Megan,
The 'tullyneuh' you are looking for is Tullynewey, a Townland about five miles NEof Ballymena.
It is in the Parish of Dunaghy, in the Barony of Kilconway and about 1 mile from Clough village.
Sir Samuel McCaughey was born on a farm there ( I have 1835)
Much has been recorded on his and his Wilsom Uncle's work in Australia.
Sir Samuel donated a warplane to Britain for WW2
Presently I am trying to  find a connection with McFetridge  or Smyth with McCaughey.
A James Mcfetridge b 1872 Ballymena married a Jeannie Smyth (Rasharkin) b 1888 emmigrated to Australia and had a daughter Anna McCaughey McFetridge born  29Nov 1909 in Rockhampton, Queensland.

I live only 2 miles from the Tullynewey farm

Dear Henry

Thank you so much. I am delighted to have confirmed Sir Samuel's birthplace. I have learnt a liittle about him from the net to date. He seems to have had "buckets of money" when he died in 1919 and was extremely generous. Also his nephew Sir Roy.

I am not very familiar with tracking things in Queensland, but can I be of any assistance? There seem to be a number of McFetridges in Northern NSW at around that time.

Regards

Megan

As yet I still haven't found any connection between the McCaughey's and my Orr family. The furthest back I can go is Robert Orr who was said to be a blacksmith, father of (Ella) Jane Orr who was born Connor, County Antrim, 1843.

I enjoyed reading about the McCaughey family in "The Return to Coree" but was unable to make a connection to Jane Orr. I particularly like the story of Sir Samuel who apparently always gave people rorm Ballymena a job. One day a Chinese man approached him for a job and said "I'm from Ballymena". Sir Samuel laughed and did give him a job!

Anthony, I suspect the William Orr, solicitor is from one of the branches of the Orrs related to William "Remember" Orr of Farranshane, hung in 1797. There were a number of later Orrs who were solicitors, including one who came to Australia, Hugh Harrison Orr, but I still have no connection between them and my Jane Orr.

Part of the 1851 Census returns for Antrim survived with Tulynewey being one of them. Go to http://1851.4t.com/custom4.html and the second list is for same. It has a McCaughey household shown with a Samuel, son, aged 15.

Thanks, Scotmum,

That's definitely the boy who became Sir Samuel McCaughey in New South Wales. All those children and only one manservant! I will have a closer look at the census information for my Orrs and Whites. What a pity the whole census did not survive,

Henry, The plane was donated for the 1st WW, Sir Sam was my Great Grand Uncle. James McFetridge and Jeannie Smyth were my Grandparents and Anna McCaughy Atkins Nee`McFetridge was my mother, I am the youngest of her children and one of only two surviving of her five children.
Sir Sam owned properties all over Australia. My son Brett was in Ireland in 2002 and met up with my cousin "James McFetridge" who was the son of James brother I think. I have lot's of info that you may already have but I'm happy to share.

Regards
Rod Atkins
