Antrim / Re: Alexander
« on: Monday 23 March 15 13:14 GMT (UK)  »
Francis Alexander is the son of Thomas Alexander and his cousin Margaret alexander. I had a Groni search for his Birth certificate but they couldn't find one. Perhaps it just didn't get registered. His father Thomas died in 1897 aged 22 from scarlet fever and his son would have been born after his death. Francis had a sister Sara married to Robert Kennedy. Sara and Francis were brought up by their maternal grandparents Robert and Nancy.They are listed in the census as children of Robert and Nancy when it should say grand children. In view of the trauma of Thomas's death it would be understandable if registration got forgotten.
My grandfather David Alexander was the elder brother of thomas

Antrim / Re: Old farm names in Co. Antrim
« on: Thursday 02 May 13 12:16 BST (UK)  »
my great grandfather was Robert McClure of Lisboy -his farm was rumoured to have been called "the Stannin' Stane" but I have no proof of this.

The obituary of William Dickey Hart who died in Ohio 1n 1917 stated that he had a farm in Drumbest called "Bonnie Braes" Which he had lost in 1879 through no fault of his own.

I can't tell you much-but my great Aunt Mary Anne Davidson married James McClenaghan on 15th May 1903 at St James in Ballymoney. James came from Ballynagashel and lived in Ballytaggart(a lovely man) In my notes I have the following comment(william Mcclenaghan was the older brother of James and died in port glasgow-his wife was named Nellie and they had a son William)
I have also noted that James had an uncle Hugh McCollom who lived and died at Drumdollagh and an Aunt Nancy Mccollom.
James mcClenaghan and Mary ann had the following children -not necessarily in order
Mary-Married Tom Clyde
Jeannie who married Jim Clyde
Emily who Married Alex Taggart
Jim who married * Clyde
Ellen-unmarried
Tom -Jim and * Clyde are brothers and sister
Jim died about 6 years ago and * is now aged 95 and still living in the original home of James at Ballytaggart.
