Dear Elwyn,

Thank you so much for your time and effort. Obviously this raises more questions than answers for me, but I very much appreciate your look-up.

I was wondering, records show he lived in the Grange of Ballyrobert. This was not always part of Templepatrick, but im not sure for the specific timeframe you looked up. Could it be possible that records of people from Ballyrobert have been held by other presbyterian churches in the area (for example Carnmoney)? Do you know if this is true and could this perhaps be the case?

Ruben,

Presbyterians in Ireland didn’t generally follow the parish system, and which church you attended was often a matter of personal preference. Not necessarily the nearest to where you lived.

Carnmoney is certainly a possibility, as are the churches around Ballyclare which has a Presbyterian church and an NSP. Then there’s Donegore. Kilbride also has a Presbyterian church but it only opened in 1838.
