Scottish Births, Marriages and Deaths.
Census of Scotland 1881, 1891, 1901.
“1901-50” means “aged declared as 50 in 1901”.
“Claimed pension” means that the person was still alive in 1908.
The information is given as found, with restraint in making connections. The only exception is the dates given for each person in the form (c1836-c1910): these are current best guesses and may be quite wrong. Otherwise, the individual pieces of information are reliable, but the association of different pieces with the same individual is sometimes uncertain. This is especially so with the valuation and electoral information, where particularly doubtful assignments are marked by one or more question marks, and information which could not be assigned at all is collected at the end of the surname.
Gaps in ER dates generally simply reflect the gaps in the surviving electoral registers (see above). A person’s first appearance on the
register may indicate that they have reached a qualifying age, or that the franchise has been widened.
Dates of registered births are often later than dates of baptisms from church records, sometimes by months. The baptism dates may be more reliable in general, as they will have been noted at the time, whereas births may have been registered a considerable time after the event.

Rathlin Townlands
There are twenty-two townlands in Rathlin, but earlier there were only six. Here are the six, with the present day townlands which they contain:
Kenramer: Kinramer North, Kinramer South, Kebble, ?Cleggan
Ballygill: Ballygill North, Ballygill Middle, Ballygill South
Kilpatrick: Kilpatrick, Knockans
Ballynavargan: Ballyconagan, Church Quarter, Mullindress, Ballynagard, Glebe, Demesne
Ballycarry: Ballycarry, Ballynoe
Kinkeel: Craigmacagan, Carravindoon, Carravinally, Roonivoolin, Kinkeel
Ballynoe was next to be created, before 1569, by taking the southern part of Ballynavargan (modern Glebe, Demesne) and Ballycarry (modern Ballynoe).
The island was redivided into 21 townlands in 1760s, with Glebe later separated in 1825, to give the present 22.
Kebble, Kilpatrick and Ballynagard were let out for sheep in the 1860s(?), and the people removed. Kebble was walled, but tenants remained there until 1830[sic]. Kilpatrick was walled as a relief measure in the 1850s and 1860s (Rugged 32,33,41).

#273. ANDERSON, Kinkeel
Father: JOHN ANDERSON
Graves: died 12 January 1810 aged 87 years
Mother:
The Family:
MICHAEL If this is Mickel, father of Michael Jack then, it’s very likely that he had a daughter, Mary born 1812 and died 1872 at Shandragh. Death was reported by Mary Anderson of Shandragh (Johnny Anderson’s daughter)
Graves: no details
In 1803 the Agricultural census lists only one John Anderson as head of house or of military age in Kinkeel. This plot was headed by a Michael Anderson in 1834, Michael of Kinkeel didn’t marry but died in 1872 at Kinkeel. age 55 This would indicate that the eldest son of John, above, was Dougal Anderson of Kinkeel in the 1803 the Agricultural census. This would also explain where the “Press-Ganged” Dougie son of Michael Jack got his name.
There is only one Michael listed in 1803, in Ballycarry. It seems very likely that this is Mickel, father of Michael Jack, whose dates have been revised to 1804 – 1883.

PATRICK ANDERSON, Balnavargan
Graves: died 5 June 1800 (?1806) aged 30 (?50) years
————————————————————————
#329. ANDERSON c 1804 – 1883
Father: MICHAEL ANDERSON Having revised Michael Jack’s birth year to 1804 it is very possible that this Michael IS Michael Jack and these are two sons from a first wife.
Mother:
The Family:
JOHNNY (father of family #31) (c1825-1892)
Holmer states that his son Joseph of Mullindress had the same grandfather as Alec Alasdair Mhichil.
ALASDAIR MHICHIL (father of family #95) (c1828-c1905)
???MICHAEL JACK (father of family #48)
It is very doubtful that he could be of this family, even though IBE gives his father’s name as Mickel. It becomes slightly more plausible if we assume that Holmer meant Joseph Anderson of Post Office, Demesne, who was Michael Jack’s son. But Johnny’s Joseph was about the age given by Holmer (60) and lived in Mullindress, whereas MJ’s Joseph would have been about 15 years older and lived in Demesne.

