YORK FAMILY Co ANTRIM
« on: Saturday 11 August 07 20:43 BST (UK) »
I am trying to find any YORK family member or some person who may be connected to this family. The York family that I am interested came from the areas of Ballynure, Ballyeaston, Ballynashee and Ballyclare regions. We are talking many years ago. Ballyeaston and Ballynashee is where most of my York family came from

Please P.M

Failing any response, could some person please have a quick  look around the burial ground that will cover Ballynure Ballyeaston for any York headstones

regards, Barbara

in Staffordshire

Period 1850-1870, then the York names disappeared, I know two males (brothers)  went to the U.S.A, as for the rest, who knows. I would like to find out if they are still in the area

94 York entries come up on IGI alone, many in Ballyeaston, Ballyclare, Doagh, etc. Search at www.familysearch.org
For more recent Yorks living in area try searching signers of Ulster Covenant (1912) on www.proni.go.uk
