Hi Aghadowey,
just getting back to my research as I've been away for quite a while....Edward(Ned )McMaster did live at Macosquin before the Irish Cottages. I have traced his burial place to Killowen church just left inside the front gates...unfortunately it is unmarked so will have to trace that through church records I presume.. haven't even got the death year !  Whose picture is showing in your mail,, much too young for Ned but I'm curious.
Thanks
Megbe.

Hi ,
Still trying to trace any leads on Edward McMaster   known as "Ned".  small amounts of information coming through... He is apparently buried at Killowen Graveyard... possibly 1940's  I think this is in Coleraine somewhere.  and did live at Macosquin at one point. so  he may be the one referred to signing the Ulster Covenant.

Hello Aghadowey,
You have been working hard I see.. The Killogue address is definitely the correct one for my connections . Don't know that Dervock has any connection....  Any ideas  for John and James's father who I believe to be Adam McClure married to Mollie Tweed although the  1911 census states that  John's mother lived with him then ( she  would have been in 80's at that time) but he entered her name as Mary.This also means that his father was already dead before 1911.  There  has been a post of Adam McClure married to a Margaret Tweed,in 1853 which is an OK.date  but can Mollie,Margaret and Mary all be variations of the same person??  I'm not sure..I will keep digging!!

Thanks Kingskerswell, You details fit very well, The Elizabeth you mentioned would be my maternal grandmother who had two sisters Anne or Anna who married Adam Loughridge and Maggie who married Bleakley.. Was there any mention of a brother...not too sure about this.. sorry about the mistake in direction...obviously  it didn't deter you but going from Ballymoney to Ballymena is south  not north...
Regards Megbe.

Hi,
Thanks for reply,
The John McClure I'm interested in was my Grandfather.. He died 25th feb 1929 and I think he was 73 years old.  His marriage was probably  April 5th 1905 . His wife was Elizabeth B.Clarke . She died Jan. 24th 1922 aged 49 .  They had three children..  I am interested in getting details of both their parents... I think John's father was Adam McClure and his mother may have been Mollie Tweed . "lizzie" Clarke's mother may have been Eliza Boyd. Other possible  McClure's  in Adam's family were John McClure died  Dec 1875, William died  Jan 1897 and James who died May 1898. Don't take these dates as accurate although I think they are fairly close.
Hoping to hear from you
Megbe
