Antrim / Grainger, homestead Derriaghy
« on: Monday 11 July 11 02:41 BST (UK) »
Hi all, I've recently discovered that the Grainger side of my family tree came from the Barnfield Road area of Derriaghy, i know their farmhouse, was there around the late 16 hundreds and survived until 1934 when it was demolished and replaced, the last family member being Rebecca Grainger, does anyone have any information or photographs on this subject.
regards sam.

i wonder if anyone could help me on this. on my gg/fathers birth cert, ABRAHAM BELL, born 1870, it gives his place of birth as 8 ballycessy, and his fathers dwelling place as 9 ballycessy, and occupation as farm servant, can anyone relate these address to any farm in that area.

hello again tees, many thanks for taking the time to help me .
there was no john Melville with fathers name of James in the basket, and the one i referred too ( fathers name Daniel) was from downpatrick, so iam pretty sure it cant be him.
sorry to say i know very little about my Melville name, so i don't know if my g/father had any brothers or sisters.
some interesting names you have given me regarding possible marriages,
no 2 stands out date wise?
i had come across the birth regs before of Mary Ann mccollum and Margaret Baillie , and i hope some of these names will fit in somewhere down the line in the family tree.
my grandparents died in donaghadee, and are buried in ballyvester graveyard
thanking you again , melv

hi tees,
john was married in newtownards, i dont know why i assume he was born in ireland, could be that i thought it was him in the u.h.f all along, i shall have to read over all my notes to be sure. the john melville mentioned on the u.h.f. site, his fathers name was Daniel and was R.C. and not C.O.I., sure if this game was that easy it wouldnt be half the fun, i know i will find him sooner or later
, regards melv.

« on: Saturday 17 March 07 12:27 GMT (UK) »Hi melvno luck, the john melville,on the uhf site, born 1891, was not my grandfather. melv.
It may mean the UHF has a church record on John Melville's baptism/birth entry.
Not all the births were registered in Ireland.
Perhaps his surname was mistranscribed which is not common in any civil registration.
It would to be to your advantage if you try to purchase that a 1891 entry on UHF to see what it contains on your John Melville.
I have two rellies who were not registered at all but were baptised in a church--the entries have their birth dates. This was from the UHF.
Kind regards,
Tees
