Ballyboghillhow

[mbnixon]

According to The Belfast Newsletter, my 3x Great Grandfather Archibald Hunter married Anne McCarten on 10th August 1839 in Greyabbey, County Down. He is from Whitechurch and she is from Ballyboghillhow.

I have tried to locate Ballyboghillhow but with no success. Can anyone help me locate it.

Thanks

I've corrected the OCR a little:
From the Irish Newspapers on FMPast:

 William Hunter, of D(B)allyboghillbow, near Grayabhoy(Greyabbey), clearing his well, which is situated on the summit of one of the highest hills in the Ards, found an eel in good health. He put it into the well shortly after his removal there, upwards of forty years ago.— Banner ...”

Thanks everyone. How strange about the eel. Anyway, William is possibly Archibald's father - so more research to do.

Thanks for all these grave inscriptions. It all looks like very useful information. Hopefully I'll be able to work out the family structure.

Thanks, so much information. I have used the Ros Davies site before and found it very useful.

One bit of information I am keen to find out concerns The Rev H. Jeffrey and which church he was in charge of in Greyabbey.  He married Archibald Hunter and Anne McCarten on 10th August 1839. If I know the church, I can hopefully ask for a look up on the marriage certificate.

Thanks again
