Estate Records

[welshbod]

Hi there

My GG Grandfather James McKinna (McKenna) along with his wife and six of his nine childrencame over from Gatehouse of Fleet in Kirkcudbrightshire to work as a Wood Forester on the Earl of Antrim's estate in Glenarm sometime between 1896 amd 1901 and then left again before 1911.  Would I be able to find out the dates from the estate records in PRONI or would I need to look elsewhere?

Thanks

Catherine

Hi,
    James McKenna and his wife Margaret, together with five of his children, are on the 1901 Irish census at Glenarm, co Antrim.
They are all from Scotland

Thanks for this Bob, I had already located them on the 1901 Irish census I am trying to see if I can find out when they came over to Glenarm and when they went back to Gatehouse again.

As far as I know the Earl of Antrim still has a family home in Glenarm. Have you considered contacting the Estate Office to see what records may exist and where they are kept?
