Have you any Christian names for any members of the Stevenson family ?
Please let me know if you need assistance. Some of the PRONI records are not on line and entail a personal search.

Please confirm date 1930s.

Antrim Completed Look up Requests / Re: Wallace Row Ballyduff

I'm totally lost reading the replies. Your problem relates to 1930's Co. Antrim so an 1852 directory will not be much help. The Belfast and Province of Ulster Directory 1861 is on line at -

I live in Co. Down and am about half an hour by bus to Belfast. The South Eastern Education and Library Board Headquarters are a short walk from where I live and they have an excellent selection of directories as do both the Central Library in Belfast and the Linenhall Library in Belfast. I will make a note of this and see if I can find anything but my initial feeling is that Ballyduff is a townland and unless it has been incorporated into either the Carnmoney or Glengormley listing in a directory
then you are not going to find your family by this approach.

Down / Re: Clauconnil, Down

Hello Jim,

I think you have a word that is spelt incorrectly. I have been pronouncing it to myself for the best part of an hour. I was almost going to mislead the pair of us but kept on working at it, in the the way a dog worries a bone.

The guy gave the townland name and county and I would guess that he said Killough in Down which is more or less the way you have it in the subject heading.

The place you require is Killough which is near Downpatrick in Co. Down.   

There are only five or six places in Ireland with the letters " auc " in the order  as they appear in " Clauconnil ". The " lauc " is pronounced and spelt " lough " The C at the start of the word puzzled me and then I thought I would try K then a letter or two need to go between the K and " lough "

I hope this enables you to proceed with your search.

Best Wishes, Christoper

Hello Debbie,

I've just registered. Have you tried Dowdall ? There were a number of them in Ireland.
I have lived most of my life in Ireland and still live here. I was educated in Ireland and have travelled extensively thoughout the country for many years. It appears that this is becoming very useful nowdays in assisting people obtain the correct spelling of surnames and townlands.

Best wishes with your search.

Christopher
