Welcome to RootsChat, aylerie 

Have you seen this website and particularly the townland of Craigs?

Hillmount road is the first stage of the B83/Dunminning road from its intersection with Craigs road.

Hillmount was, I think, an area near Cullybackey based around the bleach green & mills-

I likewise saw Betty McLoughlin's burial, but was thinking she might be a little too old to be Robert's mother - unless of course that age at burial is wrong (or wrongly transcribed), which does sometimes happen...
I've been out with a visitor for most of this week - will now get back to genealogy!

Just to add, regarding the info about Hillmount and the bleach green, Andrew Russell, the father of Elizabeth Russell who was married to Robert McLaughlin in 1835, was a bleachfield labourer.

Any access to these Ahoghill records (which seem to start from around 1811) may be very helpful! Alas, I'm not finding anything online, only the PRONI Ref. numbers for Church of Ireland records which are MIC583/9; CR/1/90.

Does anybody know if these are available via rootsireland.ie? If they were, I could take out a short-term subscription but I've been stung by that in the past!

Answering my own query: from the Anglican Record Project website https://www.ireland.anglican.org/about/rcb-library/online-parish-records it seems that the records are available only from PRONI.

Yes I think that's correct.
