I started on a different tack and thought I had the right family until I went back and found Aghadoweys note giving the previous ancestry query. Why do people seeking help withhold information. You should apologise
aallord to us all. As usual elwynsoutter1’s census are spot on, mentioning Nellie, the two Ellen’s and Patrick, all the named in the 1901 as born in America, Ellen in 1911 has changed herself reverting to that she was born in Co Antrim.
In 1861, if you look up
www.askabout ireland and then look up Griffiths valuation you can see a Daniel Lynn’s homestead in Carnagall townland in Loughguile civil parish . it’s a labourers cottage plus land of 11 acres, the boundaries on a map are lookable up, find the townland on the map and it is property map ref No 13. It’s the only homestead in the parish which comes under Ballymoney not the parish but the union of Ballymoney, which also includes the spelling of Linn, one Adam living in Castle st Ballymoney the other Stewart in Drumreagh townland. Going back to Lynns in the union, the list is
LYNN DANIEL ANTRIM KILLAGAN
LYNN DANIEL ANTRIM LOUGHGUILE
LYNN DENIS ANTRIM DERRYKEIGHAN
LYNN ROBERT JOHN ANTRIM BALLYMONEY
LYNN ARCHIBALD ANTRIM BALLYMONEY
LYNN JOHN ANTRIM BALLYMONEY
LYNN JOHN ANTRIM BALLYMONEY
YOUNG ROBERT ANTRIM BALLYMONEY tenant to John Lynn
CHARLEY JOSEPH ANTRIM BALLYMONEY tenant to John Lynn
The next set of public records is the census where I find Carnagall townland [in the civil parish of Loughguile] coming under the district of Corkey. I got confirmation of Corkey being right for Carnagall at
http://www.from-ireland.net/antrim-townlands-ballymoney-1855/ However the same website shows Castlequarter townland, Loughguile parish, Castlequarter Registrars Castlequarter Union, Dunluce Upper BUT Griffiths doesn’t recognize Castlequarter as a union.
So I finally reach the question who was Ellen’s Lynn husband, could it be one of the above Linn or Lynn, so was he a Archibald, Daniel, Denis, John, Joseph Robert, Did you see a copy of Patrick's american birth certificate, or indeed any of the other siblings.
Turning to church records because I found the Carnagall Lynn were catholic I had found out that PRONI Belfast has church records that survive ie

I suggest you visit PRONI or employ someone to look for you.
Another way is to find the ship that they returned on, I had no success on eg
