Recently, I put this on the genforum site with added information. I am in search of additional information on the McCauley family. I have not been able to find anything on Richard McCauley, whose first name might actually be John. I do have a record of three of his daughters, though:
Sarah Jane McCauley married William Robinson, my great-grandfather, at Ballymena 3rd Presbyterian Church; Jenny (or Jennie) McCauley married William Dodds (see below) and Elizabeth McCauley married James Buchanan. I am still presently working on the Buchanan connection. I have a lot of info but haven't had time to put it in order. Is anyone else researching these families?

My grandfather was George McCauley Robinson(1881-1972) of Ardymaugh Rd., Ballyalbanagh, Co. Antrim. He was the son of William Robinson and Sarah Jane McCauley. Sarah Jane McCauley and Jenny McCauley were sisters. When my grandfather emigrated from Northern Ireland to the U.S. in 1899, his passage was paid by William Dodds of Mt. Morris, his uncle by marriage. I am looking for other descendents.
There are a few other McCauley-Dodds marriages that took place in N. Ireland. However, as of yet, I do not know if they are connected or not, although one looks very likely:
John Macauley m. 1883 Martha Dodds at Glenwhirry (Glenwherry) Presbyterian Church. This one has a high possibility of being related due to where the marriage took place.
