Looking for descendants of John Arthur Turk - Lilly born 1896 Carnalbanagh Tickmacrevan Antrim, his parents were John Arthur Turk and Margaret Lilly.

The 1901 census is on line at http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/
The Turk and Lillys are a bit muddled up
29 in Carnalbanagh (Glenarm, Antrim)
43 in Carnalbanagh (Glenarm, Antrim)
11 in Ballygilbert (Cairncastle, Antrim) etc
And then there is the 1911 at same website
Good luck, Jim

Thank you aware of the 1901 census but looking for children of John Arthur Turk who married Caroline Dempsey married 25 Oct 1921.   I believe there is John Arthur Turk born **, Jeanie Turk born **, Joe, Francis and Ellen.

John Arthur (Johnny) was born 1896 Carncastle and he died February 1957.  He is buried at the Larne Cemetery.  I just wonder if any other names have been added to his head stone.  He married Caroline Dempsey on 25 Oct 1921 at the Carnalbanagh Pres Church.  His mother was Margaret Lilly.
I believe most of the Turk went overseas.

Contact Larne Borough Council (not sure about 'Larne Cmetery' but they should have a list of graveyards they maintain) and ask if they can provide list of internments in that plot (there may be people buried there who are not on the headstone)- most N.I. councils now have these details on computer.
