PAUL's in Ballymena

[lanarman]

Thanks Rosemary Joan:
John I. Paul named one of his younger Canadian born sons Archibald. So its possible that the William and Archibald you list in Knockanully are John I. Paul's brothers who stayed behind in Ireland, ie. sons of "old Moses". I should try writing letters to some of the Pauls in Ballymena to make contact and see if any of them have a family tree.

Someone may find this useful.  I'm not a Paul researcher but one of the daughters of Moses Paul/Eliz Hyndman married into the Millar/er line I'm researching.  I noted these entries in 2007 while visiting the PRONI.

MIC 1P/76 – Broughshane #1 & #2
     1837, 24 May Joseph chr, son of Moses and Mary Paul of Lisbreen
     1838, 7 Jan John chr, son of Moses and Elizabeth Paul of Lisbreen
      1838, 4 Dec Jas Brown chr, son of Moses & Sarah Paul
      1839, 1 Dec Ann Jane chr, dau of Moses & Nancy Paul of Lisbreen

Good Luck

Thanks, GeneDigger.
The 1838 entry for James Brown Paul born to Moses and Sarah (McAuley/McCullough??) is a good possibility to be related to my Pauls. If only they had recorded the maiden names of the wives- it would have helped with our research today!
best regards,

Hi

This is a brief excerpt from a long family history written by one of my relatives in the 1930s.  It may be of help.

All the best
Christopher


Billy's daughter, Nancy Crawford (l8O3 - l809) married James Kernohan,
brother of John Crawford's first wife. She lived all her married life in
Legnagolly, Martinstown, Co. Antrim and died there. Nancy had five children:
Elizabeth, Margaret, Ann, Robert, William.

Ann died young. Robert never married. He died in America.

William married Ann Brown. They had no children and are both dead many years
ago. Elizabeth married John McClintock. They lived at "The Birney Hill" or
near there in the First Broughshane district anyway. Elizabeth died in 1911
aged 84 - born 1827.

The names of her children are:

Nancy, born 1848 married John Montgomery
James, born 1851
William, born 1854, married a Miss Paul.
Robert born 1856, married a Miss Paul also.
Ann born 1859, married Mr. McVicker
Martha, born 1861, married a Mr. Ross
Margaret, born 1864, married Archibald Paul.
Elizabeth, born 1867, unmarried.

I am researching Moses Paul b. 1805 d. 28 Nov 1900 buried in First Broughshane Presbyterian Church.  Would like to know if the family history mentioned in earlier post contains any references to this Moses Paul.  One of his sons was Archibald Paul b. 1863 d. 12 Jun 1936 married to Margaret McClintock.  The marriage record of this Moses Paul names his father as Archibald Paul.  From other posts, it appears that a Moses Paul went to Canada and was born the same year as this man.  Has anyone sorted these men out?

Hello Weaver2:

All the info. I have is in the previous posts. I wish I knew more. Obviously the 2 Moses are not the same person but perhaps they were first cousins. Only a guess.  Only a deeper search into the church records might sort out all these Pauls.

Has anyone placed the children of Moses Paul/Elizabeth Hyndman of Lisbreen, Co Antrim  in Kendall County, IL or Cook County, IL by 1860?

While searching church records online, I found numerous PAUL, BLAIR and McAULEY families married and evaluated by Griffith, in Aghadowey, Co. Derry. There is a Ballymenagh Townland listed in Aghadowey parish and I wonder if I have been searching for my PAULS in the wrong Ballymena?

Example- my GG Grandfather John I. Paul was married to Sarah Grace Blair in (we think) 1842. There are 3 marriages listed for a John Paul in Co. Derry in 1839, 1840 and 1845.

Their children- we have Martha born 1843, John born 1845, William born 1849 and Nancy born 1847. Online, these children born to a father named John, are Elizabeth born 1841, John born 1843, William born 1846 and Nancy born 1848, all in Co. Derry. Close but not exact.

Moderator- could this message be posted on the Co. Derry board as well?

Thank you.

There are 2 townlands called Ballymenagh in Co. Londonderry- the one in Aghadowey parish and another in Desertoghill. Ballymena(gh) means "middle townland" and there are numerous ones in many counties so it wouldn't be a good idea to post on another board or move this thread at the moment.
If you check www.thecore.com/seanruad under both spellings you'll see how many there are and where they are located.

Civil registration of marriages in Ireland started in 1845 (for non-Catholic marriages) so any actual records before that date are church records and not all church records survive.
Not sure where you've gotten this-

Example- my GG Grandfather John I. Paul was married to Sarah Grace Blair in (we think) 1842. There are 3 marriages listed for a John Paul in Co. Derry in 1839, 1840 and 1845.

John PAUL m.1840 Co.Derry to Sarah Kennedy and there is an 1845 marriage to a Margaret All (possibly Auld).
Paul, Blair and McAuley are all common surnames in Ulster so unfortunately they don't help pinpoint a location.
