I have tried ancestry, have tried Ulster genealocical foundation, tried numerous leads on Google- but can't get anywhere- only his descendants. Grateful,if you have any other clues- there were a lot of Jardines in the area. I did find a snippet about a farmer called james Jardine being killed by a cyclist from Ros and tried to,obtain death certificate based on this to no avail and I,did find census info relating,to a james Jardine and he had a farm etc, but not sure whether the dots can be linked.
