Hello, I am trying to find out
information on Charles Kane of Novally, Ballycastle. I think he was born
around mid 1800's and was a member of Ramoan Presbyterian Church.I think his
middle name was Andrew but I am unsure. His first wife died in child-birth
and was called Rosetta Todd. He remarried a lady whose surname was Donaghy,
(I am unsure of the spelling) |

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.

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. |

Clarke(e) |
Al Clark

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 |

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. |

Hill family of Coolkenny, Ballycastle |
don and carol

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. |

Hello. I am searching for information
on the McAuley families of Glenshesk, Ballycastle, County Antrim. My
great grandmother was Annie McAuley daughter of Nancy Clark and George
McAuley. I believe that she was born in December of 1850 and came to
America as an indentured servant around 1870 with her sister Mary (or
Margaret) and brother-in-law James (or John) McAuley of Balleycastle. I
would love to know more about this part of my family. All I know is that
they landed in New York. My grandmother's debt was paid for by a man
named Charles St. Clair of Red River County, Texas in exchange for
marriage. She had three children by Mr. St. Clair and lost two of them
in infancy. He was killed and she married my great grandfather George W.
Forrest. They had three chidren, two sons and my grandmother Christine
all who remained in Texas. Any information would be appreciated! Thank

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

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.

KENNEDY |
Merril Bourne
m.bourne@ihug.co.nz |
This is what I know of my line & although
I don't know the parents of James I have learnt that there was a James
Kennedy born 7th April 1809 at Knocknacully, Layd Parish, County Antrim, son
of David Kennedy and Peggy McGennell. 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, ) |

My father is David Robert Woodside. Below
is some of the information I have found:
My father's father was: Samuel Fraiser Woodside. His brother's were: William
Woodside (killed in Philadelphia, working construction, fell from building);
Alexander Woodside (killed in Alaska by his gold mine partner); Robert
Woodside (killed in Philadelphia while trying to stop runaway horses/wagon).
Obviously Philadelphia was not a lucky town for the Woodside brothers.My
grandfather's sisters were: Maggie Woodside McGee (not sure of spelling
here); Margaret Woodside (remained unmarried, her mailing address was,
Carnduff, Glens of Antrim, Ballycastle, Ireland); and Mary Woodside Moore
(again, not sure if Moore is spelled correctly).My father was the first
generation born in this country. He and my mother live here in Colorado
Springs, Colorado USA.Thank you for including us on your website - I have my
fingers crossed for some news on relatives. |

Can anyone help fill in he gaps of family

and had a tea and bread shop in Castle Street. Willie was rumoured to have
gone to Canada and got killed around 1936. Does anyone know any facts about

rumour that she was inclined to a gentleman by the Name of Hugh McShafery
who lived at Novally. Does anyone know of him?? By all account injured in

knows anything about the family I would really appreciate hearing from them.

Hi , my name is Margaret an i live in N. Y. state USA .
My g. grandparents were married in Ballycastle Parish Church in 1869. They
had 4 kids. One was my granddad who came to N.Y. state in 1893. As you can
guess , i am searching for any info. i can find on them.
Deaths - where they might be buried - when they died. Could there be any
living lineage still over there in Ireland. Im sure there is. List of names
follows:
gg. grandfather Denis McFall (b) abt. 1800 g. grandad Edward McFall ( marr.)
Ann White in 1869 Ballycastle Parish Church their kids Denis (b) 1870 Edward
(b) 1872 Hugh (b) 1874 Daugh. Mary Jane ( b ) 1877 & Denis had 2 other
children besides Edward that I know of :
Nancy McFall marr. Daniel McClean in 1854 in Glenstaghey , Co. Antrim
Denis Jr. marr. Catherine McCaw in 1861 in Glenstaghey , Co. Antrim Ire.
this I'm afraid is all I have on my family's roots. If any of these ---
SURNAMES --- ring a bell or sound familiar drop me a line.

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 |
