I'm seeking information on an ancestor, William Cameron of Islandmagee. He was probably born somewhere between 1820 and 1835, based on the date of the marriage of a daughter, Martha, in 1885 to Hill Wilson, in Ballycarry Pres Church. There are two William Camerons listed in Griffith's Valuation, one in Cloghfin, the other in Temple Effin, but I need information to help narrow down the search.

Noticed your Cameron link with Islandmagee. Can't help with your request at moment, but thought I would share following, which may tie with your Camerons at some point:
I have a James Lillie (believe Lilley) marriage in Ballycarry Presbyterian Church on 14 5 1874 to an Ann Cameron from Islandmagee. Her father was a William Cameron. One witness to marriage was a James Cameron.

Thanks for the reply. My own search has shown quite a few Camerons in Islandmagee and at present I a attempting to unravel the links between the various Cameron families and the Wilson families in particular. There is a record of an Anne Jane Cameron, born Braidisland, (also known as Broadisland), Islandmagee, on 5 September 1851; father William Cameron, mother Anne Jane Cameron, (nee McAuley). I can't confirm that this is the same Anne Cameron noted in your reply, but she in in the right age bracket.
A James Cameron was born to the same parents on 15 June 1843, he could have been the witness referred to in your note.
Anne and James were both christened in 1st Islandmagee Presbyterian Church, which is about 6km from Ballycarry Presbyterian Church.
I'll follow up the Cameron-Lilley link at my next visit to the NI PRO in a few weeks time.
Best regards

Just remembered that Ann Cameron Lilley died in Scotland and I have her death details. Her parents were noted on same as William Cameron and Ann Jane Cameron nee McAuley, so looks like she was the Ann Jane Cameron born Braid/Broadisland that you have suggested. Age at death would also tie with the 1851 birth.
Ann or Annie as she seems to have been know, moved to Scotland with her husband in late 1800's. At 1891 Census, visiting with them from Ireland were a William Cameron aged 23 and a Mary Cameron aged 18 (brother/sister or husband/wife - not noted).

My search to date has shown that the William and Anne Cameron in question had at least three other children, as follows;
Thomas McAuley Cameron, b 20/11/1848
Martha Cameron, b 22/3/1854
Margaret Cameron, b 5/12/1856.
On the birth and baptism record of Thomas the parents resided in the village of Gransha, Islandmagee. At the time of birth of the other children the parents were recorded as residing in the townland of Braid/Broadisland, Islandmagee. The children were baptised in 1st Islandmagee Presbyterian Church.
So far I have only searched the Cameron births as far as 1860, so I may well locate the others mentioned in your reply.
