Has anyone heard of the surname ADSAY

[dwrcrawford]

Hi,

Yes i do think this is the likely name variation and has just been misread by the author of the webpage. I will go and look for myself one day at PRONI or Coleraine (but stuck in England for now)
I had noticed there are quite a few Adgeys around the Killead area at the time of the 1851 census but so far none with my first names.

Thanks guys.

Don't see Killead Presbyterian Church listed for holdings at Coleraine Library so you might have to go to PRONI when you come over.

From other thread-

Turns out the author of the website has misread the parish register and the surname should be Adgey.
Less exciting in one way, but at least it is a name which can be found in the area at the time!

Hi David,

Have a wee gander through the Glenavy history site as there are a few Adgey burials in the Dundrod Presbyterian graveyard. Only sad thing is that if you touch lucky there  isn't currently a minister with the church at present - as I found out sadly.

If there's no minister at present the Clerk of Session, or someone else on church committee, should have access to church records.
