Not sure if the offer is still there for a lookup for the Old Ballyclug Cemetary - I believe my gg grandafather Duffin Carson 1850/51 - 1948 is buried there with other family members - Any information would be appreciated please  :)

I have a copy of the Old Ballyclug transcriptions, but no mention of a Duffin Carson (other Carsons do appear). Likewise, no Duffin appears on the headstone inscriptions noted at http://www.thebraid.com/genealogy.aspx.

No Robert in death year indicated...nor any listed with middle initial B.  It is always possible that there is a Carson plot, with either no names on a headstone or names illegible. Certainly, at old Ballyclug, there are 3 adjacent Carson plots listed with no names entered against them (states 'grave surround only').

In the Ballyclug interment records which are shortly to be published on the Braid site, there are records of 95 Carsons buried between 1875-1972. Four of them have Duffin as a first name.

29 Feb 1876 Duffin Carson 26 Drumadaragh Kilbride
30 Mar 1883 Duffin Carson 28 Ballee Kells
24 Jan 1888 Duffin Carson 67 Farmer Ballee Kells
17 Aug 1948 Duffin Carson 98 Joiner Queen St Ballymena

There are no records of where they were buried so you might be able to narrow it down in the list of plot owners from c1875 which have 3 plots listed under Carson:

Jas. Carson, Ballylesson, 3 graves, South of Kanes H St, Old No.2, New No.39-41
Duffin Carson, Balle, 2 graves, at S. Wall, Old No.11, New No.not recorded
James Carson, Ballynulto, 14 graves, In trust, for right of interment of 26 Families, Old No.163, New No.176-189

Also Carson graves are marked on the new map at 175, 207, 532-3, 588 so that is 6 stones in total should be there although only 4 are in the Braid inscriptions (which are not always accurate).

New No. 532-3 is near the south wall so that is likely to be the plot registered for Duffin Carson. According to the new map it is in the far opposite corner from the entrance and to the right of a Walker headstone.

Is this 'new' map an altered version of the map included in the wee booklet listing all the names interred there (which I have).

Hi

Of course.  Here is a link to the site. It is free and lists lots of Ross's.
