Splendid work. It is difficult for me, being in Australia, to judge how valuable the book would be for my purposes. I am particularly interested in identifying No. 353, and in the conjunctions of Stewart and Patton in No. 7 and Stuart and Patton in No. 148.

I am interested in # 404. Do you ever plan to put pictures of headstones on the internet? There is a site: findagrave.com (non-profit) that would probably love to share this information with the world community of researchers.
Thanks for all your work.

I would love to be able to give all the information from my book for nothing but it has taken me three years to write and I have produced the book at my own expense so I have to try and recoup some of the money back.

To Stephen Stuart-
Most of the Patton families in the area came from Drumaheglis, but several moved to the Roseyards area.
I have in my records a Thomas Patton who married Fanny Stewart of Roseyards. Does this ring any bells?

My great-great grand-father was JOHN QUIN who is said to have been born in 1828 in Ballymoney, County Down, Ireland. He died on 30 September 1872 in Wanganui, New Zealand. He married JANE NEWPORT in New Zealand, and they had three sons and two daughters. I had hoped your book may have referred to his family, but it appears not. Do you have any other references to the QUIN family?

Hi Dorothy
Came across this website tonight (or rather this morning!). I came over to Northern Ireland to search for clues for a Jane Weir and James Bell who married and had a son Samuel in 1860. Samuel died in Glasgow in 1940 and his parents’ grave is supposed to be in Ballymoney under a tree in the corner of a graveyard. I thought I had looked in every graveyard in Ballymoney but when I saw the list (above) wondered if the Bells or the one for Weir were any relation? Can you help at all? I’d be very grateful. Thanks.

I am looking for any information on a grave in st.james church yard, the headstone is slate, I have saw it but the reading on the headstone is very hard to make out, the grave is of John Kinnard and of liza kinnard and there may be more , I would love to find out all about it, also a place called Tullaghor, I used to live in the lane many years ago and my auntie Telly Parkhill used to have a farm just down the road from us, I was a child of 4 so I did not know any history of the place, but I would love to find out all about it now, If you can direct me in the right place to find this out, this would solve a lot off problems for me.
thankyou.

I am interested in the Wilie/Wylie burials. I was hoping to find Buck burials cataloged as well and am at a loss to find that family in Ballymoney at all, although the American immigrants came from there around 1818. The Wylies would have been the immigrants’ maternal kin.

Hi Pat,
The Woodsides mentioned are my direct relations and are from the Strone, near Dervock and Gortconny, near Ballycastle.
Where does your Woodside interest lie?

To Pamela Lavery re Wylie query
One Wylie family in the churchyard are my direct ancestors and I have information on the other.
Buck is not a name which I have ever come across in the area. What else do you know about your Wylie family as there were more in the Ballymena area?

Hello Dorothy
Re:-The WOODSIDE’
I am descended from ISAAC WOODSIDE born about 1814 and MARGARET DAVISON born about 1815. They emigrated to Liverpool England with their daughter ELLEN born 1839 between 1839-1841. ISAAC had a brother HUGH born about 1817 who was living with them in 1841 & 1851 and maybe a brother JAMES born about 1811 and a JOHN born about 1798. I originally thought they were from Holywood Co Down. We know JOHN WOODSIDE was in Cultra in 1846 as his daughter JANE married JAMES HOUSTON in 1846 at Hollywood. Jane was from Cultra and JAMES HOUSTON was from Ballymoney.
All these WOODSIDE’s lived close to each other in Everton, Liverpool, England.
Recently a DANIEL WOODSIDE born 12th January 1884 from Ballycastle has come to light. His father was a JAMES WOODSIDE who was a Farmer and was deceased by 1904.
I believe DANIEL & his father JAMES are related to our family as my Mum told me in 1986 that her father had an Uncle in Ireland but he was dead at that date.
Daniel married in Cornwall in 1904. He was a Seaman.
We know he had two sisters in USA.
I have located three voyages for Daniel as a Seaman (Fireman) between 1920-1922.
Daniel appears to have “disappeared” around 1927 and I have been unable to find a Death in England for him up until 1955. He may have gone back to Ireland.
I have found DANIEL on the RAMOAN PARISH CHURCH ROLL of HONOUR 1914-18 GREAT WAR serving in the Duke of Cornwall Light Infantry.
Having found that Daniel was from Ballycastle I now think that ISAAC & HUGH may have come from the Ballycastle area.
I don’t know how many brothers & sisters were left in Ireland when ISAAC & HUGH went to England.
At the moment I am interested in any information you may have on DANIEL WOODSIDE & his father JAMES WOODSIDE who we know are from Ballycastle.
Regards

