Down / Re: Donaghadee lookups?

I see that a Joseph Boyce was schoolmaster in Warren Road Donaghadee National School 3 in 1884. (Belfast and Ulster Street Directory)

I am trying to find something on a John Stewart or (Stuart) who was schoolmaster there before Mr Boyce.

Born 1844
Married   Maria Kelly in Newtowncrommelin Pres. Church  1865
Living in Ballyvestor  1866 when first child Martin was born 26 May
A daughter Elizabeth was also born there.
In August 1871  John Stewart's wife registers the birth of a son at Newtowncrommelin.   He is named John for the father  and he is baptised there in October of that year. She gives her mother's address as her residence.

I have been unable to find out what happened to the father    and would like to know if  he
was the Mr Stewart referred to as schoolmaster of the Warren Road National school  up to 1880 in the Street Directory.

Antrim Completed Look up Requests / Re: Tullyneuh, County antrim - is there such a place?

Megan,
The 'tullyneuh' you are looking for is Tullynewey, a Townland about five miles NEof Ballymena.
It is in the Parish of Dunaghy, in the Barony of Kilconway and about 1 mile from Clough village.
Sir Samuel McCaughey was born on a farm there ( I have 1835)
Much has been recorded on his and his Wilsom Uncle's work in Australia.
Sir Samuel donated a warplane to Britain for WW2
Presently I am trying to  find a connection with McFetridge  or Smyth with McCaughey.
A James Mcfetridge b 1872 Ballymena married a Jeannie Smyth (Rasharkin) b 1888 emmigrated to Australia and had a daughter Anna McCaughey McFetridge born  29Nov 1909 in Rockhampton, Queensland.

I live only 2 miles from the Tullynewey farm

Regards
