I am sure you maybe have this information but I am currently transcribing alot of Derriaghy Parish registers, not in full but near enough....  I came across this marriage entry

8th Sept 1838 David Boomer of Lambeg and Dorothy Partridge Derriaghy.

Hi Maggie,

I just read your post which caught my attention. I too am researching in the Derriaghy, Lisburn and Magheragall areas and also have transcribed some of the Derriaghy registers. I would love to compare notes!

Hi Maggie

Re your post about the Boomers and the Partridges, I haven't really looked at the Partridge connection yet....the only two I know for sure are my  great  Grandmother (Sarah) and her sister Lucy (Matthews)...and of course their parents Thomas and Mary Jane (Scales).  I know that there was also a connection with the McWatters because it was mentioned in a few conversations when my grandmother was alive but I can't remember now what it was...I believe it may have been a case of the wrong side of the blanket   The only other thing that intrigued me was that apparently there something my great granny Partridge used to say as a kind of reprimand which was "Ach, yer granda betrayed Munro".  That would surely have to be Henry Munro the leader of the Lisburn United Irishmen who was betrayed and executed in 1798.  I have often wondered...

Hi Maggie.

i Have just read your post, from earlier this year, regarding transcribing Derriaghy Parish Registers. I am in Australia and unable to access local records easily. I am looking for any information on the McCabes who lived in Lambeg and Derriaghy from the lates 1800s. I believe some of them are buried in Derriaghy. If there are any records you could suggest that I could access from here online I would appreciate it.
I have exhausted all the usual sources and I believe parish records are my best hope now.
Many thanks
Angela

My grandfather  James May and father Arthur May appear in this photo I would be interested in
Finding out about previous generations of the family.

Welcome to Rootschat, Margaret 

Your reuest for more information on your May family is likely to get missed as this Derriaghy thread is quite long,. If you click on 'report to moderator' just ask for your post onwards to be split off to a new topic here on the Antrim board.

It will help if you can give us a bit more information (without mentioning living people)- for example dates would help identify which records can be checked.