Hello Dorothy
Regarding my WOODSIDE’s I have just found out that DANIEL and his parents JAMES & SARAH were from CARNDUFF. At least they were there in 1884 when Daniel was born.
Would there be any connection to your WOODSIDE’s?
Regards
Pat Berry
By: Pat Berry on September 16, 2009

Hi Pat,
I have found the family of James Woodside (1808-1885) and Sarah Kirkpatrick (1839-1894) who lived at Carnduff, nr Ballycastle. They had four children Sarah 1870, Samuel 1873, Robert 1876 and Daniel 1884. I don’t know much else about them.
I haven’t worked out as yet who their parents were as I can’t find a marriage, but he must be connected in some way to the other Woodside families who lived in Carnduff.
Will keep looking
Dorothy

Hello Dorothy
Thank you very much for all that information. I had been looking around 1850 for the Births of James and Sarah. I had found a Sarah Kirkpatrick born in 1851 in Ballycastle on the Family Search (LDS) site and thought that may be her. If James was born in 1808 he was 31 years older than her and 76 was Daniel was born.
In the last few days I have found more information and it all seems to be coming together now.
I have now found the Death of James on the Emerald Ancestors site (Wills & Probate) and the LDS site. Sarah’s death is on the LDS site as well.
It was Rev David Palmer who found the Baptism of Daniel Woodside for me last week.
Daniel was living with a Robert & Ellen Woodside in Renfrew Scotland in 1901. I found Robert had married Ellen Rennie from Antrim in 1899 and Marriage Record from “ScotlandsPeople” told me that his father was James Woodside (deceased) and Sarah Kirkpatrick (deceased). Then I knew Robert was Daniel’s brother.
It looks like Robert & Ellen Woodside went back to Ireland 1901/1902 as on the 1911 Irish Census I have found a Robert Woodside aged 9 living with a McGrath family (Robert & Mary) together with a Maggie Rennie aged 11. Robert Woodside & Maggie Rennie are stated as Nephew & Niece of the McGrath’s of 7 Bellisle, DERVOCK.
Ellen Woodside (widow) was living at another address as a servant to the Craig’s (Arthur B & Jane) of 7 Moyair Upper Ballycregagh.
I then found Robert Woodside (Ellen’s husband) had died in Philadelphia USA on 17 Feb 1906. The record on LDS stated his father was James Woodside and mother was Sarah Fitzpatrick of Ireland. His Date of Birth was stated as 24 June 1878. Don’t know if this is correct as I had 26 January 1876 from a previous LDS record.
I have also found a ROBERT WOODSIDE born 1902 on a voyage to Philadelphia USA in 1926 and he gave his contact as his mother ELLEN WOODSIDE of 50 Lake Street Lurgan Antrim.
We have discovered from Emerald Ancestors site that SARAH WOODSIDE was born on 16 June 1870
and she married JOHN MOONEY on 26 November 1910 at Ballycastle Roman Catholic Church.
They may have gone to USA afterwards but I have not found them yet. I have only found Sarah when she was single going to visit a cousin MARY CLARK at Norristown Philadelphia in 1900 and a couple of other visits to USA up to 1910.
I have also found the Civil Marriage of JAMES WOODSIDE & SARAH KIRKPATRICK which was on 1 July 1873 at Ramoan Parish Church. The record does not have the names of James & Sarah’s fathers. I’m not sure if the original entry will have more details. This was on Emerald Ancestors site.
I would like to know who JAMES WOODSIDE’s father was as it looks like he may be the brother of my GG Grandfather ISAAC WOODSIDE who was born about 1814.
I hadn’t come across SAMUEL born 1873 and haven’t found him anywhere yet.
Did you find JAMES & SARAH in Ballymoney Graveyard?. I had asked Rev Palmer where would the most likely Burial place be and he was going to get back to me after this weekend.
Look forward to hearing anything else you may find.
Thanks again for all your help.
Regards
Pat

