Antrim Completed Look up Requests / Re: Lookup needed "Old Families of Larne and District"

What time period are you talking about for William Maxwell of Fernisky.  My particular William Maxwell was born 1819 before emmigrating with his parents Robert and Margaret (Evas) Maxwell to Ontaro about 1825.

Trying to find all graveyard information for several different Maxwell families in Killyglen, Carncastle, Kilwaughter, Larne, Tickmacrevan, Raloo, and Carrickfergus cemeteries.  Trying to piece together who belongs to which families expecially the earlier dates.

Any help would be appreciated.

Antrim / Maxwell family in Upper Glenarm Barony
« on: Friday 22 April 11 16:21 BST (UK)  »
Need help with the family of James Maxwell in Upper Glenarm Barony, parishes of Kilwaughter, Carncastle, Larne and Grange of Killyglen.

Per LDS records, James (born 16 Dec 1727) married Sarah McFarlin 11 Apr 1751 and had following children:  Jane (13 Oct 1752), William (09 Feb 1754), Rose (06 May 1755), Sara (25 May 1757), Margaret (27 Feb 1759), Samuel (05 Nov 1760), Martha (29 Sep 1762), William (24 Oct 1771).  All from Rosemary St Church, Belfast.

He also married Margaret Johnston  19 Aug 1788, Rosemary St. Church, Belfast.  They had children John (abt 1799), James (abt 1803), Charles (abt 1805), Hamilton (age 1812), and Elizabeth (abt 1814) [Per tombstone information and will of John Maxwell]

James had a brother William (18 Jun 1730).  Their father was Arthur.  James died Oct 1810 and is buried in Carncastle Church of Ireland Cemetery.

I found a lease of land in Grange of Killyglen 1779 with the 6th Earl of Antrim, Randal William to James Maxwell who also lists his three sons, Samuel, William, and Robert.

The next information I found in in the Hearth Money Rolls:  Samuel, Ballykeel, Kilwaughter Parish and Robert, Killyglen, Grange of Killyglen

I then found these families in the 1851 census, but I don't know where they all fit.  Can anyone help?

Arthur and Mary Maxwell, Druminadonaghy, Kilwaughter Parish
John and Jane Maxwell, Ballytober, Carncastle Parish
William and Jane Maxwell, Ballygalley, Carncastle Parish
Joseph and Ann Maxwell, Killyglen, Grange of Killyglen Parish
Mary (Maxwell) and Andrew McNeill, Killyglen, Grange of Killyglen Parish
Jane Maxwell, Larne, Larne Parish
Sally Maxwell, Droagh, Carncastle Parish
Robert Maxwell, Droagh, Carncastle Parish
Other sources:
William and Jennifer (Legg) Maxwell, married Larne
Robert and Margaret (Evans) Maxwell
Catherine (1 Mar 1865) to William and Jessie (Adam) Maxwell in Larne
Louisa (4 Jan 1864) to Richard and Margaret (Cowdy) in Larne

I can't find birth/marriage records for those in 1851 census.  This is a big brick wall that I have hit.  Don't know if they are all related or not.

Hugh and Catherine (Skelley) Maxwell's children were:
Hugh, Jane, Adam, Jane, Elizabeth Ann, Arthur, John, Catherine, Richard and William.

His parents were Arthur and Mary Maxwell.  Their children were:  Robert, John, James, Arthur, Hugh, Mary, Agnes, Adam, and Matilda.  They were listed in the 1851 census for Druminadonaghy, Kilwaughter Parish.  I don't know where Robert was in 1851, but found his Birth/Baptism record of 10/20/1822 in Carrickfergus Parish along with the other children.

Antrim / Re: 12th July and Orange Lodges - Help offered
« on: Wednesday 20 April 11 22:39 BST (UK)  »
I would like to take you up on your offer if it's still there.

My ancestor Robert Maxwell, born abt 1796 left Ireland with wife and sons William, born 28 Feb 1819 and James, born abt 1823.  William was an orangeman in Canada and in Michigan when the family came here.  I'm assuming that Robert would have been as well.  The area should have been Carncastle, Kilwaughter, Grange of Killyglen or Larne Parishes.  Sorry I don't have any additional information.

Whatever help you can give me would be appreciated.

Hugh Maxwell's parents were Arthur and Mary Maxwell, listed in the 1851 census for Druminadonaghy, Kilwaughter Parish.  Children:  Robert, John, James, Arthur, Hugh, Mary, Agnes, Adam, and Matilda.  James married Sarah Magill whose son is Charles who married Margaret McRandal.

I don't know where my Robert Maxwell who married Margaret Evans fit in, so I've been researching all Maxwell's from Kilwaughter, Carncastle, Grange of Killyglen, and Larne.

I would really like to know what gravestone inscriptions you have found.

Hi, I have also been researching the Maxwell's from Larne, as well as Kilwaughter, Carncastle, and Grange of Killyglen.  I have this record:

28/06/1858 LARNE 2ND Presbyterian
JAMES MAXWELL, BALLYBOLEY, son of JOSEPH MAXWELL, to MARTHA MCKANE, KILWAUGHTER, daughter of WILLIAM MCKANE
Witnessed: MARGARET HOOD, MARY REA   


Is Mary Rea part of who you are looking for?