Gaelic dispute with Blacks – IBE 97-8
IBE 95: Michael Jack’s father, Mickel, was press-ganged for the American War, along with “Archie Morrison’s brother”. This left 7 years between Michael Jack’s birth and that of his next sibling. Raises a few questions of timing…
Alec Morrison says that the Anderson press-ganged was Dougie Anderson, a brother of Dan McCurdy’s mother, hence a son of Michael Jack. At least he could have been contemporary with Archie Morrison’s brother, though not with the American War.
Although I too have Michael Jack’s father as Mickel (so far) the Chain of Occupancy in Kinkeel 1803 Dougal Anderson and John Anderson (presumably the one who died in 1810), Tithes in 1834 Dougal Anderson and Michael Anderson. It’s more likely that Michael’s father was Dougal and Dougal’s Father was John suggesting that Dougal had a brother, Michael who is named on the headstone.

Fosta:
MICHAEL MORRISON, nephew le Joseph: 1901-18: Baile Ghaill Theas 1. (S)
Possibly of #228 – if so, his mother Annie (marr 1878) of this family. This Annie’s parents WERE Michael Anderson and Mary Morrison she died aged 95 in Greenock 8th Aug 1941. The son, Michael was actually born in Greenock perhaps visiting Rathlin in 1901 he was back in Greenock until at least 1941. Michael’s father was Alex Morrison son of John and Lizzie McCurdy.
Couldn’t find any of these Morrisons in the 1901 Census for the Greenock area. So they must have been elsewhere! Rathlin?
However, have you noticed the date range in births? Even if Isabella was the oldest and Mary Morrison was only 16 in 1835 she would have been 44 at Joseph’s birth (assuming an unlikely 1819 birth year). It’s almost more plausible for Isabella to be a sibling of Johnny and ALASDAIR MHICHIL! UPDATE, from her death age in 1898 her birth was about 1815 meaning she was nearly 50 when youngest son, Joseph was born.
If Dougie was born in the late 1830’s or early 1840’s he most certainly would have been old enough to be press ganged for the American Civil War 1861 – 1865 over 144,000 Irish Catholics volunteered to fight for the Union and nearly 40,000 for the Confederate Army

The Family:
JOHN (father of #19) – if Michael Black is his father (not uncle or
something else)
I’ll get the Tithe rolls to assess the Ballygill Chain of Occupancy from Michael Black born about 1770 who married Ann (Nancy) McCurdy, if there are two Michaels in the 1830’s then I’ll be fairly sure that the Michael Black in Ballygill South in Griffith’s was a son of 1770 Michael (two of the other children, Angus born 1792 and Cecilia born 1811 ended up in Greenock) and was John’s father.
1770 Michael Mother’s name may have been Cecilia, two Cecilias were born within 4 years of each other, the one above and another in 1816, she married Daniel McCurdy and left for Maine in the early 1840’s.
Update 23rd June 2004, just got the Tithes there are no Michael Blacks only Gilbert and Laughlin staying in Ballygill South.
UPDATE 2022: We Know that Michael born about 1770 Had a son Angus in 1792 who left to Greenock by 1830, before the Tithes. Laughlin was son of James and left for Maine before Griffith’s Valuation and Gilbert married Agnes ? and moved to Greenock for a while, Their daughter, Agnes born c1815, marries Neil McCurdy from the Island and move to Greenock after the tithes. I am convinced Michael above is a son of another yet to be proved Michael born 1803, son of Michael born 1770.

