Hi Kaz
Just new to this site and trying to find my way. Can you give me directions to Ramoan Cemetery? Can I get to it by public transport? I don't mind a walk I like walking. Nice to know offers of help are there. Went into chat room yesterday and bit lost. Hopefully I will get the hang of it.

Hi Kaz,
Thanks for the offer.
Was wondering, if and when you have the time, if you could look for my family - just outside of Ballycastle. There is a McKIERNAN/McKERNAN plot in the cemetery at St. Patrick's RC Church, Culfeightrin Parish, in Ballyvoy. Would really appreciate it if you could help me out as I am not able to travel from the US. A few years ago, I also tried writing to the church asking if they might be able to check their records, but I never got a response despite sending an International Reply Coupon. I presume they are short staffed and cannot do lookups of this sort. I have been told the records I need were not allowed to be recorded by the LDS, so I cannot obtain access to them in the US.
Anything you could find would be greatfully appreciated. Thank you ever so much.

Thanks for offer but I would like to go, see around Ballycastle/Rathlin. Some years since I have been there. I will be travelling from Belfast. Hope to go mid of September, so if I can help you or anyone else when I am there please let me know.

Hello Mairec,
Have you come across any McCAWS from Holywood? My gg aunt Sarah Anne FRAZER b1843 m1863 William John McCAW, children Elizabeth (1865),Agnes (1867), Thomas Henry (1869). There were McCAWS still in Holywood in the early 20th century- they signed the Covenant.
Any possible connections?
Regards

Denis Carmichael (McMichael) and wife Nancy Kean, both believed to have died before 1880.
I have daughter Ann born between 1828-1832 in Ramoan but she married in 1852 in Rothesay, Bute so the family parents included may have moved out.

Hi Kaz
When you have the time would you please look at the C of I Churchyard (I think it's St Patrick's) at Armoy for D'EVELYN gravestones. (I have heard there is at least one there but it is hard to get info from the other side of the world.)
John William D'EVELYN was Rector of Armoy from about 1850 to 1894 when he died. He had a wife and several children some of whom were buried there also, however I have no information about them.
Any information you can find from the gravestone would be very much appreciated.
Thank you
Sandie

Concert at Mosside in Belfast Newsletter 1 Feb.1894 mentions Rev. D'Evelyn and the Misses D'Evelyn.
Reopening service Armoy Parish Church in Belfast Newsletter 20 June 1894 mentions brass tablet in memory of late Rev. D'Evelyn.

Thanks so much for your very helpful information. You have filled in some gaps for me. Fancy a clergyman having so much money! (One of his sons came to Qld and ran a sheep station out west!)
