I am looking for information on William Robinson (Fisherman) and his wife Ellen Wilkinson or Quillian from County Antrim.  They had 2 sons that I know of Robert Robinson born 1878 and John Robinson 1880.  Both sons went to Australia,  John in 1906 and Robert in 1910 after being in New Zealand for 2 1/2 years.  Robert died aged 33 in Sydney and John in 1956.  Robert married Maude Clarke or Vaughan.  John also Maude in 1942. 21/04/09
110 Parker Marvin Watson
marvin76@aol.com 		I am looking into the marriage of Robert Parker born in Scotland and Mary Devine born in Ireland.  According to their Great-Great Granddaughter, he was born in Scotland and married an Irish woman Mary Devine.  She knows that they had twin daughters Frances and another girl born on March 21, 1852.  Robert was sent to Ireland to administer to the people of Ireland but when he married Mary his family disowned him.
They left in 1866 and supposedly landed in the United States, in Baltimore.  According to family tradition they were met in Batimore by Mary's sister, a Mrs. Devine.  I have not been able to find them in the US immigration list for Baltimore.
I have found Frances, married a second time to James Brady, in 1900, 1910, 1920 and 1930 US Census for Chenoa, McClean County, Illinois and know that she died after Frances was married the first time to a Mr. Bowman and I don't know his first name but they had two children, a daughter Ida and a son Robert.  I know that Ida married a Charles Junker, from Germany, in 1897 and she died in 1915.  She had two children, a daughter, Irma born in 1897, and a son, Carl born in 1900.
I would like to know if Robert and Mary lived in this Ballycastle area.  Was there any other children and when they died.  I would also like to know where Frances and her sister left England for the US and did they travel with anyone.		 07/04/09

103 Thompson Denise Thompson
deniset1@tpg.com.au 		I am seeking information relating to the Thompson family who may have lived in Ballycastle in the 1830s and before. For all his working life Charles Duncan Thompson was assistant astronomer to the Astronomer Royal at Dunsink Observatory in Dublin. He received a letter in 1838 from his sister Martha Thompson in Ballycastle. This is the only clue we have to the possible birthplace of Charles Duncan and his sister Martha. Charles was born about 1796. Of course both Charles and Martha may have come to Ireland from England or Scotland, and Martha may simply have been employed in Ballycastle. 07/01/09

91 Hunter Janet Hunter Foyle
applejan@nwi.ne
My grandmother, Ellen Cain Hunter (1864), was born in Ballycastle just before the family sailed for the U.S.   Her parents were William and Margaret Jameson Cain, both born in the year 1828 in the town of Ballintoy.  They must have moved to Ballycastle at the time of their marriage, for that is where the first 4 children were born (Alexander, Mary Jane, Anna and Ellen).  After arriving in the U.S. 3 other children were born (Lucinda, Margarett and William Jamison).   William was born at a farm called Blackside.  His father was William Kane (b. 1795 - d. 27 Jan 1860 and buried in a churchyard in Ballintoy).   At some time he was the lessee of the Blackside farm.   I do not know the name of my William's mother.  My William had two siblings that I know of.  One was John Kane who was born abt. 1827 and died Apr of 1893 in Knocksoughey, Co. Antrim.  The other was a sister named Mary.  Nothing known of her. 
Were there more children?  Who were the parents of my GrGrGrandfather Wm. Kane (b. circa 1795)? 
Margaret Jameson's father was Alexander Jamison (b. abt 1782 - d. 28 May 1842 in Ballintoy).  Alexander's parents were Alexander Jamieson and Ellen Black, dates unknown.  This couple had Alexander III, Peggy and Bell as children as far as I know.    Alexander (1782) also was a lessee of the Blackside farms at some point in his life.  I have copies of those leases. 
The families seem to have stayed close to the Ballintoy area with many of their gravesites at a churchyard in Ballintoy.  Would love to hear from anyone who has connections to any of these family members.

90 Huey J W Huey
jwhuey@comcast.net 		My 5th great grandfather, Wiliam Huey, whose name is said to have
originally been "Huet" which, in French, would have been pronounced
"Oo-ay", emigrated from County Antrim, I don`t know specifically
where, to Pennsylvania (the Philadelphia area) approximately 1730.
His wife, said to have been Welsh, was called either Gennet, Janet or
Jane.  That`s pretty much all I know for certain, except for his
descendants data.
Given the apparent French origin of the name, and his Protestant
Quaker faith, I suspect his family left France after the revocation of
the Edict of Nance in 1685 and, perhaps, spent some time in Lowland
Scotland ("The Auld Alliance") before becoming part of the Protestant
"plantations" in Northern Ireland.
As I approach my eighth decade my frustration level grows at hitting
such a dead end with my own surname, having had much better luck
tracing other branches of my family.   		21/03/08
89 Clarke(e) Al Clark
aclark@danvillesignal.com 		I am looking for information on Mark Clark(e), wife Jane who immigrated
to the US (Philadelphia) probably in the 1780s and before 1790
They had 2 daughters, Jane and Jenny and three sons, John, William and
Mark. The sons were born in Ireland. I think William was born in 1772.
Recently I found a yDNA match with another Clark(e) who believes his
family originated in Armoy. This suggests that we may have cousins who
still reside in the area.  We were both tested by familytreedna.com
Mark & Jane's grandchildren founded a Presbyterian church in Beaver PA.
and Mark & Jane are buried in the local Presbyterian cemetery so I think
they were probably of this faith.
If you have any information or suggestions I hold be grateful. I would
also be interested in communicating with any Clark(e)s who have family
roots in the Armoy or nearby area. Perhaps we are distant cousins		 21/03/08

