I understand a lot of Irish records were destroyed by fire, and so I require assistance as to where I should go from here.
I am searching for Hutchinson’s that are associated with one of these places in Ireland. Kirkinriola, Ballymena, Co Antrim.
The following were born in this part of Ireland.
Andrew Hutchinson who married Jane Miller about 1782. They had a son Andrew born about 1790-99 at Ballymena. Were there other children?
This son married about 1820 Esther McNeice who was born Feb 1802 at Ballymena. Her Father was James McNeice and the mother is mentioned as Martha.
Both Father and son were listed as a boot and shoemaker. Esther McNeice, was the daughter of James McNeice (brickmaker) and Martha
Andrew and Esther's children were Mary, Archibald, Matilda, Robert, Andrew, Sarah Jane and Henry
Andrew, Esther and their children left Belfast in 1838 for Sydney On board the ship "Garrow" Under the care of Andrew were Sarah Ann, niece to Esther ( Mcneice) her age was below 18yrs a sister Mary aged 18 , who came from Belfast ,was also under the care of Andrew Hutchinson. She was listed as daughter of John and Nancy (He was a reedmaker) Mary was listed as a dressmaker.
There were a number of other McNeices on board. Another passenger was Margaret Ellis under the care of a relative. She came from the County of Antrim She married Archibald not long after their arrival in Sydney.
