Hello all, Happy New Year! I am trying to find my Lindsey's and where they came from in Ireland. I hear Northern Ireland is a good place to start. My line John Lindsey Jr. born Dec. 1827 came over through Liverpool July 1849 on the ship Peninsular and landed in New York. His father John Lindsey born 1799 age 50 came over in 1850 on the Ship Anna Tift and landed in New York. Other son Joseph Lindsey came over in July 1851 on the Henry Clay and landed in New York. Now wife of John Sr., Mary Lindsey also born 1799 was sometime after 1850 with the grandson James Mackey born 1844. This boy was son of Jane Lindsey and Robert Mackey. I don't believe the parents made it over. Does anyone have a way of checking Presbyterian Church records in County Derry which may help me? Thank you Lindsey

Lindsey What research of USA records have you done? This maybe your best chance to find out where in the UK they came from. If you know when John Sr died you may be able to find an Newspaper account of this death giving "some" family history. Just remember the place it gives, if in Ireland, could be a Townland rather than an town. I doubt if the US 1850 or 1860 Census will help you for an Location as it may just give you Ireland and not at a County level or twon.
