Samuel McKillop, Isabella McKillop, Mary-Jane McRoberts, all about 1850

[cmcderment]

Well the very nice people at Donegore sent me a cd, free of charge, with a list of their baptism and marriage records from 1806.
Unfortunately, although it is obviously the right place, because all the place-names are familiar, there are no McKillops recorded, either being born, being married, or even just as witnesses.

This reinforces my belief that my Samuel and his sister Isabella, came into the area, probably for work, from elsewhere.

Although the name McKillop is fairly common in Antrim and other areas, the name SAMUEL McKillop is practically non-existent. If anyone has any records at all of the two names together, I would dearly like to hear from them.

Many thanks,
Christine

Hi,
   In 1870 a Samuel McKillop married Matilda McGrotty in Coleraine Civil Registrars Office and in 1900 a Samuel McKILLIP married Annie Bradley in Killowen Church of Ireland, Coleraine.

Thank you.
Obviously it's later than the records I'm looking for, but anyone using Samuel as a first name, is worth investigating. Looks like I'm going to have to have a look in Coleraine.......

Just to add to your list, a Samuel McKillop appears in Griffith's Valuation in the townland of Ballybrannan, parish of Grange, County Armagh:

.... and Armagh.

Thank you, Glensman for all the various "sightings". That puts even more possible places on the map. I really am going to have to make another trip some time.
