Down / Re: Blakely/Bleakley in Newtownards

Hi, my great grandfather, James Robinson emigrated to Boston 1889 and lived in Chelsea with his wife, and his father in law, William Gilmore.  In the census of 1900, he also had three boarders-  a James Blakeley, who was born in 1886 and immigration was in 1889.  My grandfather came from Holestone, Antrim Ireland.  I wonder if this blakeley could be related to his wife, Mary Margaret Gilmore Robinson.

Antrim / Re: Robinson buried near the Old Ballynure Graveyard

Hi,
   I am looking for any information regarding a Robinson family from Rashhee in the 1860's.  My 2nd great grandfather was Archibald Robinson, a farmer from Rashee in the early 1860's, and his father was listed as a Thomas Robinson. My Archibald married a Jane Kielty in 1861 at May Street Presbyterian Church in Belfast.  They had at least 5 children from this marriage, and one of whom, my great-grandfather, James(b.1863) listed Holestone as his place of birth.  I believe that Archibald had several siblings himself, and that Thomas was also a farmer from Rashee as well.
I think some of these Robinsons could be buried in the Old Rashee graveyard, as I have reason to believe that there is a Samuel Robinson buried there that could possibly be the son of Archibald Robinson.

Hi, jwagh
  I am doing the Robinson genealogy and was very interested in the book about Ballyeaston Presbyterian.  My great gtandfather, James Robinson, was born in Holestone in 1863, to Archibald Robinson and Jane Kielty.  They had another son, Samuel Robinson, born on 18 September, 1869, a daughter, Margaret, born 26 May1872, and a daughter, Jane, born 22 July, 1874.
  Archibald Robinson and Jane Kielty were married in May Street Presbyterian Church on May 31, 1861, and their witnesses were James Beggs and Jane Todd.  Archibald's fathere was Thomas Robinson, a farmer from Rashee.
  James immigrated to Boston in 1889, but, I believe that his brother, Samuel had a farm in Rashee at that time, and his sister, Margaret, married a Robert Erskine.
  Ballyeaston would have been a logical choice for church, I believe, so, if any of this sounds familiar, I would so appreciate the help.
                  Thanks, Antrim777
