Conkey of Killyleagh area, Saintfields; McVeigh, Middleton, 1800s & earlier

Thank you for your very prompt reply. Much appreciated,  I am fairly sure that this is your John Middleton. Christened in Killinchy Presbyterian Church on 2nd October 1813.  His father was also John Middleton.  He married Sarah Kelly in either 1831 or 1837, 9th January. Citation -  LDS has two entries and I think one is a typo - 1837 is probably correct.  It would seem that he had a sister and two brothers, Martha, 1816, William 1822 and  Andrew 1825.  All have father "John" and all Killinchy Presbyterian.

Thank you, this seems quite solid, fits with other records.
John Middleton was born in Ireland as well.
Funny, GGrandmother had Scottish as her ancestry on several US Census docs, but earlier Irish. We realize that earlier generations may have come from Scotland but her immediate were from County Down. Scotland is not panning out for her recent ancestors so far - all having deep roots in the area.

Hi guys....I don't want to interfere in your conversation but I got a bible which probably says the names of your ancestors and the sentence goes like this ( Conkey - Elizabeth Jane died on February 13th,1959 and also her husband died 3rd October 1943- lovingly remembered) and there are few dates and names on the book like Sarah, Robert franay and dates like October 1947 and February 2, 1892....I hope this information matches, if yes please do let me know so that I can return the book.
