I am looking for information on Andrew McLaughlin who was married to Annie Campbell and lived in Ramoan, Ballycastle around 1890's. They had 4 children. Andrew, Daniel, Mary and Annie. Andrew senior worked as a butcher and the boys were apprentice butchers in the town
Annie Campbell - I now know that her father was called James, and that she had sisters Sarah, Isabella and I think Jane. Brothers James and Charlie. I think Annie died around 1906.
Andrew remarried Mary Hill from Ballymoney in Ballymoney in 1907. Does this ring a bell with anyone?

Annie Campbell had a sister Sarah and a brother Charlie. Unfortunately I don't know her parents names.
When Annie died around 1910 Andrew remarried. I think there may have been a family connection somewhere to Bartons also in Ballycastle. Just wondered if this rings a bell with anyone.

Thanks for this Anthony - will follow this lead

It appears this family were good Christians.
Any idea which religious presuasion they persued ?
-
Hi Uncle Christopher
You seem to have an obssession with "religious persuasion" - I have yet to find a resource where knowing this information makes a difference or assists in any way.
Perhaps you can convince me differently!
saz :-*
-
Yes my Child ???
It is one of the first questions asked by many professional genealogists.
Now go back to sleep and do not disturb the grown ups again

But why do they ask it?
I havn't found that it assists me at all - in fact sometimes it confuses the situation even more because they often changed religion to suit!
By the way uncle christopher, sarcasm isn't an attractive trait!
I will go back to bed now - having got that off my chest!
Goodnight uncle chris :P
-
My own ancestors - from Antrim - appear to have changed their religion as it suited the situation. i.e try being a Catholic and enlisting in the RUC or gaining employment in the Belfast shipyards. Even now my sister and her family in Ballycastle keep their religious beliefs to themselves. My father joined the RAF Police specifically because he was deterred from entrance to the RUC.
If you read the messages posted on the Ballycastle group site at Yahoo you will notice that Gerry specifically asks for religous information of deceased ancestors so that he can search the correct graveyard (with some successes, I might add)

You are good crack Saz so your comment about sarcasm is noted.
By the way would you mind not doing that :P in future.
I did not realise until very recently that I was related to you in any manner. 8)

Hi Mrs Teddy Bear
Still looking for you - just wondered if there is any possibility they were from some other area (possibly Scotland?)? I am having trouble with BIVRI discs tonight - will post again soon saz ;D
Hi Fin
Yep - when looking for graves makes sense although if they changed religion, as some of mine did, it would be difficult to know what to reply when asked that question - but do you think there are any other times when it would be relevant?
Thanks for your reply
saz ;D
Hi Uncle Christopher
Sorry - its obviously a family trait we share!
saz :P
-
...when trying to ascertain in which particular religious establishment your ancestors were christened/married/buried (hatched, matched or dispatched) If you know the marriage venue you stand a better chance of discovering where subsequent events related to that couple occured (births/deaths)
We share this problem, great Uncle Samuel decided to retain the Cushnaghan name when he married in a civil ceremony in Edinburgh: all his peers, that I have so far traced, married in RC Churches under the name CASSIDY. ??? Most of the family moved to Renfrewshire, Scotland, but my father's line stayed in Antrim. Da was born in Ballymoney: I was born in Ballycastle because that's where my grandparents moved to when my Da was a child
-
In reply to your last post. The family where RC. I know know that Andrew didn;t come from Ballycastle originally but was born in Ballymoney. I am sure their children were all born in Ballycastle and that Daniel their younger son ( my granfather) was born in 1897. His mother ( Annie Campbell ) died when he was young and his father re married possible around 1912 -14. Dan joined the army along with his brother Andrew who was awarded the DCM in 1916
-
In which case, dear child, enter unto the Ballycastle Group site (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ballycastle/) and try and use some gentle persuasion on Gerry to go and have a look in the boneyard for you...
...and I take it you have already ventured onto the Ballymoney ancestry site (http://www.ballymoneyancestry.com/index.asp) where there are 11-pages of McLaughlins and 23-pages of Campbells to be found?

My Dear Niece Saz :P ,
The criterion for the study of genealogy was set long before the pair of us started to take an interest in the subject. Researchers are not entering into a theological discussion when asking for details of religious persuasion they are trying to establish facts. Omitting a given set of facts in research may well lead to problems which could be solved more easily if all the facts are at hand. You may be interested in the article at this site

I think we are looking for the same family. My great aunt Annie Reynolds was married to James Campbell and lived on Fair Hill St. Ballycastle. One of their daughters married a McLaughlin, possible the Andrew you mentioned.
The 1901 & 1911 census show Daniel McLaughlin living with grandmother Annie Campbell who was then a widow. He also had a sister Annie b. 1901
Hopefully we can get in touch
-
I was born into my grandparents' home at 16 Fairhill Street :)
No use to you though, my grandparents are long deceased and they didn't move there until 1923 anyway.
-
I am also looking for Annie Campbell married to Andrew Mclaughlin. Annie Campbell McLaughlin was the daughter of Ann Reynolds (my great grand aunt) and James Campbell. They married in 1875 in the armoy church of Ireland
Would like to know the history of the 4 McLaughlin children. Daniel and Annie were raised by their widowed grandmother in Ballycastle but where did they go. Mary McLaughlin lived with her uncle James Campbell and his wife but where did she go after that.

Hi,
Don't know about children but Andrew McLaughlin married Annie Campbell in Ballycastle Roman Catholic Church, Co. Antrim. Andrew's father was Daniel.
