Hi,
   The townland name is INSHAMPH but it is in the parish of Dunaghy. There is a townland of BRECKAGH in the parish of Skerry.

After re-reading your post I thought you might be interested to know that the 2 oldest Crawford graves I know of there are for a James Crawford of omerbane (a townland or parish near clough) and a john Crawford of the colliery. Both headstones are now gone thru wear or covered by larger gravestones.
I'd love to know if they're for yours and if they link to my crawfords.
Regards. David

David
They possibly could be, I have a James Crawford then his son a John  Crawford who was born in 1750
I don't suppose you have a photo of those gravestones, or know what was written on them?
Looking back on their descendants I see John had a son Robert 1780 - 1834 who married Rose McElheron, they had a son Charles 1820 - 1891 who married Mary Jane McKay, both of whom are buried in the Clough cemetary, so I would say there must of been a tie in there somewhere!
Cheers
Alan

If you go to the Ballymena museum website they have a section under genealogy which allows you to search the local headstone inscriptions and I believe they're on there.

hi
robert crawford and family  moved from clough at some time to farm at breckagh townland in the early 18??. they rent at first but were able to buy out part of the land and farm it .the farm is called "Soarns" after the hill behind the house.Charles Crawford b 1820 / Mary Jane McKAY farmed the land after this .Is older brothers and sisters (Gamble etc.) had gone america. Charles b 1869/Mary Strahan
McCullough farmed next with his two brothers. the farm had been left to all three and was divided up.
Charles bought one of his brother parts and brother moved away. the third part was sold in the 1950's and they moved to Canada.Charles died in 1944 and the farm was left to his sons daniel and charles..They all in clough graveyard.
a few other notes one of the posts ask about" BOGSTOWN" this is the townland next to Breckagh townland.
I have a few photos of the headstone at clough before it became to bad to read, it was taken in 1972   Mary Strahan mc cullough was Charles Crawford b.1869 wife.
