I am attempting to trace the family of William McIntyre c 1842 and his wife Nancy (nee Calvin) known as Jean from the Churchlands area of Coleraine. They had a son William James who emigrated to America in 1906 and married an Edith Watts. They feature in the 1901 and 1911 census but I would like to make contact with some of their descendants .

As has been mentioned before, Rootschat isn't a forum for tracing living people and we can't post such details here but sometimes relatives do spot posts and get in touch.
Meanwhile, here are links to the census records you mentioned-

Children (7 listed in 1911- all living at the time)-
1. Jane Miller McIntyre (1 June 1877) https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/FGV6-BYG

William McIntyre died 1925- "McIntyre William of Burnside Churchlands Coleraine county Londonderry old age pensioner died 30 March 1925 Probate Londonderry 23 June to Hugh Logan retired breadserver and Jane McIntyre spinster. Effects £22." Might be family details in PRONI files.

Thank you Aghadowey, I assume the family/search records have been submitted, so there is a possibility of someone out there having more detail.
-
Not sure what you mean by submitted?
Added- if you mean the LDS records- they are from the extracted Irish births collection (submitted files such as PRF are now separate on LDS site)
-
Accept my naivety Aghadowey, I had assumed that some information was submitted to LDS by individuals which may be inaccurate and perhaps not based on official or church records etc which are extracted from secure sources. Also I am not familiar with the term PRF.

LDS used to lump extracted and submitted details into their database and it wasn't always easy to tell them from each other. Now, however, the 2 catagories are separate. There are mistakes in the extracted records, sometimes to do with handwriting but one of the worst Irish messes is a whole set of estracted records that give location as something like "Cork, Ballymoney, Antrim, Ireland" (can't remember exact wording) but are actually from Ballymoney, Co. Antrim!
PRF = Pedigree Resource File (submitted).

I have researched many Calvin lines from County Derry to America, among them the line of John Calvin of Ballyrashane whose daughter Nancy married William McIntyre. Their son William James McIntyre married Edith Watts and they had a daughter Edith Emily McIntyre who married Glenn Nelson. All of the last four named are buried in Cold Spring Cemetery in the Calvin plot.
Perhaps you have already communicated with my distant cousin Norman who lives in Northern Ireland: he might have sent you the genealogy I constructed for this line.
