Hi,
   I may be a little confused, but your wife's memory of being born and raised on a farm near Ballymena ties in with the details of a Bamber couple raising a family in the 1870s in the Galgorm district of Ballymena. The same family were still there in the 1911 census. They are described as farmers. There is a head of family, Samuel, age 64 and a son, Samuel age 35 also a farmer, and a grandson, John. The younger Samuel is married but no wife is listed. The elder Samuel is a widow and three daughters are still living at home.

You are spot on kingskerswell, and the younger son is listed as a farmer. What a surprise to find he was a tailor and living in B'fast a few years prior.

This is the first time I've used this site, so bear with me. Samuel Bamber,Sr. is my Great Grandfather. Samuel,Jr. had another sister, Agnes who is my Grandmother,came to the States and settled in Winnetka, Illinois. She died in 1940.

I'd be more than happy to pass on more information to anyone who is interested - -  Steve.

Its a small world on Rootschat.

I actually lived for about 10 years in Sans Souci Park as a child (number 28 for the record) All the houses had numbers then, and there was no "Lodge".

I would agree with earlier posters who said that the original house must have been pulled down to erect the present Sans Souci Park houses, thoiugh the odd thing is that you say the address included "Sans Souci Park" - a possible explanation is that the lode was in the parkland of Sans Souci House. Queens university have since pulled down a number of these houses, including our.

You want to try one of the "old map" services on the web to get the original plan of the area. I have no idea when our house was build, but they were all of a period, and the photo above. Perhaps they were built 1900 to 1925, but I am no expert.

Let me know if youu need any more on Sans Souci Park

Thank you for your comments corisande.
Small world indeed.
In a previous post "your pete" noted he had a map which showed Sans Souci House and a gatehouse/lodge, 1851-1833. From 1883- 1820 the the gatehouse/lodge stood alone as S.S house was gone.

Thanks for your inquiry. As I mentioned, Agnes was my Grandmother. Her parents were Samuel Bamber and Margaret (Boyd) Bamber. Their other children were Belle, John (AKA Jack), Margaret,Mary,Samuel Ned, Sarah. Agnes and Sarah came to the States, married and lived in the State of Illinois. My late Mother Helen, was one of five children of Agnes and George Deily.

I see you hail from Australia and if we are indeed related , you have a distant cousin in NSW. My cousin Pam ( Porter)Blackwell lives (or did at one time) in Mosman. Her father was William Porter, son of Bertha Deily Porter who was a daughter Arnes Bamber Deily. Small world!

As I mentioned earlier, I'm new to this site. I'd love to send you more information and if it's legal, could you send me your address. Thanks - -  Steve.
