Parkers 1800-1900 Antrim
« on: Tuesday 01 June 10 01:05 BST (UK) »
Can anyone help me with the details of the "Parkers" in Connor, Ballymena, Kirkinriola and Kildrum between the years 1800 -1900.
Thanks

Hi,
    Do you have any idea of first names and dates? I have records of almost 500 Parker marriages in Co.Antrim and the first 25 have 5 Parkers married in Connor Presbyterian Church.

Thank you.
My Gt Grandfather was John Parker born 1823 Connor. I believe there was a brother, Nathaniel. My Grandfather Robert Parker was born 1857 in Ballymena. John Parker was one of a number of siblings of whom I have no knowledge. I think John's father was named Robert. It would stand to reason that all Parker's married in the Connor Presbyterian Church are related. I would appreciate all the information you can send me. This may be the breakthrough I have been looking for.
Kind Regards
Eddie Parker

Eddie,
        I will give the first lot of information now and follow it up with more later.

27 Apr 1850 Robert Parker married Anne Graham in Ballymena Registrars office. A parent search on the IGI gives one child for this couple, Robert, Christened in Connor Presbyterian Church on 27 Apr 1850. From Ancestry Ireland I was able to find that Robert Parker's (Sen) father was Simon.
        I found two other Parker marriages where  the father was Simon:-
14 Dec 1847 Robert Hill to Elizabeth Parker in Connor Presbyterian Church
15 Mar 1849 William Parker to Mary Ann Montgomery Connor Presbyterian Church.

Eddie,
         If you look at Wills on www.proni.gov.uk you will find the death of a Robert Parker of Kells who died on 29 Mar 1884. Will was proved by Robert Parker and Simon Parker.
Also if you look at the Griffiths Valuation on www.askaboutireland.ie enter PARKER as family name, ANTRIM as county and CONNOR as parish it will give the names of the head of household and details of property of all Parkers in the parish.

Have been reading your post on the Parker family with great interest. My gr/grandmother Matilda Parker was born about 1821 according to her death. She married Robert Ingram C-1840  and died in 1894. I have been unable to connect her to Parkers in the area due to lack of records. They farmed at Ferniskey and all their children were baptised at Connor Pres' Church.

I have the gravestone records of St Saviors Church at Connor. One goes back to the 1700s but a later one records a John Parker who died in 1884 whom I thought could  be yours.
                        Regards Heather

Heather,
             Have you seen the Robert Ingram of Ferniskey who died in 1884 in the PRONI Will Calendars?

No, haven't been into Proni....someone looked it up for me once but must have a good look. Would you by any chance have a Matilda Parker among yours. Never been on this site before and am a bit lost.
