Antrim / Re: Hill family of Larne, Hillmount and Ballymena
« on: Friday 15 September 23 01:09 BST (UK) »
It is some years since you first posted the first message here, but i am so excited to find it! My second great grandfather, James Hill, married my 2nd great grandmother, Jane Laurimer in Ballymena. I have since been looking in those environs for information on the Hill family. I believe his father's name was John Hill (because Ancestry shows a DNA connection to this man). He was married to an Ann or Anne or Anna. I put Anne Berry's name in as his wife and it immediately showed a DNA connection to me!
I believe James Hill was a son of John and Anne Berry Hill. He was born in 1810. My ancestry shows an Alexander Hill also born in 1810. James Hill is the only one of their children who did not show a death date. Probably because he and Jane emmigrated to the US and he died here in 1875.
I am really hoping I have found a connection here and am very excited about it. I plan to Visit Northern Ireland next year and am interested in connecting with other Hill family members.