Hello Dorothy,
My great grandfather was William Woodside (m: Margaret Jane Frazer) and his father was Samuel Woodside (m: Jane Creighton). It is my understanding that his father was Samuel Woodside, b: 1761 in Carnduff, Ballycastle. He apparently died on June 22, 1824 and is buried with his wife in Ramoan Old Graveyard (Ramoan Presbyterian Church in Ballycastle). My question is, do you happen to know who this Samuel married and when?? Also, do you know who his father was. I’m thinking Pat Berry and I might have a connection with the Woodside’s during this Samuel’s generation.
Thank you so much,
Barbara

Hi Barbara,
Samuel Woodside (1761-1824) was married to a Margaret ?
There were a lot of Woodside families about in the early 1800s but the records are poor. I have this William with 3 possible sons – your Samuel, a James who married a Mary Hunter and a Robert.

I am wondering exactly what the book lists. It says index, but is there a listing of the wording on the gravestones? Is the book for purchase?
By: Carol McCrellias on October 25, 2009
at 11:37 pm
The index lists the names found in the gravestones and the text written about the individual families.
There is a photograph of each gravestone and the writing in the gravestone. Some of the gravestones are unreadable to the naked eye but I have managed to transcribe many by using different light, local family knowledge and all the old records available in the area.
Also I have produced 300+ family trees showing many of the inter relationships with other families in the churchyard and the area.
You can purchase the book via this web site – check at the top in the section “buy book”.
If people buy my book I am happy to send them a much fuller tree than the outline which is presented in the book. The book is over a kilo in weight and I had added all my local knowledge of families it would be double the size!

Hi Dorothy
I am so please that you have located them in St Patrick’s churchyard, If you could send me any information on them I would be most grateful ie. grave numbers, plan of graveyard etc.
I never saw my granparents and have been trying to trace them for years now. I know he was a showman running old time amusements all over Ireland, I have copies of paper cuttings of shows at Down and Bushmills. He play under Sir Henry Wood at Queen’s Hall London and was the world’s champion tin-whistler having won the championship at Newport Isle of Wight.
They both lived and die at Newbuildings North Ballymoney. If you would any more details I would be happy to help.
PS could tell me when the new book is out ?
Best regards

Hi Dorothy,
I was very excited when I found out about your book and was delighted to find at least three names I am researching in the index.
However, I am a bit nervous as one of the names I am researching is Smith/Symth. I have been trying to trace them in Australia, and feel I aged about 20 years trying to find them. Thomas Smith/Smyth married Sarah Clements in 1887 in Antrim. Thomas the son of Henry and Jean was (according to his Australian death certificate born in Scotland. Sarah daughter of James and mother unknown was born in Ireland. Their daughter (Mary Ann Smith) married a Joseph Donagh(e)y in Antrim before coming to Australia to join her family. All their surnames appear in the Burial Index. I am in a dilemma, do I purchase your book and hope they are the branch of the family I seek, or, not purchase your book and wonder if I they are the people I seek. There is a coincidence.
Can you give me a hint that these might be the families I am looking for.
Regards
Kerrie

What a lot of work! My names are Steen/Thompson,thomson. Alex T and Catherine S were married in Dervock circa 1840, went to USA 1871 after having children in Ireland, moving to Greenock for the wool trade, I think, and having one more daughter, Agnes Thompson, in that town in Scotland. I just would like to fill in some more names, so will order your book, gladly. Perhaps woolen mills were situated nearby, in Ireland.
