Afraid it's not that simple. Civil registration of births began in 1864 so there will be no birth certificate. To find church records (if they exist) you need to know where they lived (parish if not actual townland not just 'Antrim') and their religion.
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!

This is interesting. I am looking for a Daniel McNeill born abt. 1812 and married to Mary Darroch so this could be him. It is a great, great, great grandfather. He had a son William
Daniel died in Glasgow on Sep 17 1861

I wonder if we are looking for the same line. Our ancestor line is John 'Jock' McNeill b. 1871 in Glasgow d. 1947 in Edmonton; William McNeill b. 1836, md. to Elizabeth Bryce; Daniel McNeill md. to Mary Darroch; Daniel McNeill md. to Rachel Luke
