Hi,
   Have you any further details? I can find an Edward Sturdy McMaster who married in 1910 in Larne. and can also find a couple of others which are earlier also in Co.Antrim.

Can't see any marriage or death for an Edward McMaster in Coleraine registration district (although index only goes up to 1921 for Northern Ireland).
http://pilot.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html#p=collectionDetails;t=searchable;c=1408347

There were cottages on what would have been outskirts of Coleraine called Irish Houses (on Institution Road opposite present Wheatsheaf Road).

There are lots of McMasters in Coleraine area but Edward isn't a common name in any of the families I've traced.

The Ulster Covenant (1912) shows only 2 Edward McMasters- one at Ballycannon, Macosquin (just outside Coleraine) and Edward S. McMaster at Ballycarry, Whitehead (possibly the Edward Sturdy McMaster who married 1910 in Larne district).

Hi ,
Still trying to trace any leads on Edward McMaster   known as "Ned".  small amounts of information coming through... He is apparently buried at Killowen Graveyard... possibly 1940's  I think this is in Coleraine somewhere.  and did live at Macosquin at one point. so  he may be the one referred to signing the Ulster Covenant.

Were the McMasters Church of Ireland? There's burying-ground at Killowen Parish Church.

Coleraine Library and PRONI both have the following on 1 microfilm reel:

Killowen Parish Church
vol 1: bapt1824-1841; marr 1824-1831; burials 1825-1830
vol 2: bapt 1824-1843; marr 1824-1843
vol 3: bapt 1843-1857; confirmations 1844, 1849, 1855
vol 4: marr 1843-1845
vol 5: burials 1843-1881, 1893-1901
vol 6: bapt 1857-1869
Not 100% sure but think some of it might be difficult to read

Anything more recent would be in local custody

Hi Aghadowey,
just getting back to my research as I've been away for quite a while....Edward(Ned )McMaster did live at Macosquin before the Irish Cottages. I have traced his burial place to Killowen church just left inside the front gates...unfortunately it is unmarked so will have to trace that through church records I presume.. haven't even got the death year !  Whose picture is showing in your mail,, much too young for Ned but I'm curious.
Thanks
Megbe.