ancestor left Ireland with the 3rd East Kent Regt of Foot (Buffs) in 1820 so I'm hoping to find some information on where the regiment was based at the time he joined them in case that provides an extra clue to his family
background. Any help gratefully appreciated.		 16/01/07
79 Hill family of Coolkenny, Ballycastle don and carol
 don.carol@tiscali.co.uk
Ron Sivyer
ron.sivyer@tiscali.co.uk 		I married into the Hill family of Coolkenny, Ballycastle in 1948.  Robery Hill (born 1871) married a Matilda (Tilly) Glass (born 1879) in the Church of Ireland, Ballycastle in the early 1900's I imagine, and subsequently worshipped in the Presbyterian Church at Ramoan, Moyarget where I was married to one of their daughters, Jane.  They had another daughter, Anne, and a son named John. The whole family now lie at rest in the churchyard at Ramoan Church, Moyarget.  Infront of the family grave is another family grave also bearing the name of Hill and I am sure there is a family connection.  It is particularly significant that my wifes christian name and that of my sister-in-law and brother-in-law are identical with the mother and two of her children in this other grave. I feel that my father-in-law, Robert Hill is possibly the son of John Hill who died on the 12th Nov 1900.  There must be many relatives around with possible family tree details of that union of Annie and Samuel Hill who can fill in some of the gaps for I can only go back to Robert and Matilda Hill. If you have any information I would love to hear from you. 03/01/07

49 McAlister of Glenmakerin mcalisters@paradise.net.nz I have just found a copy of a birth certificate in my husbands papers- Its a mystery! it is for Charles McAlister(316)08/07/1870. son of John mcalister of Glenmakerin and Esther(nee McLean) . Another bit of paper says this couple had Charles, John, Patrick, Esther died in 1872 in childbirth and John remarried Catherine (nee McKinley) I have no idea what this has to do with the family- there is a blank after my husbands granddad Samuel born about 1913 in England(Yorkshire) his dad might have been Francis or frank- I wasn't aware of a close Irish connection. I wonder if john and Catharine had more children or what relation the elder john has???He is down as being a farmer. Somebody was obviously interested in Patrick and Charles to enquire about them, It was done on 9th November 1973. 21/01/06

I don't know if will ever be able to prove that this is the same James in my family .

My Great Great Grandfather, James KENNEDY, was born c 1809, in Layd, Antrim, Ireland, & in 1829 enlisted with the East India Company in Liverpool & went to India in 1830 with wife Susan, children, Mary Anne Pattison, b 1831, & George Jackson b 1834, who died 1835, just days before his mother. James married again to another Susan, the widow of William ADAM, they had children, James b & d 1838, James Higginson b. 1840 & David Blake/Black b 1842. James Snr became an Uncovenanted Civil Servant in the East India Company Army, and was a Police Sergent in the Army before he was discharged, at which time the family went to Castlemaine, Victoria, Australia, c 1852, sons James & David came to New Zealand 1863, to join a Waikato Regt. in the Land Wars. James Higginson remained in NZ & David returned to Australia, became an explorer & gold prospector, was taken from New Guinea in very poor health, died & was buried at sea 1897, a year after his father had died in Castlemaine. ( I have often wondered if the children's second christian name may have been family names, )

 Kate Gooday

Kate.Gooday@evotecoai.com 

Does anybody know anything about the Magawly (various spellings used:Magawley, Magauley etc) family from Ballycastle? My great x3 grandfather, Hugh Magawly was born in Ballycastle about 1810 and moved to Burton Bradstock, Dorset, England sometime before he was married in 1836. He was a Royal Naval Coast Guard as were a number of his sons and at least one of his brothers (Samuel?). I also know there was a Patrick Magawly of Ballycastle who in 1748/9 was Master of the ship"Maidenhead" of Ballycastle, he may well have been an ancestor. Please do get in touch with me if you can help at all. I know that my great-great uncle visited Antrim in the early 1900's and found out a lot about the family by visiting churches - unfortunatley none of his research has been passed down the family and is now lost. Thankyou, Kate Gooday 04/08/2003