According to an article in “The Guardian” Saturday 10 September 1994, Patsy Dan Rogers is quoted as saying that “the most famous [king of Tory] was Paddy Hegarty who, in the 19th century, fell out with the island’s priest, converted to Protestantism and moved to Rathlin Island”.
Colm, “Toraigh na dTonn” (pp. 290-293) refers to this man as Paidí Beag Ó hOireachtaigh. A dwarf, his parents were Séamas Ó hOireachtaigh, of whom nothing more is said, and Bríd Ní Dhónaill, daughter of an Máistir Dubh (as Mullach Mór) and Cáit. Like his maternal grandfather, he taught on the island, but then left and taught at Carrickfinn and Inis Trá Thall. He returned to Tory, where he opened a hotel in 1854. There is no mention of Rathlin. Máire Mhic Niallais tells me of a Máire Phaidí, living on the Donegal mainland, who, like her father, was a “firín” (I have a photograph of Máire Phaidí.)
Pádraig Ó Baoighill, in “Ó Ghleann go Fánaid” pp 281-2 and “An tUltach” 79:4:18-19, says that Ó hOireachtaigh was the first teacher in Scoil Cholm Cille in 1847; was rí in 1853; was a dwarf; left Toraí as result of dispute with priest and went to Carrickfinn and then Inistrahull before returning to Tory and opening a hotel in 1854; left Toraí as result of dispute with priest and settled on Rathlin (no date given); married a tall woman from the mainland at Gortahork; was around at the time of the “Wasp” in 1884; was succeeded as rí by Niall ‘ac a’ Bháird.
Fox, The Tory Islanders, page 44, has Hegarty genealogy. Despite all the talk about them being “kings”, the only males of the name are the original Paddy (married probably in 1840s) and his son Sean (married 1881).
All very puzzling. Fox’s Paddy and Colm’s Paddy are contemporary, and are likely to be the same person. But Fox makes no mention of earlier Hegartys on Tory, such as Paddy’s father. Rathlin’s James Hegarty was born around 1857, whereas Colm’s Paddy had returned to Tory before 1854. It is a pity Colm doesn’t say whether he married and settled down – as Fox’s Paddy did – or left again soon after, perhaps for Rathlin this time? I am inclined to doubt the Rathlin connection, which may be the result of Patsy Dan or someone else confusing Carrickfinn or Inistrahull with Rathlin.
But now there is evidence that James Hegarty’s father was also James, and lived in Ballintoy, so a connection seems less likely.

Patrick McCLOY of Rathlin died Dalriada Hospital 15/12/1931 (1932/q1 40), 83, married, ship’s carpenter.
Margaret’s paternal grandfather, also Angus McCurdy, married to another Elizabeth Black, was almost certainly a brother of Gilbert McCurdy (b. 1782) of Carnmoon whose lines I include on the Rathlin site because my Grandfather, Patrick Joseph Kelly, was adamant that Gilbert’s descendants were “Cousins” and used to visit them regularly. However, my granda’s definition of cousin could extend to 3rd cousins. I was brought up believing that I had “Cousins” all over the place, these, I’ve since found, were 2nd and 3rd cousins. Perhaps this looseness was an in-built mechanism to avoid close relatives marrying on such a small Island.
Various people have now found positive links to Gilbert’s lines.
Margaret’s sister, Mary, married Donald Morrison, Alex’s grandfather.

Re: Alex McQuaig
Author: Chris Mellier( McCouaig) Date: 5 Nov 2001 1:10 PM GMT
Alexander McCouaig, McCuaig and McQuaig is a common name through the generations of my family who came from Rathlin Island co Antrim Ireland and I believe the island of Islay before that. Many members have emigrated to Australia, Canada, the United States and New Zealand.
Author: Chris Mellier( McCouaig) Date: 3 Nov 2001 1:47 AM GMT
Any information on ancestors of Elizabeth Davis who married James M COUAIG/ MCCOUAIG 20th August 1845 on Rathlin Island, Antrim, Ireland.. James born 1812 died 1894. Grandson Robert believed to have emigrated to Canada/ Hawaii in late 1890’s or early 1900’s. Robert married Alice and had daughter Elizabeth(Betty) who married Leon McCoy. Believed to be child Susan living in Hawaii.
Author: Chris Mellier( McCouaig) Date: 5 Nov 2001 12:50 PM GMT
My research has shown that the spelling McQuaig, McQuig, and my own McCouaig were quite common in western Scotland (Glasgow and island of Islay particularly) as they were also on Rathlin Island (co Antrim Ireland). It appears that my uncle Robert McCouaig dropped the “o” from his name on emigrating to Canada/Hawaii. A relative Alex McQuaig farms in New Zealand. Present day Rathlin Islanders have retained a mixture of McCouaig and McCuaig although the younger descendents are opting for the dropped “o” version. Having grown up with the full complement of vowels myself I can understand why.
Name was originally McQuig. Then Robert McQ changed the spelling to McQuaig. Then Mickey of Mount Grand started to write McCuaig. – IBE 109.

