I am planning a family history trip to Ireland next year and would love to make contact with anyone with links to Bannister Quigley born abt 1783 in County Antrim, died 1866 Ballycessy,Glenavy. He married Jane Bell in 1828. They had several children including my grandfather David Bannister( aka Daniel) born 1848 in Ballycessy, who came to Australia in the late 1800's. I am planning to visit St Aidan's Church Glenavy,where many of the children were baptised and Bannister and Jane are buried. Any other ideas of buildings from that time that may still be standing would be greatly appreciated.Also if there is anywhere in the County which may hold old photographs?
Many thanks

Hi
I cannot help with local knowledge but it is my understanding that Glenavy is full of Quigley burials. My gt grandfather had two brothers who both married Quigley sisters from Glenavy. The oldest brother William Lynn Graham married Issamena Quigley in 1884 and James Graham married Louisa Jane Quigley in 1891. I think at least one of these wives was also buried at Glenavy according to her granddaughter, whereas her husband was I think buried at Templepatrick.
Anyway these sisters were daughters of James Quigley (1827-1903) and Matilda Thompson. James was in turn the son of Henry Quigley (1791-1844) and Ann Sloan. The following Glenavy inscription is from a public tree in Ancestry containing these Quigleys.
Erected by Ann Quigley in memory of her beloverd husband Henry Quigley who dies 5th June 1844 aged 53 years their son Henry died 30th August 1850 aged 10.
Also their Grand-children Henry died 6th october 1858 Aged 1 year
Ann died 10th September 1863 aged 6 years
Ann and Margaret Peel who died in infancy.
Isamenia Peel who died in her 60th year also the above named Ann Quigley who died 26th April 1895 aged 90 years.
Also James Quigley died in his 78th year,
Also Grandson of the erector James McCracken who was accidentally drowned in Belfast Lough 13th July 1912 aged 30 to the inexpressible grief of his devoted mother Louisa McCracken (nee Quigley)
also his brother and sister Mary and Willie who died when young.
Also their dear mother Louisa McCracken died 30th December 1920.
Matilda Quigley died 13th April 1914 aged 89
William McCracken died 14th May 1933 aged 84 years.

I should also say that if this Quigley family links up to yours it would probably be at the level of Henry Quigleys parents: Henry Quigley 1748-1828 and Agnes Matthews, or grandparents Edward Quigley (1720-1802) and Mary Sloane.

Hello Linda,
Many thanks for your reply and the information you provided. Yes, with your information, and that from my own research,I believe that Henry Quigley (1791-1844) is a brother of my great grandfather, Bannister Quigley (1783-1866). I knew that their father's name was Edward but did not have dates or the name of Edward's wife, so thank you. Bannister's son David( also known as Daniel) is my grandfather who emigrated to Australia in the late 1800's.
I am more than happy to take photos of any relevant headstones, if they have survived, that I find on my trip next year and forward them to you if you would like.I would dearly love to find some old photos. I had never met my grandfather Daniel, so am looking forward to visiting his birthplace.
Please feel free to keep in touch. My email is (*)
Kind regards,
Deborah Simpson

Hi Debora,
I don't remember how many posts you need to have before you can use the PM system but you probably do not have enough, so I will send you a message.
I do not have all the earlier generations of Quigleys on my tree as I usually do not do more than note the parents of spouses, unless I suspect there is another link in earlier generations. Such as in your case the Sloane marriages a couple of generations apart. I took the info from the tree of Una Bobby, who I have corresponded with occasionally. Una has my Grahams in her tree but only named the direct Quigley ancestors from her family so your Bannister was not included. There were other trees that I didn't look at.
Re my family, if you happen across these 3 people then I would love to have a photo of their tombstones
Issamenia Graham nee Quigleyt lived to be 99 years old so presumably died in 1963. Her granddaughter Lilly Graham (dau of James) was with her when she died. Lilly wrote that Issamenia is buried at Glenavy, where the Quigley family lived, as were her sons William & Lester Graham. (Lester is aka Alexander).
Cheers

I believe there was a fire at St Aidan's. Some church records survived. They are on microfilm at PRONI WHICH Is NOW LOCATED AT THE Titanic quarter in Belfast, I think.
Could you possibly look out for the following grave too - Think they were buried in Crew Glenavy though - Thomas Peel b1762 died 1846 & wife Catherine (nee Allen) b1765
Edward Peel born 1675
Thomas Peele born c1650
Lol!!!! ;D ;D ;D Well you never know!!!!

St Aidan's has very comprehensive records back to 1707 all microfilmed at PRONI. This church covered the CoI parishes of Glenavy, Camlin and Tullyrusk until the building of St John's, Crumlin in the early C20th.

Thank you akanex2, looks like I will need to allow for some time at PRONI.:)

Hi, I am also descended from this family, my direct descendants are Charles Quigley (1753) and Jane Higgson (1755). Charles is the son of Edward Quigley and Mary Sloane. I am trying to trace my family tree and this is as far back as I have managed to get. I have had some suggestions from other sites as to other ancestors on the Sloane line, but nothing confirmed. I would be grateful if anyone had any information from further back before Charles and Mary.
