I am looking for any information for a Ezekiel Smillie, or Smiley or Smylie or anyother spelling.
I have a birth for a Ezekiel Smillie born 02 July 1868, Dervock, Antrim, Ireland and civil Registration Antrim Ireland. from LDS pilot site.  His parents were Ezekiel Smillie and Bridget Mc Michel.

I am interested is any information available especially for the father like marriage or birth.  Supposedly around Bailymoney County Antrim.

An Ezekiel Smylie died 1900 Ballymoney district age 67 (born c1833)- possibly Ezekiel's (b.1868) father.

There's a Bridget Smylie in 1901 census-

In 1911 census the surname is Smiley-

P.S. although the 1868 birth shows up in civil index the LDS entry is a submitted record which means the parents' names may not be correct
