Warnock Graves Ballyhalbert.

[mum mum]

Hi again,
I have been looking for info about my GGG grandfather Robert Warnock of Ballyeasborough.
His grave is at the Ballyhalbert Church of Ireland graveyard, Ballyeasborough along with his wife and other members of his family.
Is anyone near there, the transcription I have has confused us even more. I dont know if there is a mistake in the transcription or in our tree.
Can anyone help?
Thanks mum mum

Hi,
    I don't know if this will help but if you google "proni wills" and enter Robert Warnock you will find two entries for the name, both of Ballyeasboro (sic). They appear to have been fairly wealthy men and the will summery mentions men who may have been relatives.

Regards

Hi,
Thanks for that, I found him, thats GGG Grandpa that died in 1863 and two of his sons are mentioned.
Do you know if I could get any more details about where his land was as my sister and nieces are visiting Ireland later this year. Obviously we would love to be able to find where they lived and farmed.
Can anyone tell us how to find the cemetery that I mentioned?

Hi Mary,

All I have is,
Robert Warnock born 1796 married Abigail Porter- no date or place, presume Ballyeasborough area.

Children we dont have dates of birth only c 1830
Hugh c 1830, my GG Grandpa, came to Australia.
James, m Margaret Maxwell
Anne
Margaret, possibly married Thomas Hughes
Moses, m Catherine Napier
Eliza
Abigail, m Hugh Colwell, another marriiage after his death -after 1853.
Robert c 1826 m Jane or Catherine.

Robert junior is where the gravestones get confusing, we thought that Robert junior was married to E S D. the gravestones show her as the mother of a Robert and Louisa Evans nee Warnock.

I will PM you the copy of the grave inscriptions.
Thanks
mum mum

There is a deed dated 1808 which I have not seen to a James and Margaret Warnock,which could place our Robert Warnock  born to a James Warnock,1795 at Kircubbin parish church

My line of descent is through Margaret Anne Maxwell and James Warnock,a daughter Abigail Margaret Warnock married a John Hughes of whose family settled in New Zealand.

Hi cousin,

I will check what I have on my Ancestry tree and add those  marriages in. I have contacted a descendant of Abigail Warnock and Hugh Colwell here in Australia, I have most of their descendants in my tree now if you are interested.
I recently had a letter from a Warnock who is descended from James Warnock and Margaret Maxwell, he is living very near where the Warnock farm was in Co Down. Hopefully my sister will get to meet him next month when she is in Ireland.
I will PM you too exchange more info.
