Title: Paul Harper
Post by: cmartyn on Monday 20 November 23 05:34 GMT (UK)

Searching for the parents of Paul Harper born 1775 in Templepatrick, County Antrim.  Paul married Ann Weaver in approx. 1800 and they had 4 to 7 children.  Paul died on January 19th, 1837 in Killnakkee, Templepatrick.

It is possible his father was Andrew or Peter and mother Nancy or Agnes but we have been unable to find any information.

Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

Hi, there is a Samuel, two James and two Sarah Harpers buried in Templepatrick graveyard.  I can get photos of the headstones at some stage.  Hope this helps.

Does the OP mean Kilmakee in Templepatrick civil parish?

Yes Kilmakee is the townland and is mentioned in a few of the headstones in the Old Templepatrick graveyard.  However, there is a Church of Ireland graveyard in Templepatrick also.  The Harpers are buried in the Old Presbyterian one.
