Hi
as you know I am off to Ballinderry in two weeks and will be doing a lot of Church yards as I am only looking for McKnight's at this stage if any one might have an interest in the area I am willing to make a note of a few other names that I can look out for when I am there .I can also take a look for names that are connected to the Orange Order in the area as my McKnight's were supposed to be connected to that also so If you want a look out for a name I will stick it in my book and keep my eyes open

Audrey: While you are dragging your hubby around the cemeteries, could you have a "wee look" for any Larmours? I would really appreciate it. And good luck on your own searches.
Pat

I see in your list you have the surname "Close"....I am researching the Closes From Belfast...it appears that there are some buried in Mageraghall Church Yard, as well my grt grt grandfather James Watson Close was baptised in the church in 1845....just a note of interest I have Lyttle's buried in one of my Close graves in Dundonald. I have loads of Close info.
All the Best

Hi Wendy
My 2nd Great Grandmother was a Close. Married to Henry MacFarlane (McFarland) on 03 Jan 1866 at Lisburn Reg Office. These are all the details I have so far. I have a photograph of a Close/May grave at Magheragall Parish Church, names are Thomas Richard May, Wilhelmina (Mina) May. Erected by their son Kenneth May. I am assuming that Wilhelmina is a Close. I cannot recall seeing any Close graves at Magheragall Presbyterian. There is the Methodist but I have not been there yet. I do not know of any of our Lyttles' being buried in Dundonald.. . . . yet!
Thanks
Maggie

What a generous offer you have made!! thankyou. I have one unusual name " HENDREN/HENDRON ".will appreciate any reference of then.
There are a number of Hendron's still living in the Ballinderry area - I went to school with two different Hendron children who lived in Ballinderry but weren't immediately related! I could track down contact details for them if you aren't already in touch with them.
As for MaggieBlue - I have a feeling our family branches will cross at some stage - a lot of my family are from Derriaghy and indeed I am in the local Orange lodge there. A couple of similar surnames - Thompson, Morrow appear in my tree and had a long association with Derriaghy Church of Ireland.
Ballinderry wise - I seem to have substantial roots in Ballinderry and a long association with Ballinderry Moravian Church. I visited the PRO for the first time last week to try and find my great grandfather's baptism records for the Moravian church, unfortunately no success but countless other Hill's including I think a brother of his - investigating this possibility at the moment.
Loads of graveyards/churches for the original poster to visit - if you need any help don't hesitate to shout, I only live 5/10 mins away.
Regards,
Mark

Hi Folks
Wendy - Thanks for info. My Great Grandmother was called Mary Jane MacFarlane, born 24/11/1872 Father Henry MacFarlane, Kilcorig, Magheragall and her Mother Margaret MacFarlane formerly Close. I do not have my GGGrandmother/Fathers marriage Cert. They married on the 3 Jan 1866. The Lyttles from Belfast do not ring any bells at the moment but I have making headway with that branch at the moment, so you never know.
Mark - i have a copy of Castlerobin National School register in which there is an Ethel Morrow, date of entrance 15th August 1939, Father Lorry Driver, from Whitemountain. Have copy of her results of examinations/days at school. Also a Mary Morrow and a Evelyn E Morrow. Mean anything to you? I recall my Mum talk of Thompsons, Watsons.
ajjbc - I found a Elizabeth Hendron XXXX, Presbyterian enrolled at this school also. From Collin. Father a Road Foreman. Date of entrance 24th Sept 1935. Have copy of her results of examinations/days at school.
Pat - What Larmours are you interested in connected to?
Looking forward to keeping in touch and sharing information. Many thanks
Maggie
