History of Cullybackey
« on: Friday 19 October 07 14:24 BST (UK) »
Does anyone have access to: Cullybackey, The Story of an Ulster Village by William Shaw, published 1913? It's on Google books which tantalisingly reveals that it has some information about my g g grandfather, but I can't view the book...

There are reference copies available at various libraries. If you email one, for instance, local Studies section at Ballymena Library, and give some details, they may be willing to check content for you.

It'a all very well mentioning NI libraries guys but I think we may have a slight problem ... are you located
in Northern Ireland, Peter? If you aren't and if the book has an index a librarian may be able to do a look
up if you post an e-mail to them explaining what you require.

That is why I suggested that in my post.

I must have had something else on my mind ... I missed that bit of your post, scotmum.

Thanks folks, unfortunately I now live in England, so getting to N.I. libraries is difficult. Sorry to be so dim, but can I get the contents of the book without physically visiting?

In my earlier post I have given you a link to the email address for the local studies section of Ballymena library and suggested if you contact them with details of your enquiry, they may be willing to check the book for you and copy any relevant section.