It’s not clear that this family is even living on Rathlin!
This is a Cushendall family, Michael’s parents were Bryan Oge McCurdy and Nancy McLaughlin paternal grandparents Bryan (Cushendall) and Mary McCurdy (from Rathlin). There are other tenuous links to Rathlin. Michael’s niece, Margaret, daughter of Michael’s sister, Mary and her husband Neil Patrick McCurdy (Cushendall) married Arthur McAuley from Rathlin. IGI Lists the children as being born on Rathlin perhaps Mary Kelly, Michael’s wife, was also from the Island.
Michael’s brother, Alexander, married Matilda?Martha McCahan/McCaughan in Ballycastle I REALLY strongly suspect that their son, Daniel/Donald, married Esther McCurdy family #186 who produced Neil who married Catherine Gallacher. This is backed up slightly by the fact that Neil was living virtually next door to McCurdys of this line in Dumbarton.

Patrick McCurdy, Kinramer, 1851: uncle of Jane (#192), i.e. brother of either her mother, Elizabeth McCurdy, or of her father John McCurdy (dead in 1841)
Valuation: Cleggan, V2:1861-1874 (Patrick McCurdy junior)
If Jane – or rather but equivalently her brother John Beg – is a cousin of Michael (father of #5), as Alex Morrison states, then it may be that Michael’s father (or mother if née McCurdy) Patrick McCurdy of Kinramer 1851, above one of the parents (Elizabeth McCurdy or John McCurdy) of #192 are siblings.
Jane McCurdy very likely married Daniel (Donald) Black and moved to Ballycastle. I strongly suspect that Daniel Black’s parents were William #185 and Nancy McCurdy
————————————————————————–
#192. McCURDY < 1833 Ceann Ramhar Thuaidh
Father: JOHN McCURDY (dead in 1841) (c -c ) He and son John Beag not in 1841 census, young John was born after the 1841 census.
Mother: ELIZABETH (McCURDY) (c -c ) Based upon DNA matches I now suspect that Elizabeth may be a daughter of Gilbert of Carnmoon. There was already a contemporary John McCurdy son of Gilbert who married a Mary McFaul of Rathlin and were producing children at the same time as John and Elizabeth, therefore John can’t be the link. This would suggest that “Uncle Patrick may be a brother of Gilbert.
We know that Elizabeth was alive in 1851 but there are no likely deaths or marriages of a widowed Elizabeth McCurdy, she just seems to disappear.

PRI: “Alex Morrison was born in Greenock of Rathlin parents in 1915. On his mother’s death in 1919, Alex was brought to Rathlin to be reared by an aunt of his father’s, Caitriona McCurdy (nee Morrison), who was born in 1840. There were also two sons and a daughter-in-law in the household [they were John, his wife Mary Ann John Roe, and Patrick]. The McCurdy family was one of the few island families in which Irish remained in everyday use, so Alex grew up with the language, unlike most of his generation. He never learned to read or write Irish, however, because the language was not taught in the local school. With the exception of Caitriona, who had died in 1936, all of the McCurdy family members supplied Holmer [1937] with linguistic material, Alex being his youngest informant. Like many other islanders, Alex spent most of his adult life at sea and was away from the island for extended periods from about 1945. He, therefore, gradually began to lose contact with the language and by 1950, with the passing of the older generation, there was no one left on the island with whom to converse in Irish. Alex would find it difficult to conduct a conversation in the language now, but he still possesses a large store of words and phrases, many of which are not found in Holmer’s work.”
BML: Alex’s mother was Gallagher (of Donegal stock), who turned to be a Catholic to marry Alex’s father. Alex’s sister (still alive in Greenock in 1991) was brought up a Protestant by her mother’s people. Alex says he can’t converse in Irish. I thought he was just saying this because he knew that present-day Irish speakers wouldn’t understand him nor he them. But Brian thinks his knowledge of Irish was always a passive one. He could still give Holmer words and phrases without being practised in conversing actively.

