Peacocks of Ballymoney
« on: Wednesday 28 December 11 20:30 GMT (UK) »
I am searching for any information on the Peacocks of Ballymoney and surrounding areas. I am aware there are around 4 separate families but all seem to descend from Chestnut Peacock (1720 - 1800) who is buried in Roseyard cemetary along with some of his family. He had 2 sons that I am aware of, John b 1762 and Thomas b 1768 but there are other children who I have not found.
I have a William Peacock b 1834 and died in 1866 in Ballymoney but I cannot find a connection anywhere. He married Rose McCrank in 1863 and had 2 sons James and William.
Can anyone help me here?

Many thanks for the reply, I also have the record but unfortunately it doesn't give his parent's names.

Thank you but I don't think these are connected to my William Peacock.

Would think that at least the first one (Thomas Peacock) is related to Chestnut Peacock.

Yes he was his son. But I cannot find the connection between my William Peacock born 1834 and this family, although I am sure there is one somewhere.

Bumping an old thread, but I was contacted by someone interested in a Chestnut Peacock born in Ballymoney c. 1876:

Unfortunately, I couldn't find his parents and connect him back to the wider Peacock family of Ballymoney:

So I just thought I'd throw this in here as part of the jigsaw.
