Thanks Maggie.  IT was worth a try. I will try Carnmoney.  I wonder where people who died inLigoniel
 Before 1900 would have been buried?

They actually could be buried anywhere.  Have you traced back further with the family. They could have come from Lisburn living in Ligoniel and could be buried in any churches there.

Sorry cannot be of more help.

If you look at a map of the area you can see that it would be close to Carnmoney, The City Cemetery and others.  I have circled the Ligoneil area in yellow.  Source https://www.google.co.uk

Antrim / Re: O'HARA FAMILY OF CREBILLY
« on: Thursday 09 March 17 13:38 GMT (UK)  »
I am in New Zealand and am hoping someone can put me in touch with a genealogist of the O'Hara family of Crebilly.
I have been doing my friend's O'Hara family history of the area and to be in touch with a family member would be of help.
I noticed that the O'Hara children have names that resonate with those of Crebilly family including the name of Hugh and Henry and the family comes from the same area.
It would be great to join the dots if possible.

Hi
Ballymena Family History Society which is a branch of the NIFHS (North of Ireland Family History Society.  There is a wealth of information on it re the O'Hara's of Crebilly.  Our chairman is an O'Hara and is related.  Many others are also researching the O'Hara surname in the group.  I have matches via Autosomal DNA to an O'Hara.

Hello, Can anyone tell me if there are any McCormick records for this graveyard?  My husband's McCormicks lived and died in Ligoniel and I have never been able to find their burial places.
RosemaryJoan

There are.  What are their names?

Hi Agnetta
Great to hear from you. Not at the moment but very interested in the link to the surname Black.  I have recently taken an Autosomal DNA test with FTDNA and I am matching quite a few Black cousins... have not yet found our common ancestor.  Who were the respective Fathers?

Antrim / Re: Beckett, Aghadavy, Ballinderry 1800-1855
« on: Wednesday 25 November 15 16:26 GMT (UK)  »
There are a couple of Beckett links with my Gilbert family of Aghagallon (not far from Ballinderry).

In Aghalee on the 3rd Feb 1847, my 1st cousin 4x removed, William Gilbert married Mary Beckett, daughter of Matthew Beckett.

A couple of years earlier, in 1845, William Gilbert's sister Jane married Samuel Turtle, son of John Turtle.

This is from my notes on John Gilbert, father of the above William and Jane:

One of John Gilbert's children married a Turtle and another a Beckett.  CEB Brett's book, "Buildings of County Antrim" features Laurel Hill in Aghalee.  This house was owned by the Turtle family while the farm next door was owned by the Becketts.  On the 14th December 1890, Isaac Cousins Turtle of Laurel Hill, only son of the late William John Turtle died, aged 38.  In his will Isaac directed that all his land that he be "possessed of or entitled to whether leasehold [or] freehold and chattles to be sold and the proceeds to be divided equally between [his] two unmarried sisters Mary Letitia and Harriet Turtle."  In 1891 Laurel Hill was bought by James Quinn who moved in with his wife (Jane Graham) and children.  On the 23rd September 1931 James Quinn's son William married his neighbour Annie Elizabeth Beckett.  As a result of this union the two farms were combined.  These Turtles and Becketts were presumably related to the spouses of John Gilbert's children.

Other marriages:

On the 18th March 1880, Samuel Beckett of Aghalee married Mary Elizabeth Turtle, eldest daughter of William Turtle of Ballinderry.

There was also a Beckett-Gilbert marriage in 1978, but that's a bit recent to talk about here.

Hi
Are you by any chance Matt? Member of NIFHS?
I have Matthew in my tree born approx 1815.
