Liscolman County Antrim is in Dervock district outside Ballymoney. You could try posting a query on Ballymoney Ancestry site.

Zander,
If you find this Glenvarlock Street Robert Brennan is yours, let me know as I have a lot of information on the Brennans of this part of the Castlereagh Road/Beersbridge Road. Their ancestors were Co Antrim but not as far north as Dervock- Whitehead, Ballycarry, Islandmagee so this may be a coincidence.
Good luck,

hi there platespinner
does any of the children's name's match any of your's
i was told that the brennan's i am after may have come from the lisburn area yet to be confirmed.all i know that they arrived early 1800's in dervock mosside area but from where also i only have i possible son so they may have moved away from the rest of there family.

These names do indeed come up:
James b. 1919
Elizabeth b. 1912
George b. 1921
These are clearly not the same three people as yours but they might well be cousins. Their father was James Brennan married to Annie (U)pritchard from Aghalee Co. Antrim, not far from lisburn so this is another similarity. Are you on Genes Reunited? if you are, I'll open my tree there and you can have a look for more info.
Have you checked out linen mills in Dervock? I know my Brennans moved to Belfast from Whitehead or Carrickfergus because of a move from one mill to another in Mashona Street (now gone but perpendicular to Lecumphre Street and Woodlee Street).
-
many thank's for your reply.
the brennan's i have worked in liscolman mill
also info i have is a james brennan married a matilda mcnaul on 26th aug 1868 in ballymoney reg's office his father is down as a thomas brannen so you see the spelling change's a little.this is as far back as i have got.
and yes i am on Genes Reunited.
