Hugh, Thank you for the reply! Would you mind telling me where Newry and Drumbo are located, hopefully they are near Co. Antrim where Robert said he was born. Do you happen to know where the Burnside name was found in Antrim? I keep thinking someone may have done research before 1922 and their material is deposited somewhere. I am coming there in the summer and a kind person from another list has offered to help me look at PRONI. I am trying to collect every tiny bit I can before I get there. Upon rereading my original email I see I made a hugh mistake - my Robert reported on his naturlization papers he was born in Co. Antrim and 2 of his sons said they were born in Co. Down. I apologize for the mistake. I had one eye dilated this morning and I can barely see straight.

I think you need to buy a good map of N.Ireland, Bartholo,ews for example. This will give details of all six counties. Google will help by giving you the nearest town. I went through all Griffith's Valuations for Co. Antrim 1861-2 to find every Burnside listed. To go further back you would have to go through the Tithe Aplotments for each place I have listed to get information for the early 1830's. Any Mormon library could get them. GRIFFITH"S VALUATIONS COUNTY ANTRIM 1861-2 Parishes and townlands Burnside listings. Ballymoney, Alex., Seacon Lower James, Drumnahisky Drumnamaul, Hugh, Groggan Ballyscullion, James, Taylorstown Loughguile, William, Ballybreagagh Belfast/Shankill, James, Dock Townparks, George's St. John, Smithfield T.P., Boundary St. Robert, St. George's T.P., Baker St. The Belfast Burnsides may have migrated there from some other Co. Antrim Parish. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Linda Holley" <ljholley@comcast.net> To: <nir-down@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, January 11, 2008 1:56 PM Subject: Re: [NIR-DOWN] Burnside FAMILY > Hugh, > > Thank you for the reply!
