no problem, when I get a moment, I will do some investigation.  I hoped to reached Calum on here after finding his post but he hasn't been active for a few years.

Hi Jono, you might be right.  CallumD has other posts on this forum where he mentioned he visiting McAuley family in Ballycastle and Ballymena which suggests a connection to Donegore. 

Do you have Ancestry?

Hi there. Donegore is near the town of Antrim which is within the County of Antrim. The Charles McAuley mentioned in this thread is from Cushendall which is approx 35 miles from Donegore.  I could be wrong but happy to help more.

Quote from: Jono McCauley on Saturday 01 November 25 23:12 GMT (UK)
My great great grandfather was a blacksmith named Charles McCauley. He emigrated to Australia in 1842 from the parish of Donegore in County Antrim. The village of Parkgate (main centre of Donegore) according to Griffiths Valuation had a few generations of McAuleys (slight variation in spelling) operating a forge in Parkgate up until the early 1900s. I’m assuming these were brothers/nephews of my Charles - despite the variation in spelling given the tiny town and same name/occupation. Is there any chance your Charles McAuley could be part of same family? I note this family is quite a few miles away, so might be a long shot, but would be very grateful if anyone has any information. Thank you.

The man on the left Sandy Coyle, and his son Charles at the back. The lady with glasses is his wife Kathleen McAuley and her sister Margaret McAuley is seated with the child.  They all lived at that address and we're indeed related to Charles Mcauley as I used to visit Mary McAuley, Charles cousin as a child.

In this case I happen to be 100% sure.
It's actually spelt McAuley. the Charles mentioned here is my Great Great Grandfather.

Bit late to this but I am related. My great grandmother was McAuley.
