Hi

I have 2 Hugh Maxwells in my tree,, what dates are you looking for?  My g-grandmother is Jane Maxwell, she had a brother Hugh Maxwell, their father is also Hugh Maxwell.  My Maxwells come from Kilwaugher and Larne area.

Hi,
    22 May 1864 Hugh Maxwell married Catherine Skelly in Larne R.C. Church. It is likely that Hugh's father was Arthur and Catherine's was Richard.

Hi Markey354

I dont think larne fire station would hold very old records but you could look here at the Fire service Historical Society.  The details are a bit old but if you write to the address in Lisburn you might get some information.  http://homepage.ntlworld.com/bill.broadhurst/firehistory.htm

'Fireman' may refer not just to what we think of as a firefighter but as a stoker on a ship, man working at furnace (such as in a factory), etc.