Dan could be an uncle of Frank McCurdy of East Light – can’t see how.
Dan has been described as a nephew of Domhnall Eoin Ruaidh – can’t see how.
Tagairtí:
He is almost certainly the Dan McCurdy whose name was given to CÓB as a Gaelic speaker in 1961 and who was then living with Frank Craig at Brockley (he shared the Brockley boat with Frank Craig – IBE 68, 102). It cannot have been Holmer’s Dan McCurdy (Michel) of Kinramer, who died in 1942.
Sister Agnes (nun), a sister of Dan McCurdy from Brockley. Dan McCurdy was the only one on Rathlin who learned to swim, after he had survived being washed into the sea and two companions drowned. Three young men from Brockley were retrieving cotton (for money) during the First War; two were
drowned – Sister Agnes’ brother and a neighbour – and one survived – John McCurdy (another brother of Sister Agnes?).
I’d take this with a pinch of salt at least two McQuilkins a generation earlier were “Champion” swimmers when they reached Greenock and Port Glasgow and a Rathlin man is reported to have swum the to the mainland following the boat after Marconi’s broadcast on July 6th 1898.

Note: HILaw (p 36) says a Miss Margaret Craig was the schoolteacher from 1881 to 1883, in succession to Andrew Harbinson, and later became Mrs Daniel McCurdy, Ballycarry. This family seems the most likely, despite inconsistency of maiden name.
There is only one family that Daniel can belong to, Archibald and Katie (McCurdy) McCurdy from Ballygill Middle meaning that Daniel is brother to Alexander #26

There is no sign of an earlier marriage nor a birth or marriage of Judy, Judith, Jane, Isabella marrying a Hogan, Hogans, Hoggins, Huggins. Also conducted an all Ireland search for female McCurdy deaths from 1886 (a year before Judy Bell was born) to 1902 the year Neil remarried.
Eventually found the death of Mary McCurdy in 1878, wife of Neil a farmer in Kinramer. This is the same Neil as #227. However Mary Hamill McCurdy’s death precedes Judy Bell’s birth by 10 years

NIALL PHARRA DHOMHNAILL McCURDY, the piper
I reckon the best bet for NIALL PHARRA DHOMHNAILL McCURDY, the piper in Neal born abt 1843 to Patrick and Jane Christie. If “The Piper” left his pipes with a relative Patrick John, this could have been his Brother or, more likely, John Patrick’s son, Patrick who would have been Neal’s nephew.
There are Neil McCurdys born in:

o #2: c1845, parents Donald McCurdy and Margaret Bradley, Knockans
o #186: c1847, parents Donald McCurdy and Esther McCurdy, Ballygill North
married Catherine Gallagher at Dumbarton 1874, he aged 24, #345

According to Alec Morrison, Niall Pharra Dhomhnaill was a grand-uncle (?) of a Paddy Black (‘Boltons’) who lived near the chapel c.1984. Mary, still alive in 1984, may have been another of the ‘Boltons’.) They may be of #20.
Niall Pharra Dhomhnaill’s pipes were left in the house of Paddy John Phádraig McCurdy, Cleggan North, who was a relative (Rugged 77). John Phádraig MAY be a brother of Neil (born c1845) and of Mary (wife of Alexander Black); more likely he is a brother of Neil (born c1843).

McCurdy of Ballycastle, Co Antrium, Ireland
Author: Marge Date: 4 Jan 2002 5:47 AM GMT
I have a Brian McCurdy, son of Brian McCurdy and Isabella Black and married to a Margaret Boyd who migrated to Australia in 1838 with their children:
Isabella, Archibald, Boyd & Daniel.
…
My McCurdy family came to Australia from Renfrewshire Scotland but Brian was born in Ballycastle about 1797 to Brian Mccurdy and Isabella Black.
No known links to Rathlin, family was probably originally from Toberkeigh, Ballintoy.

Alexander, born Greenock, was married to Elizabeth Stewart, his parents were Angus Black and Esther Horan from Rathlin. The niece and nephew are his sister Mary’s children she married John Black (parents James and Mary (Black) Black of Rathlin). Alex’s other brother, Michael, married Elizabeth McFaul daughter of Alexander and Mary McCurdy (from Rathlin). But I can’t pin down where James McCurdy (who reported the death) was in 1881 or who his parent’s were.
BUT BETTER STILL and this is the biggest coincidence I’m come across in all my research. On the same day that James McFaul died the VERY NEXT entry in the register is for Mary, wife of John Gage (son of John Gage and Mary McCurdy of Rathlin) maiden surname Horan daughter of Alexander Horan and Mary (actually Helen) McCurdy (from Rathlin). I strongly suspect that Alexander and Esther above were brother and sister!!

