Thank you for the reply giving all the websites and prior messages.  Many I had read before.  Still hoping someone may have lists/photos of inscriptions to check for me; if not will consider paying to see what Ulster Historical Foundation has or spend a day doing the stone search when I next return to visit.

The website :

http://www.discovereverafter.com/

has records for this cemetery.  At a quick look I could see some Barklies but perhaps not the ones you are seeking. I could see a number of Barklies and Elliotts in Kilbride cemetery which is not far away.  Worth a search.

Quite a few sites from link I posted like http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~rasheeoldcemetery/

Quote: 


Rashee Old Cemetery is outside Ballyclare Co. Antrim Northern Ireland.

During my family research I have discovered people who have been buried there but no headstone exists  today.  As far as I know the Grave Register is not available to the Public so I am looking to put together a list as people buried at the cemetery.

If you know of any one who was buried in Rashee Old Cemetery graveyard then please contact (email address).....




This is a quote from one of the links!! 

Have you contacted that person?

Thank you for the lead to check everlasting site - did not have the ones I want but did give a lead on one  from another Elliott family branch from the Kilbride list.  Having some difficulty getting back to the email for giving list of info on burials at Old Rashee but will try again.

Hello, Sailing9
I am wondering if William Barklie Strange who died in 1866 was the father of Hugh Strange and Mary A. Strange. I have a William B. Strange who is the father of Hugh Strange who married Margaret Gardner and had a son also Hugh who married my Jane Waddell Beggs. Hugh born abt 1826 died in 1907 in Doagh.
I do not have a spouse yet for Mary A. Strange born 1832, maybe it was Elliott.
Hoping to hear from you.
Peggy

Yes, William Barklie Strange was the father of Hugh Stuart Strange, born July 21, 1824.  He married Mary Johnson at First Ballyeaston on September 5, 1823.  His son Hugh had two marriages, first to Margaret Smyth on December 31, 1850 at First Ballyeaston.  They had at least two children who survived, Mary b. about 1851 and Margaret b. about 1853. The first wife Margaret Smyth Strange died sometime in the 1850's.  Then the marriage to Margaret Garner.  I have the rest of Hugh's children, etc. and yes I have that his son Hugh married Jane Wadell Beggs. 
I have a handmade booklet from 1841 - 1842 that we believe belonged to William Barklie Strange.  I think that was the year his wife died.  He had someone write out the date of his marriage and the names and birthdates of all his surviving children.  In the 1950's my grandfather moved back to Northern Ireland and spent a lot of time trying to interview and find Strange relatives.  I have all of his notes and have added a lot of information on the whole family.  Please email me to let me know what information would be helpful for you to have - glad to share.  Also I would like more specifics on your branch.  Hope this helps.

Hi Sailing9,
Would you happen to have parents for Mary Johnson. I have other Johnstons in my tree who may or may not be connected. I only have 2 children for William Barklie Strange - Hugh and Mary A. although I must say that I have not researched the Strange family extensively.
The parents of my Jane Waddell Beggs were Robert Beggs and Jane Beggs nee Beggs.
Hugh and Jane Waddell Beggs emigrated to Canada where Hugh died Sept 25, 1948 in Calgary, Alberta,Canada and Jane died Apr 15,1960 in Orange, California, USA where she went to live with her son Hugh after her husband Hugh died.
Jane's brother Robert also emigrated as did her sister Susan Caroline Lucy Anne.
