Antrim / Re: Harrison from Ballintoy 18th century
« on: Wednesday 11 June 14 21:25 BST (UK)  »
Hello

Thanks for these links. I managed to find a church record for the baptism on a James Harrison, son of James and Annie on November 6th, 1740 in DUBLIN (COI) , Parish/Church/Congregation - ST. CATHERINE. This one is interesting.

Not sure why James Harrison left for the United States. In some old books I have gone through, it mentions that both Charles and James had been officers in the Army prior to coming to the US. This could explain why they sided with the British during the American Revolution.

Thanks for your replies. Harrisons are found in the 1734 and 1766 census for Ballentoy. A James Harrison in 1766, hence why I am concentrating on Ballentoy at the moment. Since the parish records haven't survived back to those years, the Vestry minutes have. If any members go regularly to PRONI, I will gladly pay a reasonable fee to have the Vestry microfilm looked from 1713-1767ish, year that my James Harrison is alleged to have come to the United States. Thanks

Hi, thanks for your reply. Correct, PRONI are asking for 15.50 pounds for 15 minutes so that is too expensive for me. The FHL does not have that reel unfortunately.

Hello

Thanks for your reply. PRONI has been contacted and they won't do searches in a microfilm. I don't blame them, it would be so time consuming if they would start doing this for us. I have researched the Harrisons extensively here in Canada and in New Jersey, so now am aiming at that microfilm at PRONI.

Hi

Thanks for both your replies.

Yes my information is that they were Protestants so will now find a way to view that reel in PRONI. If anyone attends PRONI I would be interested for a lookup of that reel.

Correct, that is the James and Charles Harrison I am researching. Still trying to ascertain their origins.

Antrim / Harrison from Ballintoy 18th century
« on: Saturday 31 May 14 19:26 BST (UK)  »
Hello, I am researching two brothers, James and Charles Harrison from County Antrim, immigrated to the USA circa 1767, Loyalists and removed to New Brunswick, Canada following the end of the War. Am trying to locate their parish of birth and their parents. On the PRONI databases, I was able to find a James Harrison in the 1766 census in Ballintoy. In the Church records available at PRONI, I read that the early registers were destroyed in Dublin, but the vestry minutes back to 1713 have survived. Would those minutes contain names of parishioners, families etc... in order word, information that would be of genealogical value? Thank you

Armagh / Re: Bon(n)er family from Drumnykerne, Shankill Parish, County Armagh

Armagh / Bon(n)er family from Drumnykerne, Shankill Parish, County Armagh
« on: Friday 14 March 14 01:10 GMT (UK)  »
Hello all

I am researching this family. In the Ireland wills indexes I found three:

1. William Boner probated 1812
2. John Boner probated 1823
3. Elizabeth Bonner probated 1847

I am aware that these wills were more than likely destroyed, but am now looking at church records. If my research is correct, the Bon(n)er's were not Catholics. A google search is confusing about churches in that area. Can someone point me in the right direction? Any other sources which could give me information on these three persons? Thanks
