Mary Glenholme County Antrim
« on: Sunday 28 August 11 23:52 BST (UK) »
My search is for gr grandmother Mary Glenholme (Falconbridge). I believe Mary married William Falconbridge, perhaps in Larne or Lisburn?  Their eldest son named John Kennedy Falconbridge, born Coleraine 1819.

Mary wrote "Vincit Veritas" which was published in Dublin and Belfast around 1829. The book apparently well received.

Mary died in 1834 in Burt House Donegal.

Any information on Glenholme family much appreciated.

Note: Dunboe Parish (Church of Ireland) is in Coleraine registration district but not in the town of Coleraine

Added- Coleraine is Co. Londonderry, Glenholme in Co.Antrim and Burt's in Donegal so I'm going to move this to Ireland-General board
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!

Thanks Cyclaman. Yes I do have John Kennedy's marriage details most important for me is the marriage of his parents Mary G and William F and details of the childrens' birth (there were a number after John Kennedy and a few before I thjink. i.e. Anna Maria, Samuel, perhaps James or other females - the youngest Alexander may have been born in Antrim but his death certifidcate said born in Donegal, which is also possible.

Information on Glenholme family is also needed, i believe Mary may have had a sister Margaret (married to a Dugan).

I am also after details of the Kennedy family, Antrim. Miss Kennedy married another William Falconbridge in Antrim 1776, however her christian name is unknown. She may have been the eldest of a Samuel Kennedy corn/flour miller of Grove Green.
