There's a Bogtown in Carncastle. As with the Crawford's of Raloo they seem to claim descent from the Cloverhill branch of the family. if you feel that you are conected to Crawford's of Carncastle i'd be glad to hear from you.

Hi Heather,

Thanks for the info I had most of it but there was a couple of bits I didn't have. In the tithing records for 1834 for South Lisnahay there's 4 Crawford's listed two Williams a Samuel and John. I've assumed that one of the William's is the father and the others are his son's. I believe the John is my ancestor.

I'm trying to build a data base of all the Crawford's in the Larne area once I've done a bit more I'll set up a web site and see what else turns up.

I've also tried to establish when the Crawford's arrived in the area, I'm guessing that they all stem from the same source, which appears to be a branch of the Cloberhill Crawford's based on the coats of arms on a couple of graves in Raloo and St Patrick's in Cairncastle. Any thoughts?

Hi Gerald,

Your email address was removed by the moderator.

I'm fairly confident that my Great granfather William Thomas Crawford was born 21 South Lisnahay in 1836. His father John is shown in the 1834 tithes at that address, John would have been 23 years old at that time. I've made the assumption that the other Crawford's around him in South Lisnahay are close relatives but I don't have any proof. Can you add anything?

Hi,

I'm researching my Crawford family from Cairncastle, as far as I can make out they were from Lisnahay South. I'd love to exchange info to see if we tie up.

Hi Emma,

I can't add anything to your search for Benjamin, but I have an interest in his son John. John married into the Pinckard family and after a spell in the marines they moved to Poplar in the East End. In the 1861 census the Pinckard's are using the name Westbury and Sometime after 1862 and before 1871 John adopted the name Dunkley, which you found out was his mothers maiden name. After Johns' death his family reverted to Hillary. My interest is with his friend and work colleague William Thomas Crawford, my ancestor. William also married into the Pinckard family and also used an alias Cummin/g/s but he retained the name even for a subsequent marriage. (My family still continues to use the name today).

Bit of a long shot but has your bosses family have any idea why John adopted an alias?

David ???
