This looks like your family in the 1901 census:

http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Antrim/Clohogue/Ballymacilroy/924958/

Parents married 27.4.1878 in Ballymena register office (standard practice for Brethren).

This looks like the same family in 1911:

http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Antrim/Crumlin/Ballytromery_Main_Street/108332/

Note 1 grandchild born in America. The 1911 census says they had 10 children, but there are 12 listed in the 1901 census so that doesn’t appear to be accurate.

There are numerous Hugh Lindsay deaths 1911 – 1940 but there are 2 that might be your man. One died in the Antrim registration district on 26.3.1929 aged 66. The other in Belfast on 3.11.1932 aged 73. You might want to view them (on the GRONI site).

Various trees on Ancestry say Mary Lindsay died 9.1.1927 in Crumlin aged 70. Her death certificate should say whether Hugh was still alive then. I realise the Scottish death cert in 1938 says she was still alive but you might want to check the 1927 death anyway, in case of an error.

Thank you for replying.
Is there a mention of parents on Hugh/Mary marriage?
Are Hugh or Mary  from mainland UK?
What is the Plymouth brethern?

Thanks again

Hugh & Mary’s marriage is normally available to view free on the irishgenealogy site. However that site is down at the moment (and has been for the past 4 or 5 days). In the meantime, you can pay to view the certificate on the GRONI website for £2.50 if you wish.

From the trees on Ancestry Hugh & Mary both came from Procklis. That’s a townland on the modern Whiteside’s Rd about 4 miles north of Randalstown. Hugh’s father was George, a labourer.  Mary’s father was John, a yarn manufacturer. (Co. Antrim was a big weaving area). Witnesses were Samuel Campbell & Mary Lindsay.

I can’t answer your question about where the Lindsay & Campbell families came from but both surnames are fairly obviously Scottish and most of the population in that area are descended from Scots who arrived in Ireland in the 1600s. So I would guess they were born in Ireland but of Scots descent, in the 1600s. Today we call them Ulster-Scots. (Generally don’t see themselves as Irish and are very keen to retain their links with the rest of the UK).

Here’s Wikipedia’s take on Plymouth Brethren:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plymouth_Brethren

Note that by 1911 your family had switched from Brethren to Church of Ireland (ie Episcopalian). Prior to the mid 1800s I suspect they were likely Presbyterian (the main Scottish denomination).
