hello! have a MELLON-MAGEE connection in county down which possibly may interest you:
1826 bapt cert for JOHN SHIELDS, father DANIEL SHIELDS, mother MARGARET MAGEE, witnesses HENRY MAGEE and HANNAH MELLON, ballyleny, dromore, RC.
not really paying attention to specifics of post, mind is quite full right now, but noticed you looking in both antrim and down. during my search for (i suspect in antrim) charlotte magee, abraham magee, and teresa magee, i saw a griffiths valuation listing for a family with a "sharlet" and "ephrim," as well as a family relative, 77 yo and also "ephrim", who was absent visiting relatives in county down. this stayed in my mind as, though not yet confirmed, i am convinced that the bapt cert above is for my ggf JOHN SHEILS. his wife was CAROLINE "CHARLOTTE" MAXWELL, dau to THOMAS MAXWELL and TERESA MAGEE. feel these two families knew one another, which may be how my ggp met. just thought i'd pass it along. best of luck!