Fortunately, Daniel [Daniel E Hurley] met a young widow also in need of a spouse. She was Catherine McFaul, daughter of Donald and Mary McFaul. Catherine had come to Maine about 1848 from Rathlin Island, situated in the channel between Ireland and Scotland. Catherine’s sister Elizabeth, half-brother Neil Black, and several other siblings also had settled in Washington County. Catherine first married Richard Quinn, a native of Canada. The Quinns had a daughter Jane, born in 1853.
The widowed Catherine was married to Daniel on April 19, 1863 and came with Jane to live with her new husband and his children on their Whitneyville homestead. The years spent on her own family’s farm on Rathlin Island had prepared Catherine to be a farmer’s wife…
Catherine and Daniel expanded their family to include three more children. Elizabeth Ann was born in 1864 but died in infancy. Joseph arrived about 1866. A second Elizabeth was born in 1867. Her baptism on January 8, 1868 was entered in the records of Holy Name Church, Machias, by Father Durnin, with Thomas Hilgrove and Elizabeth McFaul listed as godparents.
On March 14, 1874 Daniel conveyed title to his 70-acre farm to Catherine. Perhaps this was to insure that in case of Daniel’s death the farm would remain with his wife and their young children and could not be claimed by the children of his first marriage. However, Joseph died about 1880 and was laid to rest in the village’s hilltop cemetery.
After years of hard work on the railroad and farm, Daniel’s health was becoming a concern. On February 20, 1886 an article on page 2 of “The Machias Republican” newspaper said, “Daniel Hurley of late keeps rather close on account of rheumatism.”
Thus local residents were not surprised to learn that the Hurleys were setting out for a warmer climate, as described in the same newspaper on May 1, 1886: “Daniel Hurley has disposed of his entire estate and intends moving to California the present week. The purchaser is John K. Ames of Machias. Mr. and Mrs. Hurley have resided in this place over 40 years, and more than 25 years of that time his services have been rendered to the mill and land company.” Records in the Washington County court house indicate they received $200 for their farm.
Catherine’s daughter Jane and her husband Joseph J. Beatty also were California-bound with their young daughter Berniece. The Hurleys and Beattys were among thousands of Americans from the East and Midwest who crowded into San Diego County, California during the 1880s, creating an unprecedented boom there in housing, agriculture and industry.

McKINLEY 1827
Father: ARCHIE McKINLEY, Archie b. 1804 Rathlin Island, Co Antrim
Mother: ANN “Nancy” MORRISON, Rathlin Island
Rootsweb Author: maryl Date: 24 Sep 2000 12:20 PM GMT :
… My Archie and Nancy stayed on Rathlin until abt 1860, but there was a group that emigrated from Rathlin earlier to Maine. Regards, Maryl
My McKinleys were living at Rathlin Island and Ballycastle, Co Antrim, N. Ireland from about 1745-1862. Given names were Archibald b. 1805, John b. 1829, James, Daniel,Michael, Patrick, Alexander. Wives were Mary Weir and Nancy (Ann) Morrison. Family originated in Scotland, maybe Greenock, Renfrewshire; were shipbuilders. Some emigrated in 1851 to Meriden, CT, USA; about 1862 moved to Postville, Iowa. Family was said to be distantly related to Pres. Wm. McKinley. Could be true since Wm. McKinley’s ancestors are from Ballymoney near Ballycastle, although they emigrated to USA much earlier than my McKinleys. More info on this family is on my webpage: http://www.avana.net/~mhook. Maryl
Obituary of Archibald McKinley (born 25 March 1804 probably in Co Antrim, N Ireland near Ballycastle and Rathlin Island) original was in Alice Beatrice Touhy McKinley’s scrapbook – clipping is probably from an Iowa (Postville, Grand Meadow Twnshp, Clayton County) newspaper
At the residence of his son, John McKinley, in Grand Meadow Township on Friday, Jan 4, 1889, of heart disease, MR. ARCHIBALD McKINLEY.
Deceased was the father of James McKinley, Chairman Board of Supervisors (school board?), was born in Ireland March 25, 1804, being 84 years, 10 months and 9 days old. He was united in marriage to Nancy Morrison in 1827 and enjoyed 53 years of wedded life. Eight sons blessed this union, five of whom survive him.
He emigrated to New York at an early day (really about 1862) and afterwards to Iowa, coming here (Postville, IA) in 1863, where he had since resided. Deceased lead a truly model Christian life and came as near the ideal man as it is possible for human frailty to approach. He was one of those few who “live not unto themselves, but unto him who died for them and rose again.” ” As a man lives so shall he die” was never more beautifully illustrated than in the death of this man, calm, peaceful and resigned. The dark valley had no terrors for him. During his last moments when it was difficult to tell to which world he belonged, being speechless, yet conscious, his eyes directed upward, immortality and glory were the imprints on his countenance and, muttering passages of scripture all at once the “Weary wheels of life stood still.”
My GG GF was Archibald McKINLEY b. 1804 Ballycastle/Rathlin Island, Co Antrim, Ireland, who married Ann (Nancy) MORRISON (b. abt 1805) from Rathlin Island. Their 8 sons came to the U.S. abt 1850. Archie and Nancy finally came to join them abt 1860 and settled with them on farms in Iowa.

