I am searching for any information on the Peacocks of Ballymoney and surrounding areas. I am aware there are around 4 separate families but all seem to descend from Chestnut Peacock (1720 - 1800) who is buried in Roseyard cemetary along with some of his family. He had 2 sons that I am aware of, John b 1762 and Thomas b 1768 but there are other children who I have not found.
I have a William Peacock b 1834 and died in 1866 in Ballymoney but I cannot find a connection anywhere. He married Rose McCrank in 1863 and had 2 sons James and William.
Can anyone help me here?

Hi,
I cannot help with your connection but I have a record of a marriage between William Peacock and Rose McCRAUK in Ballymoney Registrars Office on 22 Jan 1863.
Regards

Many thanks for the reply, I also have the record but unfortunately it doesn't give his parent's names.

Thomas Peacock, Roseyards, married Ann Richard. Daughter Mary Peacock m.(1838 Armoy Presbyterian Church) John Knox. Their son Samuel Peacock (1798-1875) married Elizabeth Knox (1802-1891)- sister of John Knox.
A Samuel Peacock, son of William, died 4 Jan.1864 at Highland Row, Coleraine.
Sarah Peacock, 2nd daughter of James Peacock of Kirkistown, married 5 Feb.1850 Ballyrashane 2nd Presbyterian Church to Thomas Anderson of Articrunnagh.

Thank you but I don't think these are connected to my William Peacock.
-
Would think that at least the first one (Thomas Peacock) is related to Chestnut Peacock.
-
Yes he was his son. But I cannot find the connection between my William Peacock born 1834 and this family, although I am sure there is one somewhere.

Bumping an old thread, but I was contacted by someone interested in a Chestnut Peacock born in Ballymoney c. 1876:

Unfortunately, I couldn't find his parents and connect him back to the wider Peacock family of Ballymoney:

So I just thought I'd throw this in here as part of the jigsaw.

A son (James?) born 9 Jan.1864 and a son William born 10 Dec.1865.
Rose Peacock married 2 June 1877 Ballymoney district to Archibald McQuilkin.
Daughter Agnes born 1 Apr.1878 (mother McCrankie)- lived Townhead and Archibald was a nailor.

Wonder if this is Rose McQuilkin? (think Archibald McQuilkin was married 1st in 1862 and had children when he married Rose in 1877)

Thanks for the quick, and very helpful, reply.
I thought I'd checked there and found nothing. In fact, I rechecked and drew a blank:

https://churchrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/search.jsp?namefm=chestnut&namel=peacock
So that was a real help, otherwise I'd have missed it completely (again).
