Just caught a quick look at this before going to bed.
A lot of it is too early for civil registration in Ireland so you will need to try searching the parish registers.
A good site to start with is this one. Click here - Welcome to Irish Genealogy - Irish Genealogy

Farther to my post above , would there be any chance of finding records of some type for family members that didn't leave Ireland or gravesites ,
James Miller was born in Glenwhirry and died there
Martha was born in Glenwhirry and died there
Mary was born in Glenwhirry and died there
John Killen was born in Antrim Co. but immigrated to Canada and died there
David was born in Glenwhirry but immigrated to Canada and died there
William Henry was born in Glenwhirry and died in Reidstown
Many of these i haven't found immigration records for as of yet

As mentioned above, civil registration for all births, marriages and deaths in Ireland only started in 1864. However, civil registration of Protestant marriages began in 1845 so:

Rev Henry Reid Andrews left a diary which was still in the Andrews family’s possession in the 1920s, according to a newspaper article. I might be able to track that down if you want.

Hi all,

i am still busy trying to find out more about my family tree , i have made a little progress (( i think )) LOL,

I just thought i would shear this with you in case it might help anyone here find anything new for me.

Someone on (((( Ballymena , Co Antrim, Ulster Genealogy Group )))) found information i have been looking for about my G-G-Grandfather Henry Reid Andrews , he sent me a news clip from a paper called Ballymena observer 1922 saying Henry Reid Andrews was born in Portavo July 12th 1793 and in 1812 he took a MA degree and was licensed to preach in 1814 , and in another paper the Belfast Commercial Chronicle from 1835 states he died at the age of 40
perhaps someone here can find other things to add to this new info.
thank you

I have merged today's thread with your previous thread - please add to previous threads when they are about the same person/family, it makes life so much easier for those trying to help you if it is all kept together.

[Kenneth William Andrews]

thank you

I have just looked at the BritishNewspaperArchive.co.uk and there looks a few articles for him, but deaths and marriages of his family.


You can register and search the site for free, it might be worth doing for him. You can bookmark them all once logged in, and think you can take out 1 months sub and download the lot.

thank you i will try that, hope you have a good day
