I have found the following in the IGI:

John ROY
b. 19 August 1802
Carnmoney, Antrim, Ireland

father:  John ROY

I would appreciate a lookup in the church records for the name of his mother, siblings, a marriage for John (also called Robert)
and for his children.   Sarah was born in 1840 and Robert John was born in
1844.
The family immigrated to the USA in 1847.  They were Presbyterians.

Thank you so much in advance for any information.

Aleks and Christopher,

  Thanks so much for offering help with my ROY family. 

  After years of trying to find a location that my father noted as
 "Onsco"  I am hoping that Annahunshigo is the place where my     
  Roy family originated.   I definitely know that they were from Down as it was mentioned as a birthplace on my great-great grandmother's death certificate. 

  My great-great grandparents were Robert and Margaret Roy.  I know that Robert's parents were John and Margaret Roy.    Robert and wife Margaret immigrated to the US in 1847.   They brought with them children Sarah and Robert John.  My great-grandmother, Elizabeth J., was born while at sea.  After arriving in the US the family settled in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where Robert worked in the steel mills. 

Robert(born Ireland 1805),Margaret A.(born Ireland 1810)

children
-Sarah (born Ireland 1840)

-Robert J. (born Ireland 1844)

- Elizabeth (born 1847 at sea)(MY GREAT GRANDMOTHER)

- William (born 1850 PA)


   Either Robert or Margaret may have had a sister, Jane Warren, (married name) born about 1825 in Ireland.  She and her family lived with the Roy family in the US.

   The family attended a Presbyterian church in Pittsburgh.

   I would appreciate any help that could be offered to find this family in Down.  I have been trying to find them for years.

Thanks,  Carol

 Would anyone be so kind as to check for a maiden name for:

FANNY CALLAWAY, wife of John Thomas Callaway
born 1840 at Sheffield (Anston?)
died Dec quarter of 1893 at Bradford.

Thank you in advance,

Carol Battin

Yes,  the Eliza listed was my great-grandmother,
Elizabeth.  She was born during the immigration voyage in  1847.

  I have noticed in one census year  that Robert, the father,  was listed as "J" for John. 
  I wonder if he was named "John Robert"?
His son was Robert John.

   This makes it more confusing!
