Possibly

Doagh Visitors Center is situated in one of the most scenic parts of Ireland, at one stage separated from the mainland, Doagh was once an island.

i know where the entry is as i live beside it.
it is a lane with about 7 houses on the right, a church and a playschool to the left.

Thank you ..Thank you ...for your reply

I was thinking maybe my Grandmother was born on a lane or ditch or something.as the cert had no address ,only 'the entry'

Do you know if the houses are old, as she was born in 1906,and has the church got a grave yard?........and this is a long shot.... but do you know of any families in the area called Mayne, Todd, Kirkpatrick,Gault,Twig,McIlhenny,Topping, Crone,McCall as they could be related to me.

Thank you again ..from Stevenson ,who is very excited

hi
I have McGrugans living on Main street  Parkgate Doagh
Mayne family, Anderson Park Doagh and Kirks Cottages Doagh,  the other addresses are around Donegore Springvale Burnside Kilbride Antrim etc etc all from about 1900 to 1950 give or take a few years.

I also would love to know  if there are any Twig(Twigg)in your book as all these people are related form Sarah and Mary Twig

James and William Gault and James and William Stevenson are  relatives from that area but if they are the same ones Iam unsure

Thank you for your help..
