Ramoan Parish registers start 1838- http://registers.nli.ie/parishes/0388

You could try neighbouring parishes but it may be that no records for a baptism exist.

Thank you Aghadowey   can you advise of any other sites besides the parish registers that may contain a birth date  for Patrick Fleming.  I have already checked  parish registers. I would be very grateful.  :)

A baptism record is probably the only place you would get an approximate date of birth (usually date of baptism not birth will be listed).

Aww disappointed  :(  Looks like I've come to the end of my paternal tree  but thank you Aghadowey for your help,  Since joining rootschat in such a short time I have been able to  fill in important gaps,  that I have struggled  with for several years.  Due to name change. 

                                         Cheers   :)

Don’t give up just yet, you have your family tree information but we don’t know your sources or coverage so at the risk of duplicating. 
Your name is really rare and appears to have variants
McGlame, McGlamery, McGlamry, McGleam, McGleme
just like ffleming, fflemming fleming, flemming, which I leave to last with little to add
I found all sorts of possibilities to connect

other spellings found

Notes You wont be able to contact the tree owners until you become a member., or perhaps you are
one of them already. The 1800 Carnmoon reference is almost definitely to the townland of that name in Ballycastle administration zone and Ramoan civil parish. Other Carnmoon exist eg in Billy parish and one in Co Down.

So within the limitations of just these records your Patrick’s father could be a John or Neal

pt 2
Its easy to speculate on changes of names. Introducing a benevolent landlords name/ national hero, local hero, or a wifes name all seem to have happened. another is someone changed their religious denomination to the ire of the older family, or a younger brother in a catholic family by becoming a protestant acquired the land.  I checked irish saint names in case introduced at christening or confirmation without success.   

studying the irish census 1901 and 1911 one finds all the likely McGlame are catholics with exceptions eg the interpretation of irish church is apparently used for Church of Ireland.
1901 3 in Moneygobbin (Enagh, Antrim) Ballymoney civil parish
McGlame John b~1841 60 Male Head of Family Irish Church Co Antrim Surface Man Read - Married -Mary XXXXXX b~1841 60 Female Wife Irish Church Co Antrim
children
Mc Glame George b~1871 30 Male Son Irish Church Co Antrim Farm Labourer Read and write - Not Married -
1911 census  8 in Seacon More (Seacon, Antrim) Ballymoney civil parish
McGlame George  b~1864 Church of Ireland Antrim Agricultural Labourer m~1902
Martha XXXXX 40 Church of Ireland had 2 elderly boarders Mary Wright a Widow , Margaret Young
then I found I had missed a census entry
1901  3 in Carnmoon (Ramoan, Antrim) see 1911 census McGlame14 in Gortconny (Ramoan, Antrim)
Mc Gleam Robert 47 Roman Catholic Co Antrim Carpenter m Catherine XXXXX 50  Roman Catholic Co Antrim - children
Mc Gleam Robert 26 Roman Catholic Co Antrim Carpenter
Mc Gleam William 17 Male Son Roman Catholic Co Antrim Butcher
Mc Gleam Francis 15 Male Son Roman Catholic Co Antrim Scholar
Mc Gleam James 11 Roman Catholic Co Antrim Scholar


Long Rosetta 53 Female Visitor Roman Catholic Co Antrim Dressmaker Read and write - Not Married -
an incomplete record filed by parish only exists for 1824-1837 The Tithes Applotment books
eg http://www.irishgenealogyhub.com/antrim/tithe-applotments/derrykeighan-
parish.php#.V5XA61eoc5Q
McGleme, Danl.   Townland: Chathamhall Year: 1827
eg http://www.irishgenealogyhub.com/antrim/tithe-applotments/ramoan-parish.php#.V5UD9Veoc5Q http://www.irishgenealogyhub.com/antrim/tithe-applotments/ramoan-parish.php#.V5UD9Veoc5Q
has no Fleming or mcglame 1833

I remain stumped by no records appearing in griffiths valuation using askaboutireland.   my favourite quick index that adds variant spelling is not searchable today ie http://www.failteromhat.com/griffiths.php or they are under fleming perhaps.
goodluck

Hi BallaltikilliganG I am in awe :o at the amount of information you have given. I was so perturbed at with the paternal side of family because I was kept hitting a brick wall.  I had searched on ancestry later Genes Reunited and Scotland's People. Giving up and concentrating on my Husbands fathers side of the family but since discovering rootschat recently solved the name change. I found Patrick 1842  and his children on the Parish register Ramoan  Ballycastle. I am now elated at the thought I can go back further.  Please  can you advise if I should resign up to Ancestry Ireland first or the Ulster Historic Foundation. 
                               Thank you  ;D ;D

Hello, my 3rd great-grandmother is Elizabeth McGlame/Fleming, depending on which of her children's birth records I look at. Fleming on my 2nd great-grandmother's record. I thought, perhaps, she'd been married before, but today I found her birth record as McGlame and couldn't read the address. When I searched for the address, I found some UK based trees with a sibling known as Hugh Fleming McGlame. I've sent a message asking if the owner of the tree knows where Fleming comes from. I haven't been able to find anything father than Patrick and Jane Rodgers, the parents. Perhaps Fleming was the maternal line for Patrick? But I find it odd that there are others that flip flopped between McGlame and Fleming.

Have you found anything more on this since your original posts?

is this coincidence, welcome jessi, i wonder if you are mentioned below under Genes Reunited below

Carrter
I spotted I never replied to yours of 25 July 2016, my apologies.  So I turn the  ;D ;D on myself
if you did proceed well on ye. if you didn’t get much help

 I have searched again

my advice now would  be join Genes Reunited

I remain stumped by no records appearing in griffiths valuation using askaboutireland.
 other than

I also tried tithes in Ramoan civil parish county see http://www.irishgenealogyhub.com/antrim/tithe-applotments/ramoan-parish.php#.WqD6wmacapg
and found nothing, I widened that to the County
McGleme, Danl.-Townland: Chathamhall Year: 1827-Derrykeighan-Antrim that’s two parishes away
McGleme, Danl.-Townland: Chathamhall Year: 1827-Donegore –Antrim that’s nine parishes away

Genes Reunited has a

That's me...I tried to contact someone else who has McGlame/Fleming contradictions. I haven't heard back yet. I imagine Fleming is a surname beyond their parents, but it's odd that they use it seemingly randomly. Elizabeth used McGlame on several birth records for her children, but she used Fleming on a few-including on my 2nd great-grandmother's.

I was given help by a moderator on Rootschat who discovered birth and marriage of my Grandfather and Great Grandfather under the name of Fleming.  What I have been told is that around that time Irish would have been widely spoken and Fleming in Irish is spelt Fhleamain and pronounced Mc    Glamen...
