JACKSON, Arthur b Port Muck 1824
« on: Monday 16 May 05 13:07 BST (UK) »
I have just had some good news about my JACKSON family mystery!

Arthur JACKSON was a sea captain in 1861 aged 37 ( born 1824 ) and he said he was born in Port Muck, Antrim.

Is there any way of tracing his family in that area?

Does anyone have any BMD records for Port Muck or indeed are they still available to search.

The area looks absolutely beautiful ( just found some pics on the net ) so the name doesn't do it justice at all !

Is Port Muck near Grange of Muckamore or Ballyharvey?

any information would be appreciated

Kind regards

I have transcribed the 1911 Census for Islandmagee, County Antrim. There are very many mistakes Transcribing the National Archives Dublin, although it was good to have what was done.

                I have corrected most of the mistakes, although there were a few which I just could not make out what they were. The detail is on an EXCEL worksheet and takes about a minute or so to load. There is a link to download a viewer for those who do not have EXCEL installed on their computer. The link to my website :-
