Ballantine's from Boyle, County Rosscommon

[Andi B]

Hi
Does anyone have any information on the Ballantine family who lived in Boyle, near Lake Gara, previous to 1920. They may have originated in Scotland. Some of the family came to England, to Yorkshire and Somerset.
Many thanks.

This is in the area of the borderline between counties Roscommon and Sligo, have you checked out the Ballantines in the 1901 and 1911 Ireland census returns (a number of hits) and do you have any other information on them or specific information you are seeking?

Hi Gaffy
This is my husband's family actually & he's just about to start some serious research but wondered if anyone had already made headway, to save him some work!! Thanks

If you haven't already done so, a good way to make surname connections with other members is to enter your surname interests in the Surname Interests Table (SIT), and to check there whether others are researching these names. 

This can be found at http://surname.rootschat.com/ , there is a link to it under "Your Tools" at the bottom of each Rootschat page.

The more people who enter their surnames, the more chance there will be of making a connection!
