Hi Steve:
Not sure if you have this info from the 1851 census but here it is anyway:
Z13 BALLYLORAN TOWNLAND
JAMES GAULT /HEAD/M/35//LABOURER/ANT/
ELIZA GAULT /WIFE/M//27/NONE/ANT/
MARY GAULT /DAUGHTER/U//5/NONE/ANT/
JAMES GAULT /SON/U/1//NONE/ANT/
PEGGY MCCLEAN /LODGER/W//72/NONE/ANT/
PEGGY GAULT /LODGER/U//28/NONE/ANT/
MARTHA HOPKINS /LODGER/U//12/NONE/ANT/

Here is a link to a memorial to Lt. Gault, son of John Gault, Larne
http://larne-in-ww1.irishgenealogy.net/larne_war_mem_GAULT_A%20A.html

It looks like Larne might be the area where the name is more common.

Hope this helps.

Thank you Pat and Annie...

I have found some of them
.......

Ballymather lower town land Killead (1851)

Samuel Galt  head  grocer  age 42 Antrim
Agnes Galt wife age 36
Thomas Galt son 6
James Galt son 5 our g g grandfather married Elizabeth Boyd
Mary Jane Galt  2

Samuel being a grocer fits in with James and Elizabeth's marriage cert but family lore puts their shop between Ballyhenry and Carnmoney also the spelling of Gault can change to Galt then back again.

Not found out what happened to the other siblings either but they could have gone abroad or even more been born  or died:-\

Thank you both for helping ...most appreciated...........as this is one of two brick walls we have

Hi. the Gaults have been in Ulster a long time. From my own family history:-

"The Rev John Grahams 'Derriana' published in 1823 describes a statement from citizens of Coleraine
dated 3rd Feb 1690 which commends the behaviour of Michelburns regiment in the town. Amongst the
signatories are Hugh #1 Bankhead. James Ousteau and John G ........ (illegible)."

and from the Minutes of the Ulster Synod

"On Sept 30th 1691 Hugh #1 Bankhead is recorded as a commissioner from Coleraine together with James
Ousteau and John Gault."

This Hugh's son, another Hugh, married an Elizabeth Gault (Will of Hugh senior dated 4/3/1718)

The same will records Elizabeth Hayland, 2nd wife of Robert Gault of Edindarroc. (Benham's abstracts)

The Bankhead's and Gaults inter-married regularly in Ayrshire before coming to Ulster but I have found no repeat performance in Ulster. I grew up in Banbridge, Co Down and actually went to school with a Linda Gault there in the 1960s

Regards

Matt

Elizabeth 'Hayland' is probably Heyland, another well-known family in Coleraine area.
