Hi Mudrick,
The York and Yorkes in Co Antrim Griffiths valuation list say 1860 ish
http://griffiths.askaboutireland.ie/gv4/gv include
York  Edward  Andraid  Antrim  Drummaul       
York  James  Galboly, Lower  Antrim  Ardclinis       
York  John  Coates' Street  Antrim  Shankill
Yorke  Patrick  Ballyeaston  Antrim  Ballycor       
Yorke  Robert  Ballygallagh  Antrim  Ballylinny       
York  William  Broughshane Street  Antrim  Kirkinriola 
the important  part of this website is you have a map showing the exact area of the household which can be fun
If you dont know the area around Ballyclare, my starting point would be PRONI, then geographical locations, then civil parish or townland or both.
Good luck its already arriving with the good replies you have had so far
Jim
