Where have you searched so far?
1911 Census is online (free- and 1901 should soon be added)-
www.census.nationalarchives.ie/search
IGI (International Genealogical Index at www.familysearch.org) has many, not all, Irish births 1864-c1882.
Several children of James Magill and Mary Agnew are listed-
Daniel born 1 July 1866 Larne district (page 627 in civil register)
Agnes born 23 Nov.1867 Co.Antrim
James born 2 Feb.1870 Co.Antrim
Thomas born 11 Apr.1871 Co.Antrim
Ann Eliza born 26 Aug.1872 Larne district.
Elizabeth born 30 Jan.1874 Ireland
There are lots of other online sources we can probably suggest once we have more details about what you are looking for.

There are two Thomas Magill born in 1868 Larne volume 6 page 735 or volume 16 page 582, could be one of these.

Hello
I am new, not sure I am posting correctly. Actually, before I became a member today, I was doing some research & discovered this site on the internet with posts regarding the Magills in my subject line.
How do I search these posts for a reply?
Thanks very much :)

Welcome to Rootschat. I've merged your post with the existing Magill thread.

Thankyou, very grateful to have my post merged correctly.
I am the gr gr gr granddaughter of this James MAGILL b. 1840 & Mary AGNEW b. 1840. I recently obtained some more info regarding two of their children: Thomas Joseph MAGILL & Elizabeth MAGILL. If you are interested I could forward you this information. As well, I have a question, It seems there two sets of James MAGILL's & Mary AGNEW's came from different brother & sister parents in roughly the same time period which makes this difficult to sort out.
The James MAGILL, that I am currently researching had a son, James b. Feb 2, 1870, Antrim, Ireland. He m. Sarah Weatherall b. Oct 12, 1859? Ireland. I cannot remember where I got this info, but it doesn't seem correct. I don't have a marriage date for this pair, if it could be researched & the date of Sarah's birth & her parents names researched, I'd be most grateful.
Thank you :)

Cbesh,
6 Oct 1880 James Magill, father James, married Sarah Ann Wetheral (sic), father Stewart, in Shankill Church of Ireland, Lurgan. Seems to be an incorrect age or an incorrect marriage.
Regards
-
Very excited to see & hear anything of this branch, thank you.
I am assuming (sic) means not sure of spelling. Sarah's father's first name is Stewart?
The info I had for James MAGILL was that he was born Feb 2, 1870, so the marriage date 1880 would put James at 10. Something isn't adding up. I see I have further research...
Thx again & regards.

Cbesh,
"sic" indicates how the name was spelt in my record. Yes, Sarah's father was Stewart and to support her 1860 birth I have found a marriage of Stewart Wetheral, father James, to Eliza Brown, father Richard, in Shankill Church of Ireland, Lurgan in 1853. The IGI list other children through the 1860s into the 1870s but nothing before 1864, the official start of Civil Registration of births.
Regards

Thank you very much.
Do you know how/where I could obtain a document/info re a marriage certificate for Sarah & James MAGILL? I am trying to confirm James's father's name as also James. Several people keep telling me that the James I am researching, never married. Does anyone know if this James's father could have been William?
Regards
-
Hi,
In message#8 I confirmed that James Magill who married Sarah Wetheral had a father called James Magill.
Regards

Magill - Antrim/ Carncastle
I do not know at present if my Magills are related to the Magills from Kilwaughter. The one of interest is a James Magill from Corkermain Carncastle who married Margaret Rogers from Larne on 7 June 1883. His father Robert Magill, her father William Rodgers. Witness to marriage were James Moore and Mary Hood she I think is a cousin or a relative because I think James Magills mother was Margaret Hood but have not confirmed it yet. I am told that there is a connection to Hoods with the Magills living in Carncastle. The 1901 census if correct family were living at Ballygally Carncastle. Can anyone help me with further info. regards Heather

Reading Felix Mckillops history of the Magills of Carncastle might help... or not...because there were alot of families of that name living in Carncastle and yet they weren't related. However he does a good job of explaining who is who as far as one can. Good luck in your search
