HEANEY/JOHNSTON/PEACOCK OF ANTRIM

[paul_mc]

Hi all

My quest continues - I've already posted for help previously regarding my early family history and through help from members of Roots chat have been able to gather a substantial amount of information. I'm sorry but I don't know how to post links to those topics to avaoid duplication and any unnecessary time.

I'm looking for information specifically on the Peacocks (not a name I would have assocated with Ireland, but what do I know) the Heaneys (who couldnt spell so often its Heney, Henney, Heanie) and the Johnstons.

I'll list what I have in the hope that someone can flesh this out for me and enable me to go further back as right now I have hit a brick.

I have membership on Findmypast and have tried unsuccessfully to find this family on early irish records (brobably my ability to seqrch properly rather than the actual existance of the records)

Any help you could give would be appreciated

Hugh Heaney born @1861 is my ancestor he married Martha Peacock Rasharkin RC Church Ballymoney, Co. Antrim. Heaney written as Heney October 1849 . I have tried so many times to trace a birth or death for Hugh but nothing conclusive. I've almost given up on ever finding the man .

Hi parent were William and Alice Heaney and he had sisters Margaret, Rose, Ally, Jane and brothers William, Henry. - I know nothing about any of them .

I know that Hugh's father William's father was called Henry - but nothing else and I know that his wife Ally's parents were Johnstons - No first names or details I'm afraid.

Martha Peacock - her parents were Alexander and Margaret Peacock - I don'rt know anything else about them .

Any help anyone could give, no matter how small would be really appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Paul

There is a Alexander Peacock renting a house in Ballyrobin in Killead, Antrim off a Thomas Bryson in the Griffith's Valuation. There is also a Henry and an Ellen Peacock in Killead also (relatives?)

Google says Alexander Peacock married a Margaret Lothrick (she was born in 1806)
I have no idea what Lothrick could be? Lothric? This can't be a common surname in Antrim either!

Select Antrim as county and you get the other DISTRICT OFFICES if they were in another District too...

Then those Districts are listed on left  on the link http://www.rootschat.com/links/01n34/   already posted!

Hello Paul, I have Peacocks from a marriage in Craigs ( only 4 miles from Rasharkin) who moved to Renfrew in Scotland . Their son William Peacock married an Agnes Peacock in Renfrew in 1884.
Have you tried Scottish records for your Peacocks?

Well, I thought it would be easy to put in links to previous topics but...

previous post-

I've traced my ancestors back to Hugh Heaney (1854 - 1936)and Mary Ann Heaney (born Mulholland 1861 - 1896) and am noe trying to detail their children.....

Thread about Mary Ann Mulholland- www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=763133

Martha Peacock had been previously married to Hugh Heaney and then on Nov 23 1859 she married Samuel McCallum in Ballymoney Northern Ireland.

4 pages on above thread - reply #5 gives marriage of Hugh Heaney & Martha Peacock in 1849- so why do you now say "Hugh Heaney born @1861 is my ancestor he married Martha Peacock"?

Haven't bothered reading further in that thread or looking for any other links in detail.
