Antrim / Re: McKillop of Glenarm and Larne
« on: Monday 16 January 17 18:23 GMT (UK) »
Hi Hugh,
Thanks for the quick reply. And yes, I meant to type 1828. Since the daughters don't line up, I think I may have errantly grafted in the John McKillop from Ballygarvey into my tree. I know my Ann McKillop was born in "Ireland" about 1800-1801 according to the 1861 census where she was 60. I've only picked up her trail in Leicester as a widow and can't figure out how/when she got from Ireland to eventually settle there after her husband, John's death. With Elizabeth's birth at sea, I guess the Royal Navy is a bit far fetched, isn't it?
I'm wondering if you may have any advice on where to look next. All I really have to go on is that my Ann McKillop, wife of John McKillop gave birth at sea. I can't seem to find any passenger listings in Ancestry.com or census/marriage/birth records prior to 1837 when Elizabeth was born. Are there other resources I may be overlooking?
