Hi,

I think I may have a connection to the Hillocks you are looking for.  Here is the link for the 1901 census of Ireland which shows Patrick Hillock married to Annie Hillock with James, Mary and Isabella their children living in Marchioness street in Belfast.  Patrick was born in Glasgow in around 1864

http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Antrim/Falls/Marchioness_Street/951874/

Patrick's mother is also called Isabella Hillock and in 1901 and 1911 is living in Albert Street, Belfast. 

Mary Quinn nee Hillock is my great grandmother and she died in 1969 in Killyleagh  Co Down.

Do you think we are related?  Im new to all this searching but would love to hear from pssible distant relatives.

[griscruf]

wow, belfast would be a new twist. i am not sure if the link you provided is the family.  i am not blood related to the hillocks.  a hillock was the first wife of my father's aunt's husband.  but i am in touch with a hillock who may be interested to talk to you.  she is Tracy Mckirdy from glasgow.  if you provide an email i can pass it along to her.

Hi,  I knew the dates were wrong but the names are too much of a coincidence dont you think?  I cant trace Patrick's father but his mother was born in Armagh about 1836.  On the census she is listed as a widow.

I will pm you my address
