Hi there,

I know some time has elapsed since an active post on this topic but I have just spotted this one recently.

My Great Grandfather was the Robert (James) Kemp you mention, my Grandfather Robert was one of his sons who appears on the 1901 and 1911 census in Loughguile.  Mary Ann Laverty (Kemp) appears to have left Antrim for a time with her husband who was an RIC (Royal Irish Constabulary) Constable who served in Co. Antrim (1881-1890 where he met Mary Ann) and Co. Donegal (1890-1897).  After Robert Kemp was discharged from RIC in 1897 Mary Ann appears to have returned alone to live with relatives (Dan McCambridge and wife Ellen who was Mary Ann's sister) in Loughguile though she does not appear on either 1901 or 1911 census!

Robert (James) Kemp was originally a farmers son from Cavan (he was born approx 1860).  He was Protestant in faith but later became RC per Church marriage and RIC records.

As far as I know Mary Ann lived to an old age and is buried in the graveyard in Dunloy Co. Antrim which is in the Loughguile area.

Hi Teelinboy

I am the Grandson of James Laverty - Mary Ann's brother.

Robert and Mary Ann's family - Robert, Jack and Fred would have stayed with James and were recorded on the census. Jack had no partner or family and Fred was married to a molloy but no family? Robert (son) born around 1891 had a big family - do you have their details?

My information was that Robert (james) died at sea but not sure when or what the cause was.

Hope this helps but great if you have any other info on Robert James family or Mary Ann Laverty?
I have Mary Ann parents as Henry Laverty and Margaret Dillon?

Regards.

Happy to help  :)

Biddy or Margaret McGill was my Great Great Aunt.

I am searching through my Laverty family history from Loughguile. Do you happen to know who Margaret's parents were by any chance? I have a John or Jack Laverty and a ? McClements??

Remember when looking for McGill to also try Magill as the family in Co.Antrim did change the format - I am still trying to contact my Co.Antrim Magill connection and when I do I will get in touch with their details.

All the best.

Would this be your Mary Ann - age 6 in 1911 - daughter to James and Mary Ann?

Yes - thanks aghadowey.

John Laverty died 4/4/1865 - date found on Will on PRONI website. I have requested the Death Cert to see what it says. Not sure when born. He left money to James (Son) the Shoemaker who never married.

Henry was born around 1836 and died 29/3/1911 - he is buried in Loughguile. I found the 1911 census return online showing Margaret (Dillon) as Head of Family as census taken 2/4/1911!

Mary Ann born 30/9/1860 and married in 1890 to Robert Kemp.

Grateful for any help esp. on John's parents going back into 1700's or the McClements line.
John also remarried after McClements to a Boyd but think they did not have any family.

Family links are - Loughguile, Castlequarter, Tobernagola. Also Lisanore (Lissanoure).

Antrim / John Laverty Loughguile history
« on: Tuesday 04 August 09 23:48 BST (UK)  »
John Laverty was born in Castlequarter (Loughguile parish) and was married to a    McClements. They had 4 family - John who died in his 20s, James who was a shoemaker and did not marry, Biddy (Margaret) who married John McGill and had 4 sons, and Henry - my GGF, who went on to marry Margaret Dillon and had 6 of a family. Famly were - Jane, Mary Ann, Ellen, James, Margaret and John - I have most of the history of these familys apart from Mary Ann. She married Robert Kemp and they had 3 family - Robert, Jack and Fred but do not have any more info.

James the shoemaker / farmer is on the 1911 census as living in Tobernagola - part of Castlequarter in the parish of Loughguile.

Grateful if anyone has any more info about John's parents or any other relations in the family.

Hi

Not sure that this James is the correct one your looking for. My relation was Margaret Laverty who married John McGill. They had 6 children, 4 survived - all boys. My info is that 3 went to Australia and one stayed at home in Loughguile Parish. I am trying to track down a person I know to confirm this.

All 1911 census returns are online free for County Antrim.

Let me know how you get on.
