Thanks,

I’ve found out quite a bit about the family already!

I hadn’t realised Annie was Martha Ann, exciting to find them in Scotland.  Not too far from us 🙂

Hope you can follow instructions for finding other names you are looking for!

The District is what is important.

The 1851 data is a fragment from the 1851 census which survives but the John Chambers that you are looking for could be in a place where records have been lost.

Remember that if John and Mary died in Scotland, their death certificates should provide their parents names ( if these were known to the informant). This can be helpful, as their Irish marriage only names their fathers.

A death to consider, potentially father of Mary

John Esdale aged 85, died 1880 at Frocess, Dundermot (so near Clogh/Clough). Certificate can be viewed at irishgenealogy site linked in earlier post on this thread.

A John Esdale was also at Frosses townland (Frocess in above death) at time of Tithe Applotment in 1834.

A different John Esdale, but potentially related, was noted in the press as manager of Balnamore Spinning Mill in nearby Ballymoney (at least c 1900, possibly before/beyond):

Hi
Thanks you two, very interesting!
I’ll be busy looking at these today.

I have already found the mother’s death certificate in Scotland which is helpful.
