Part 2!

In the Orr Pedigree (most easily accessed through this version:
Ulster Pedigrees by Ray A. Jones 1977 Lib. of Congress Catalog Card No:77-82468)
was drawn up by Gawin Orr of Castlereagh (1756-1830).

He was an elder in Moneyrea Church, a farmer and something of a financial wizard besides being a genealogist. 

He traces families in the area back to James Orr and Janet McClement who came to Ballyblack in the early years of the 17th century.

If you can go back to the generation alive in 1830 and find them in the Pedigree you can go back to the Plantation.

Sorry Part two doesn't read properly - it should have been:

In the Orr Pedigree (most easily accessed through this version:
Ulster Pedigrees by Ray A. Jones 1977 Lib. of Congress Catalog Card No:77-82468)
one McCormick family from Dundonald is mentioned.
The Pedigree was drawn up by Gawin Orr of Castlereagh (1756-1830).

I do not know what happened to the Bullet points in the 3rd message - the buttons don't deliver what they promise!

Thanks DixieDee for the Allen information. I don't see any connection to mine. The earliest I have is a Henry Allen born about 1800 to 1820 maybe of Comber parish in County Down.

EnlerG thanks for all the McCormick information. The earlist McCormick I have is James a weaver probably born about 1800 to 1820. This could be a grandson of the Samuel you mention but there is no way of telling. My James had a son Thomas born about 1847. When this Thomas married in 1868 he was of Ballyrainey, Dundonald parish. Unfortunately that is all I have.

Hi,

I've just noticed that you want a look up in Vol. 5 of Gravestone inscriptions.

I have it to hand.  In Comber Graveyard (C of I) there are two McCormick burials recorded unfortunately no townlands are mentioned:

McCORMICK
[Probably of 1778.] Here lyeth the body of John McCormick, son to Alexander McCorkick who desesed the 7 of March '78 he being of age 12 years.

McCORMICK
[White marble.] In memory of Thomas McCormick who died 23rd Novr. 1863 aged 55 years. Also his son Thomas who died 24th May 1878 aged 19 years. Also his wife Margaret who died 24th Octr. 1879 aged 70 years.

You know that Ballyrainey is on the Dundonald side of Comber but much closer to Comber than Dundonald - but people seemed to manage to ensure that burials took place in the family ground no matter how far that was! 

My on my mother's side there are McCormicks from near Killinchy.  After 1845 they are buried in the Non-Subscribing Presbyterian Graveyard before that in Killinchy Parish Church - but I do not think that there are gravestones there. 

There is another family who have graves in Tullynakill (between Killinchy & Comber). 

We think that these families cross Strangford from the Ards Peninsula in the late 18th century.  There are burials in graveyards on the peninsula - but I am not certain where.

I will keep a look out for the McCormicks of Ballyrainey.

Hope some of this is of interest

It is of interest-thanks. But...It is so frustrating as I can never get any farther back in Ireland.

Hi ,
I noticed you have some relatives of mine on your list, the ones living in Tullyhubbert. I know Samuel Conkey was buried in Moneyreagh  presbyterian he was married to Mary Allen, her father was William Allen. I know there is a lot of Allens buried here,
Hope this helps.
