Hi kaz, could you look for John Scalley or Mary Scalley   many thanks.

Just to add a bit of info - I have some info on a Margaret Scally who married a John McGarry and had children in Ireland, Glasgow and then back in Ballycastle circa 1860.

Here is the list of individuals in 1861 Glasgow:  Duncan McGarry 1 
John McGarry 26 
John McGarry 5 
Margaret McGarry 23 
Margaret McGarry 2 
Duncan Scally 15 
John Scally 17

Denis Carmichael (McMichael) and wife Nancy Kean, both believed to have died before 1880. 

I have daughter Ann born between 1828-1832 in Ramoan but she married in 1852 in Rothesay, Bute so the family parents included may have moved out.

Hi Kaz

When you have the time would you please look at the C of I Churchyard (I think it's St Patrick's) at Armoy for D'EVELYN gravestones.  (I have heard there is at least one there but it is hard to get info from the other side of the world.)

John William D'EVELYN was Rector of Armoy from about 1850 to 1894 when he died.  He had a wife and several children some of whom were buried there also, however I have no information about them.

Any information you can find from the gravestone would be very much appreciated.

Thank you
Sandie

See that Mary has also given details of Will Extract which I hadn't noticed earlier.

A few more bits in case they are of interest:

Margaret McNeill, youngest daughter of late Alexander (sister of Mrs. D'Evelyn) married 15 Oct.1862 to Richard C. Bergne.

Concert at Mosside in Belfast Newsletter 1 Feb.1894 mentions Rev. D'Evelyn and the Misses D'Evelyn.

Reopening service Armoy Parish Church in Belfast Newsletter 20 June 1894 mentions brass tablet in memory of late Rev. D'Evelyn.

Mary and Aghadowey

Thanks so much for your very helpful information.  You have filled in some gaps for me.  Fancy a clergyman having so much money!  (One of his sons came to Qld and ran a sheep station out west!)
