 You have more info on Sinclairs than I have. I had only found William 1884 to Thomas Sinclair and Mary Black,and I only got that far because it was Blacks who were my main interest.
Their parents were Joseph Black and Matty Weir alias Craig (Thought at first she was a widow,but it turned out she was born 1834, the illegitimate daughter of a James Craig and ??? - possibly Weir.She must have been reared as Weir by Joseph Weir - he is recorded as her father on the marriage cert.Joseph Blacks father is Joseph Black too)
Some years ago my niece's husband was researching Blacks and he arrived at the conclusion that Joseph Black was born 1822 in Kildress Co Tyrone. I have never been able to prove this.There are literally thousands of Blacks in Tyrone,and yes there are Josephs,but I can't pin one down to 1822 +/- 5yrs. There's already confusion about his age. On 1901 census he was born 1833. On 1911 census he was born 1825 and 1831 according to his marriage cert. (which I think is the right one)My mother knew he was a very old man when he died in 1916. (my grandmother Elizabeth (Black) Mc Dowell was 90 when she died)My grandmother (Elizabeth) and her brother Joseph Black and sister Agnes,who died when she was 3 years old, were registered as born in Derriaghy. (Dunmurry R.O.) I cannot find where Jane b 1857 (Irwin), Mary b 1858,( Sinclair) and Margaret 1863 (Shirlow), her sisters, were born.
Elizabeth Black married William John Mc Dowell and had Joseph,John,Elizabeth,Martha,Mary,Jane,Agnes (my mother) and William at Lambeg.(Joseph Black - her father - lived with them at Lambeg on 1901 and 1911 census)
Re Joseph Black - I think he was born 1831 to Joseph Black and Martha Martin -  Dromara Presbyterian,but I have to work on that to prove it. Hope we can exchange info on Blacks in future.

OK I found this little snippet on one of the notes about Blacks. The Blacks in Tyrone were so numerous that families had "nicknames"to separate them. The presbyterian Blacks of Kildress/Oritor area(where our Blacks MAY have come from) were known as "Roe" Black.
Doesn't help really,but Just thought I'd pass it on.
We came to Australia in 1955. I started doing a family tree so as my grandchildren would know something of their Irish background.
I have one brother still in N. I.in Dromore Co. Down.
Hope we can keep in touch. Agnetta (Betsy Harper)

Hi Guys,
I'm related to Blacks of Tyrone (possibly kildress/cookstown) area as well. I would like to stay current too. Have you guys read the book "roots in ulster soil"?
Thanks,
Jay

My 3rd Great Grandfather was Alexander Larmour who died before 1849. His son Samuel born abt 1824 married Ann Jane Seaton born abt 1824 on 21 November 1849 at Lisburn Civil Registrars Office. Address given for Samuel was Derrykillultagh, Ballinderry, Lisburn, Co Antrim. 5 of a family that I know of Margaret Ann, Elizabeth, Sarah Jane, Samuel and ? . Samuel my Great Grandfather married Mary Jane MacFarlane/McFarland.

Would anyone have any information on any of these rellies?

Hi, I realize it's a bit late to reply to the OP here, but this Alexander Larmour possibly appears in my own records. Eliza Larmour daughter of Alexander Larmour married in 1853, also at the registry office (any idea why would be interesting), Joseph who here is recorded McCaghley but from the records of the children is clearly Joseph McCarthy. One of their later children Elizabeth was born in 1866, and Maria Jane in 1868. Maria and Margaret are in the 1911 census living in house 31, Ballinahinch Road, Lisburn, Antrim, along with older sister Elizabeth. What is clearly the same household is at house 31 Largymore Place in 1901 with rather more optimistic ages (Maria 21 rather than 32)! An older brother Joseph was still living with his siblings then.

Two other children of the older Joseph McCarthy were likely born to Eliza as well, Isabella and Thomas who both married in October 1878 a day apart from each other. To Francis Smiley and Sarah Neill respectively.

The younger Joseph McCarthy (from 1901 census above) married in 1906 with Maria McCarthy and Thomas Smiley present (likely the son of above Isabella). Joseph and Anne (Annie) were in Young St. Lisburn in 1911, like his sisters Joseph has a more authentic age in 1911 of 45 (just 30 recorded in 1901).

The elder Joseph McCarthy married a second time in 1872, to Jane Cord formerly Jane Weir. That's not so relevant to the Larmour story, but this thread also mentions Weirs around Lisburn, so in case there's a link, here's some more. Jane was the daughter of Abraham Weir, and in fact he died in Lisburn in 1879, in Haslem's Lane with Joseph McCarthy present. The same record page the entry above in fact has Joseph's grandson's death recorded, George Smiley son of Isabella. Abraham's wife was likely Mary Weir who died in 1878 also at Haslem's Lane. It seems the Weirs were probably not from Lisburn originally, they might have been at Annahilt per Jane Cord's address, maybe they only moved when she married again. In any case for Jane's child by her first marriage to Thomas Cord, Charlotte Cord was born in Ballyhassey in 1868 with Mary Weir present. Or they may have been from Newtownards, as an earlier birth of Thomas Cord in 1866 was at Wallace's St. No. 2 (died that same year). Charlotte was still living with her mother in 1901 at 152 Blythe St in Belfast.

Joseph McCarthy died in 1884 at Young Street with his daughter Isabella Smiley present. Isabella's daughter Margaret had died just four days previous on Christmas Eve aged 2 and daughter Elizabeth aged 4 two weeks before that from Whooping Cough.

Hopefully that adds to the background for anyone looking into the Larmours or Weirs in Lisburn. I've more on the McCarthy family and descendants - the records above are a bare outline. They lived at Tanyard lane 1875-1876, maybe 1872-1875 too but no records between 1872 marriage and Jane McCarthy born 1875 (died 1876, Mary Jane McCarthy).
