Does anyone have any information regarding the family of Henry & Charlotte Rainey (nee Casey) from Grange/Casheltown
I believe their son John b 12th November 1858 married a Hannah Greer. I have marriage and death certificates for both events but would like to trace the rest of family. Await any replies Borris

Hi,
A Parent search on the old IGI gives the following children for Henry and Charlotte at either Casheltown or Grange.
8 Nov 1846 Henry
1 Jun 1849 Jane
8 Aug 1850 Rosey
4 May 1853 James
1857 Male child.
These are all submitted entries so should be treated withsome caution.
Regards

Thanks Kingskerwell, for that reply. I have seen that on the IGI. Can you recommend any other rescources that I could try. I have already tried the emeraldancestors and Braid sites. Borris

Hi,
The difficulty is identifying the correct person. By putting the names into the search section of the Ulster Historical Foundation with the father's name it is possible to get the year of a possible marriage.
This allows you to find a Jane Rainey, father Henry, who married John Nicholl in Grange Presbyterian Church on 2 May 1877. Because of the church name this is a possibility. I cannot locate a marriage for Henry and the marriages for Rose (1872) and James (1888) are not local to Ballymena.
Regards

Identifying the correct person or persons has been the problem in my research. I appreciate your help and information to date. I will keep trying and maybe other Rootchat members can contribute. Many thanks Borris

Just wanted to followup. I have researched this family using DNA and have it almost all sorted out. The DNA confirms the right relationships which are not all stated correctly in the threads on this topic. Let me know ifyou want to connect on the findings

I approach family history queries often from local history sources ie townland and civil parish. I found Casheltown Road Ahoghill [civil parish ], Ballymena BT42 2PR on https://www.streetcheck.co.uk/postcode/BT42 2PR a source I haven’t used before and investigated anyway perhaps stupidly
1825 from 1823-1837 Tithes Applotment Books based upon the index work of the Irish Genealogy Hub’s listing for each parish in Northern Ireland, which are quicker to lookup if you know the parish! The relevant original books are in the Public Record Office of Northern Ireland (PRONI) Belfast
Rainey, James, Jr. Townland: Lisnafillon Year: 1825 Ahoghill Antrim
Rainey, James, Sr. Townland: Lisnafillon Year: 1825 Ahoghill Antrim
Lisnafillon townland in Ahoghill civil parish is visually mapped at https://www.townlands.ie/antrim/toome-lower/ahoghill/lisnafillon/ it’s a townland one third of the way between Ahoghill village to the west and Ballymena to the west. Lisnafillon sits along the northern side of Galgorm.
1862 Griffiths valuation the name is recorded as
Reany Samuel Antrim Ahoghill Lisnafillon map ref 13c house valued ten shillings pa
Reany Ellen Antrim Ahoghill Lisnafillon map ref 13d house valued five shillings pa
Reany Robert Antrim Ahoghill Lisnafillon map ref 15j house valued £1 five shillings pa
at this stage I paused realizing that Grange was not anywhere in the Lisnafillon in Griffiths maps
google has
The Grange, Antrim BT41 1PF that’s just above muckamore a little bit south of Antrim itself
http://www.raineygregg.com/15-grange-view-grange-ballymena-co-antrim-bt41-3uh
Grange Presbyterian Church 61 Taylorstown Rd, Toomebridge, Antrim BT41 3RW that’s Duneane civil parish the result below

Thank you BallyaltikilliganG, for this interesting info. I have looked at some of these names before but will go over them all again. Borris.

This link may help eliminate some of the possible Raineys. There were several Rainey marriages in the Hughes and McAuley descendants of my Ewing family of Coolsythe. One researcher has been documenting the Ewing families in wikitree. This link below is not the same link but another whose source I do not know.
https://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/Rainey-Descendants-1615
I suspect the William Rainey in the 1862 Griffiths list for Duneane could be the one this link refers to.

Hi Borris - have you made any progress? I'm descended from Casheltown Raineys, but they were only living there much more recently than the ones you are investigating - moved there around the 1940s. I think (though it's hard to be completely sure) mine are some of the Tannaghmore Raineys from the Griffiths Valuation records listed and possibly Moneyrod in the Tithe Apportionments.
I'm looking for a Robert Rainey, born some time around 1790-1805 as my brick wall ancestor - he could be the one at Moneyrod. Has that name come up at all in your research?

Maybe the one that died 1872 Deceased Age at Death 83

I am the biological great great grandaughter of Henry and Charlotte via their son Henry. If anyone wants more information please reply.
Thanks

Hello folks, first time on Rootschat but a longer user of Ancestry. The Hannah Greer married to John Rainey is the daughter of Elizabeth Ann Sheals and Robert Greer. Sheals/Sheilds/Shields is my connection to the family. From a fairly detailed family tree on Ancestry the following are listed as family of Henry Rainey (death 1876) and Charlotte Casey 1822-1888 - Henry (b 1846), Rose (1850) Robert (1852) James (1853) and John 1858-1946. Hope this helps. While I can't guarantee the research of the Raineys, the other information relative to my family has aligned with my own and I try to be very careful about information I see.
If any of you have come across any Sheals/Sheilds/Shields, Patrick Sheilds m Nancy Hall, both born about 1800 I would be very pleased. Their son James born about1842 left in 1863 for
Australia as did his sisters Jane, Hannah (Mackrell) and Margaret. Cheers JayJay
