If you can give us some dates it would help us suggest were you can look for more information. Will move this to proper board (rather than Ireland-General) if you'll let me know what county this Killogue is in.

Hi,
I have found
23 Oct 1853 Adam McClure married Margaret Tweed in Kilraughts 1st Presbyterian Church, Ballymoney, Co. Antrim.
I cannot find John McClure but I suppose he was born before official registration started in 1864.
Regards

The are lots of McClure in Kilraughts area (outside Ballymoney) so if megbe can confirm dates or other information that ties in with the McClure-Tweed marriage we might be able to find more.

Hi,
Thanks for reply,
The John McClure I'm interested in was my Grandfather.. He died 25th feb 1929 and I think he was 73 years old. His marriage was probably April 5th 1905 . His wife was Elizabeth B.Clarke . She died Jan. 24th 1922 aged 49 . They had three children.. I am interested in getting details of both their parents... I think John's father was Adam McClure and his mother may have been Mollie Tweed . "lizzie" Clarke's mother may have been Eliza Boyd. Other possible McClure's in Adam's family were John McClure died Dec 1875, William died Jan 1897 and James who died May 1898. Don't take these dates as accurate although I think they are fairly close.
Hoping to hear from you

Thanks Kingskerswell, You details fit very well, The Elizabeth you mentioned would be my maternal grandmother who had two sisters Anne or Anna who married Adam Loughridge and Maggie who married Bleakley.. Was there any mention of a brother...not too sure about this.. sorry about the mistake in direction...obviously it didn't deter you but going from Ballymoney to Ballymena is south not north...
Regards Megbe.

Hi,
Sorry, no mention of a brother in Emerald Ancestors or on the IGI. However the former only does births up to 1875 and the latter to about 1885. Don't worry about the direction mishap, Aghadowey says the church is just outside Ballymoney and that good enough for me. I further checked on Annie and the family were still at Castlequarter when she was born. I do not know where this is.
Regards

Castlequarter is civil registration district that covers Kilraughts.
Have McClure connection from Kilraughts that should be visiting aunt on Friday and will try to see if she knows any thing about this McClure family.

Just to confuse us a bit more there seem to be McClures in Killogue:
"Administration (with the Will) of the personal estate of James M'Clure late of Killogue County Antrim Farmer who died 31 May 1898 granted at Belfast to John M'Clure of Killogue Farmer the Brother." (www.proni.gov.uk)
However, here's an intersting one from Dervock (which is not far from Kilraughts):
"Administration (with the Will) of the Estate of James McClure late of Stroan Dervock County Antrim Farmer who died 17 November 1911 granted at Belfast to Adam Wales McClure Horse Dealer and Farmer"
Added Note: Adam Wales McClure m.24 June 1908 Minnie Brown Boyd (187_-5 Apr.1953) & had family.

Hello Aghadowey,
You have been working hard I see.. The Killogue address is definitely the correct one for my connections . Don't know that Dervock has any connection.... Any ideas for John and James's father who I believe to be Adam McClure married to Mollie Tweed although the 1911 census states that John's mother lived with him then ( she would have been in 80's at that time) but he entered her name as Mary.This also means that his father was already dead before 1911. There has been a post of Adam McClure married to a Margaret Tweed,in 1853 which is an OK.date but can Mollie,Margaret and Mary all be variations of the same person?? I'm not sure..I will keep digging!!

Megbe,
I have double checked my McClure/Tweed marriage and noticed that I misspelled the name. The marriage I mentioned was Adam McLure to Margaret Tweed.
I then checked further and found an Adam McClure who married Mary Fee in Belfast Registrar's office, Shankill, Belfast on 4 Aug 1855.
My apologies for the error.
Regards

I also have McClures of Kilraughts. my great Grandfather born circa 1821 son of William and died 1897 at Lisnisk. His second marriage was to My great grandmother Mary Jane Hart in 1877 at Ballymoney Reformed Presbyterian church - his residence at this time was Lisboy. They had several children -William married Martha Chestnut-Jane Married Adam Elliott and my grandmother Sarah Married David Alexander He Also had a son Robert born 1888 and living at Kilraughts in 1911 census.
I should like to find out more about the family and also to find out if the Ballymoney Reformed church records have been filmed or on Fiche

Welcome to Rootschat, Sally. As far as I know the records for Ballymoney Reformed Presbyterian Church have not been microfilmed and are still in local custody.
