1911 Co. Antrim census for Co. Antrim just became available online today (although not working 100% yet):
www.census.nationalarchives.ie/search

Also, some Will Extracts and 1912 Ulster Covenant on PRONI site:
www.proni.gov.uk


Wow, thanks for the 1911 information.  I was able to locate Thomas McConnell in Larne and he was born in America about 1856!

Many thanks aghadowey and njn123! 
 
I guess it indicates that I was searching the wrong side of the ocean.  Too bad Nora did not have locations to go with the dates.  Then we would know when that family returned to Ireland.

3.  JAMES2 MCCONNELL (WILLIAM1) was born 1830, and died 1874.  He married ELIZA GILBERT.
   
Children of JAMES MCCONNELL and ELIZA GILBERT are:
   i.   WILLIAM JOHN3 MCCONNELL, b. 1851; d. 1854.
   ii.   ELIZA MCCONNELL, b. 1853; d. 1873.
12.   iii.   THOMAS MCCONNELL, b. 1856.
   iv.   JAMES MCCONNELL, b. 1858; d. 1885.
   v.   SARAH JANE MCCONNELL, b. 1860; d. 1863.
   vi.   ELLEN HELENA MCCONNELL, b. 1862; d. 1927; m. JAMES STUART.
   vii.   WILLIAM JOHN MCCONNELL, b. 1867; d. 1869.

I made a visit to our local FHC to check the civil reg. indexes and here are some results for the above family as posted by njn123:

James McConnell death in 1874 in Larne Reg. Dist. (ref. 11-439), aged 44.
Eliza McConnell death in 1 Qtr 1881 in Larne Reg. Dist. (ref 2-539), aged 52.
Eliza McConnell death in 1873 in Larne R. D. (6-480), aged 20.
James McConnell death in 1 Qtr 1885 in Larne R. D. (1-501), aged 27.
William John McConnell death in 1869 in Larne R. D. (6-496), aged 1.

FYI, the first William John McConnell (1851-1854) died and is buried in Colebrook, NH, USA.

Civil registration of births in Ireland started in 1864- before that date there will be no birth certificate.

You are SO right!  What was I thinking? 
Thanks.

William John McConnell born 10 Apr. 1868 Co. Antrim, son of James McConnell and Eliza Gilbert.

Thanks. There is also the possibility that Ellen Helena McConnell was born 2 October 1862  in Larne, Co. Antrim.  I am going to my local FHC to check the birth indexes today.

I read with interest your descendancy chart for William McConnell.  His son, James (1830-1874) married my ancestor's sister, Elizabeth (or Eliza) Gilbert, on 17 Jan. 1850 in Ballycarry, Templecorran, Co. Antrim, Ireland.  For a while, they lived in the New Hampshire / Vermont area of the U.S. and are enumerated in Colebrook, NH on the 1860 census with just one child, Eliza (b. abt 1853).  From census and burial records, I only knew of the first two children.  Where were the other five children born/married/died?  I think I may have been looking the wrong side of the ocean for the family after 1860. 

Where did James McConnell die?  Do you have an exact date of death?

It appears that you have more information on "12.   iii.   THOMAS MCCONNELL, b. 1856."  Would you be willing to post more details about him?

Thanks.
