Antrim / Re: John and Jane Neill
« on: Thursday 20 January 11 04:13 GMT (UK)  »
The Neill/Mc Connell land is at Sleivenacloy townland. If you have Google Earth the nearest I can give you at this very moment is the Flowbog Road. I have a very early maps (1780 ish) of this land and have traced ownership through Neill, Mc Connell and lastly the Water Commisioners.

Interestingly the old field margins remain visable on GE which now now has a new detailed image and panoramic photos, In street view, taken along the road. I have attached 2 images that may help.

I will discuss the family side off site.

I will dig out the map for you. BTW the Niell land is detained in Griffiths Valuation.

All the best

I recollect seeing the Evans name, perhaps married to a daughter of Richard Scott Ballymacward. They lived at the Brown Moss.

My GGG Grandmother married James Neill on 6 March 1861 at Derriaghy Church. James farmed at Sleivenacloy. The farm subsequently passed to Mc Connell family ownership.

I have not been able to trace James. Perhaps he emigrated to Belfast or farther afield.

The girls name, my GGGM was Dorthea Lackey.
