this is a technical question:  throughout these postings it is mentioned "1st Kilrea," or
" 2nd Kilrea".  what does this refer to?
If they are church records, what is the church?
I noticed in many of the census that someone posted many of the McIlfatricks
were Presbyterian.  Was this common in that area of Kilrea?  I assumed that
much of Ireland was catholic.

I have copies of both Mary's and annie's marriage records.  Mary was married in 1894, Annie in
1889. They were both married in Windsor Ontario Canada.  Both records show parents of the sisters were Hugh and Jane McIlfatrick.  annie always said she was born in Kilrea, but that her family had come over from Scotland. That's what led me to check census for Ayrshire Scotland and find Hugh. She never indicated she had brothers or sisters  but that doesn't mean she didn't have them.

In all the US census info there is no middle letter or name for either Mary or Annie.  I found an
Annie on a ship register leaving from Glascow, (1886) but never found where Mary emigrated from, just the date 1882 when she was in Detroit MI.  It could be she had a baby, and left town.  Don't know
anything about a brother John either.  Annie was my husband's grandmother, and didn't choose to share much of her history.  She and Mary both worked as domestics in Detroit when they first came to US.  I haven't been able to verify any birth records in Ireland or Scotland for her or Mary, just trying
to put some pieces of the puzzle together.  thanks for the above information. The more pieces
the better.

McIlfatrick information that I have:  Annie McIlfatrick born Kilrea Ireland 1868, sister Mary born
1862. Never found any birth records for either. Both sisters emigrated to Canada, then US in 1885 (Annie) and 1882 (Mary). Each married in Windsor Ontario Canada (four years apart) and each listed parents as Hugh and Jane McIlfatrick. On Annie's death certificate her maiden name is listed as Miller. Unconfirmed that the family came from Scotland to Ireland. When checking Scotland records I found a 1851 census from Maypole, Ayrshire with parents John and Helen McIlfatrick, with children James 31, Jane 18, Mary Ann 16, Hugh 14, Sarah 11, William John 9.  Age is right for this Hugh to be Mary and Annie's parent. 
   Census in Detroit for Mary just lists one child to Dougal McMillan, Anabella born about 1895.
Don't know anything about a Samuel.  Annie never spoke much of her family, but gave impression
family was not impoverished in Ireland/Scotland.  thanks for all the previous information.
I am still digesting it, as I haven't been on the site for quite awhile.

To Aghadowey, thanks for the website.  I checked all those
areas, for any McIlfactricks, various dates, events, spellings and was
not able to get any results.  SJB

To Aghadowey,  The only birth/marriage information I have been
able to locate is from LDS, and there aren't many listings in Kilrea
for McIlfactrick, none relevant.  Where else can I look for birth
registrations?  Thanks for your interest. SJB

I am basically looking for birth information for Annie and/or
Mary McIlfactrick, believing they were born in Kilrea area,
parents are Hugh and Jane McIlfactrick, don't know if there
are brothers and sisters.  None of the McIlfactrick info from
Kilrea matches these names or dates. (Annie born 1868, Mary 1862)
Both sisters came to U.S. and used the name McIlfactrick, not
Kilpatrick, altho maybe in Kilrea they were listed as Kilpatrick and
that's why I can't find them. SJB

Thanks for the imput.  Interesting to note from 1851 census all
were born in Ireland. sounds like they may have gone back and
forth.  I found McIlfactricks in Kilrea Ireland, where I think my person
was born, but none of the names/dates match up.  Thanks for
checking. I'll keep searching. SJB

Ayrshire / Looking for McIlfactricks
« on: Tuesday 22 February 11 15:19 GMT (UK)  »
I located a family of McIlfactricks in 1841 census in Ayrshire, then they
seemed to have vanished.  I thought Ireland, but no record
of them there.  Father John, wife Helen, several children, but
I am looking mainly for "Hugh McIlfactrick" who later married
a Jane Miller, and at some point was in Ireland around 1860-70,
but not on any census there. Any information would be appreciated. 
Thanks. SJB
