I believe there was a fire at St Aidan's. Some church records survived. They are on microfilm at PRONI WHICH Is NOW LOCATED AT THE Titanic quarter in Belfast, I think.

Could you possibly look out for the following grave too - Think they were buried in Crew Glenavy though - Thomas Peel b1762 died 1846 & wife Catherine (nee Allen) b1765

Edward Peel born 1675

Thomas Peele born c1650

Lol!!!!  Well you never know!!!!

St Aidan's has very comprehensive records back to 1707 all microfilmed at PRONI. This church covered the CoI parishes of Glenavy, Camlin and Tullyrusk until the building of St John's, Crumlin in the early C20th.

Hi

I cannot help with local knowledge but it is my understanding that Glenavy is full of Quigley burials. My gt grandfather had two brothers who both married Quigley sisters from Glenavy. The oldest brother William Lynn Graham married Issamena Quigley in 1884 and James Graham married Louisa Jane Quigley in 1891. I think at least one of these wives was also buried at Glenavy according to her granddaughter, whereas her husband was I think buried at Templepatrick.

Anyway these sisters were daughters of James Quigley (1827-1903) and Matilda Thompson. James was in turn the son of Henry Quigley (1791-1844) and Ann Sloan. The following Glenavy inscription is from a public tree in Ancestry containing these Quigleys.


Erected by Ann Quigley in memory of her beloverd husband Henry Quigley who dies 5th June 1844 aged 53 years their son Henry died 30th August 1850 aged 10.

Also their Grand-children Henry died 6th october 1858 Aged 1 year

Ann died 10th September 1863 aged 6 years

Ann and Margaret Peel who died in infancy.

Isamenia Peel who died in her 60th year also the above named Ann Quigley who died 26th April 1895  aged 90 years.

Also James Quigley died in his 78th year,

Also Grandson of the erector James McCracken who was accidentally drowned in Belfast Lough 13th July 1912 aged 30 to the inexpressible grief of his devoted mother Louisa McCracken (nee Quigley)

also his brother and sister Mary and Willie who died when young.

Also their dear mother Louisa McCracken died 30th December 1920.

Matilda Quigley died 13th April 1914 aged 89

William McCracken died 14th May 1933 aged 84 years.

Hi,  I am also descended from this family, my direct descendants are Charles Quigley (1753) and Jane Higgson  (1755). Charles is the son of Edward Quigley and Mary Sloane. I am trying to trace my family tree and this is as far back as I have managed to get. I have had some suggestions from other sites as to other ancestors on the Sloane line, but nothing confirmed.  I would be grateful if anyone had any information from further back before Charles and Mary.
