily is in North West County Antrim. OS Memoirs give its locatlity and extent as 11 miles east north east of Coloraine, on the ease side of the River Bush, in the baronies of Cary and Lower Dunluce, the north and south-east quarter portion being in Cary and the centre half being in Cunluce and county of Antrim, and its north-west corner being the most, or northweserly portion of the barony of Cary, provice of Ulster. It is a vicarage, and in the diocese of Connor. It is bounded on the north by the Atlantic Ocean and on the north-east by the parish of Ballintoy; and the south-east by the parish or grange of Drumtallagh; on the south and south-west by the parish of Derrykeighan and on the north-west by the parish of Dunluce. It extends from north to south about 13 Britich miles and from east to west about 4 or 5 miles. The parish contains 17,330 British statute acres. It is divided into 65 townlands, including a glebe of 39 British statute acres, which, with a glebe house on it, is situated in the centre close to the village of Billy. We were there last summer. In the Billy church graveyard, it was covered by straw and in very bad shape, stones knocked over, etc. Jo Glass
