Thank you so much, Kingskerswell for the father's names. I don't understand though about the place. Is Larne Civil Registrars Office in Carnmoney Presbyterian Church? Which town or village is the church located in?

Hi you will find information on they Smyth and Boyd family in various documents in the PRONI. I have been researching my ancestors in the Carnmoney area Co. Antrim, more specifically the Moore and Smyth families. For those who might be interests, I have found some good resources online. Public Records Office of Northern Ireland. PRONI has a good search facility. Public Record Office of Northern Ireland (PRONI) | nidirect
There is also a large online photo collection of county Antrim Families, taken in the late 19th early 20th century, available online at https://collections.nationalmuseumsni.org/
The photographer was William Fee Mckinney of Sentry Hill Northern Ireland. His photographs are listed under the Dundee collection.
Another source I used was genealogy noted recorded by William available at

The book Sentry Hill by Brian Walker is also a rich source of information. I hope this is useful.
