Hi Dorothy. No-one ever got back to me after we had emailed each other, so I would like to purchase your book, my stepson is a Tweed, who’s family lives in Ballymoney. How you are doing well.
Regards Pat.
By: Patricia Kirkpatrick on September 16, 2009 at 11:44 pm
Hi Pat,
If you purchase the book I will send all the info I have to you on Tweeds etc.
You should find the book interesting as so many of the local families ae interconnected to each other.
Dorothy
Have just started researching my family and they came from Ballymoney and Garryduff. Names are Fleming, Moore, Calderwood and Holliday. Would love to purchase this book if any of these family members were buried there. Thinking of coming to research during the October festival and hope to have more information gathered from family by then. Thank you for your time.
Hi Donna,
I have 200 Moores, 60 Hallidays, 30 Calderwoods and 35 Flemings in my database of local families in and around Ballymoney.
If you buy the book and send me your family queries I can definitely help you with your research.
I can recommend coming to the conference in October as there are workshops, graveyard tours and lots of local people who can help you with your queries.
I will be there speaking about the Old Churchyard and doing a tour of it.
Just speaking to local people who are interested in local history and families can prove to be more useful than spending a week in a research office.
Email me on dorothy@ballymoneygraveyard.com
I know that I will be able to help!
Dorothy
Interested in Gamble/Brown/Haggarty/McFadden/Wilson familes. If I purchase the book do you have additional information on these family lines. The most I can go back is William Gamble who married an Eleanor Brown, had several children born in Ireland (believed to be in Ballymoney) then the family moved to Quebec Cda area abt 1825 or so. What would the cost of the book be and shipping to USA?
This is an amazing book you have put together and many generations from all over the world Thank you for your dedication and research! I certainly do.
I am also following a Gillespie line, Bernard born in Ireland but do not see any of that name mentioned in the book.
Thank you,
Dee Winters
There were two families of Camerons in Ballymoney in the early 1800′s who came from Scotland in the early 1700′s and another family who came from the Dunboe area in Co. Londonderry who settled in Leitrim just outside Ballymoney.
Can you be more specific about your Camerons?
I am related to the Ballymoney Camerons

Hello, I am looking for information regarding my mother’s family. Her mother, Louisa Moore died on October 22, 1916 was buried in New Cemetery. My mother’s father died on October 12th, 1954 and I don’t know where the grave is. However I have a picture of a grave sitewith the names Moore and Wilson and since Wilson was the married name of one of my aunts, I think it might be the one. The number 204 lists last both names. Please let me know if you have information that may help me.
Thanks, Lois
Hi Lois,
Do you mean St. Patrick’s Churchyard or Knock Road cemetery – both can be referred as the New Cemetery?
Email me at dorothy@ballymoney graveyard.com with more family info and I will see if I can help you.
Dorothy
Dorothy, the McLaughlins, Lyons and Knoxs in this cemetery are undoubtedly in my family tree. I would love to purchase your book and really any books that you may have written or know about that could shed some more light on this background. We have been at a complete standstill for many years.
Thank you very much,

Dorothy
Hi Dorothy my name is Cindy Rowbottom I’m trying to do my families genealogy, my father’s family is from Armoy, Ballymoney, County Antrim Ireland and I believe my grandfather and great uncles are buried in Kilbraughts cemetery, their names are Samuel Greg McClure, Daniel McClure and Albert McClure my understanding is they are buried beside each other, if you can give me anything I would appreciate it or guide me where to go from here would be great, thanking you in advance for any help. Cindy
Hello Dorothy, I recently visited N.I. and found my great grandmother’s grave, Mary Ann Orr, she was buried with her son Harold Victor William Orr, in the Church of Ireland graveyard. Does your book cover this church graveyard? I have not been able to locate Charles William, Mary Ann’s husband and was wondering if you have any Orr’s in your book. There is also a great great grandfather and mother William and Elizabeth Orr who I would love to find their resting place they lived in 4 in Ballinamore Town (Seacon) in the 1901 census, Mary Ann and Charles lived 30 in Ballinacree Skein (Seacon). I would appreciate knowing if these families appear in your book also McBride (Mary Ann’s maiden name), and Agnew (Elizabeth’s maiden name), have come to a stand still with my early searching. William died 31st March 1906, Elizabeth 1st Jan 1917, and their son Charles William 11th Dec 1943. Many thanks Jane
Hi Jane,
I have quite a bit of info into your family which I found while researching the St. Patrick’s Parish Churchyard book. I will look out my notes and send them to you.
Dorothy
Hi Dorothy, Thank you so much for your quick reply, that is great news about the information you have on my family, I would really appreciate anything that would help me extend my search. I would also like to get your book but do not know which one would have more detail for me the Old Church Graveyard or St Patrick’s I did find Great Grandmother’s grave in St Patrick’s so maybe you could tell me which would have more detail on the Orr’s, Mcbride and Agnew. There was also a nephew William Rafferty who lived with my GG Gran and Grandfather, he is with them in both census and died 9 Dec 1939, he lived Balnamore and was a private postman. I look forward to hearing from you with details about the book purchase. Thanks again Jane
