Not sure if this helps any or not, but they are in Plot# A 59 in the "New" cemetery. Also I am new here, so just incase you don't already know, there's an Islandmagee DNA project in the works to document as much info as possible for Islandmagee families. My Boyd's and Templeton's are from Islandmagee as far back as I can go. The DNA testing is through FTDNA, and they are adding as many profiles as they can on WikiTree. The project page on wikitree is here https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Islandmagee_DNA_Group_Project
and the profiles of any test takers ancestors are here https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Category:Islandmagee_DNA_Group_Project
Strangely I don't see any McCalmont's on this list as yet. But they are always adding new people/profiles. I have several McCalmont's in my tree but none that are directly related to me. Apologies if you already know about the project, just thought it might be helpful.

The Belfast Telegraph of Monday 21 November 1977, mentions Jame Stanley McCalmont's death in an item on road death numbers in Ulster. Sadly, he was a motor cyclist hit by a car whilst travelling on the Whitehead - Carrick road on the Saturday, outside the ICI factory at Kilroot. He died at the Royal Victoria Hospital.

KBoyd & scotmum,

Thanks for the replies. Since my post 5 years ago I found the information, forgot to mark it completed.
James Stanley McCalmont was born 25 March 1919 - died 20 November 1977. He was cousin to John (Jack) Davis Templeton.

Keep well.
