Beresford family co antrim northern ireland
« on: Saturday 04 February 06 19:24 GMT (UK) »

Just wondering if there is anyone out there who would have information on Beresfords in the country antrim area.  Specifically about a William Beresford my GGG Grandfather born approx 1820 at Donegore.  Also a John Beresford from Tobergill died 1810.  Any information would be most gratefully appreciated.

Hiya Marion,

A belated welcome to RootsChat.

There were only five Beresford families in Co. Antrim at the time of Griffiths Valuation which took place in the county in 1861-2. Three of them may interest you ...

William Beresford, Donegore, Donegore, Antrim
James Beresford, Rathbeg, Donegore, Antrim
Isabella Beresford, Tobergill, Donegore, Antrim

Hi Christopher

many thanks for the welcome to roots web.  Have been in contact with maureen oneill, her John Beresford is a brother of my Andrew Beresford.  Just wondering if anyone has information on a graveyard at Donegore.  It is the St Johns Church of Ireland this is where my GG Grandfather Andrew is buried also there is a John Beresford grave dated from 1810 wonder if there is anyone on here who would know who keeps the records for the burials within the church yard.

many thanks

marian