Fosta:
Maria McMullan – mother of family #213 – is a niece. Either this Maria born abt 1881 is a daughter of an as yet unknown brother or she is an illegitimate daughter of a sister very possibly #247. However, it’s far more likely that Maria from #247 was the daughter of James’ daughter, Rose.

According to PRONI T/550/10/112, the 1851 census record reads: John and Margaret McQuilkin; James McQuilkin, 36, son, married; Anne McQuilkin, 30, daughter, married; Mary, 4, niece; Catherine, 2, niece; Patrick, 6mnths, nephew. Despite this, it is probably safe to assume that James is the father of the three children. It is less safe to assume that Anne is their mother, in view of their consistent report that their mother’s name
was Ellen.

Married Esther Anne McCurdy.
Listed by Andy Keogh and by Allan McQuilkin.
Died 1915 in North Channel (Islay).
Allan McQuilkin:
They had at least six children; Patrick (my g-father), Mary Jane, Joseph Allan, Susan, Samuel or William ?, and maybe a James or Kate. The family was one of several McQuilkins on the Island and were known as the “Allan McQuilkins”.
Fosta:
McQUILKIN, Catherine, South Ballycarry, Died 6/10/1856, age 80 (COI) This Catherine (McQuilkin) McQuilkin was wife of Patrick McQuilkin probably of Crackaskredelan. They had a son John born abt 1785. John moved to America. John did marry a Margaret (McCurdy) abt 1816 and had a son called James but not until 1837. So it’s not the same John and Margaret in the 1851 census.
WILKINSON, John. Valuation: Ballycarry, V1:1861-? (pat g’father of #75?) I think so!!
WILKINSON, Allen. Valuation: Ballycarry, V7:1861-1877 My Allan and, I’m convinced, his father, John, above.
Re Mary McCurdy, mother of #206, Andy Keogh gives:
Daniel McCurdy, the youngest son of Pethrick McCurdy’s was born near Ballintoy, County Antrim, Ireland in 1677. He married Margaret Laughlin and located on Rathlin Island six miles north of the north coast of Ireland. Six children were born to them: Patrick; Daniel; Neil; Margaret; James; Cecelia.
…
Daniel McCurdy (above) was born about 1795. He married Catherine Black and they had two sons: Archibald; Charles.
…
Charles (would have been born between approx 1815 and 1825) and married Margaret Black (between 1835 and 1845) and they had five children born to them: Neil; Alexander; Daniel; Margaret; Mary.
…
Which COULD mean that the Mary McCurdy above is the same one that married John McQuilkin.
Whereas Phyllis Jackson Stegall has:
Six generations from Margaret Stewart/Pethric McCurdy, my great grandmother Elizabeth McCurdy (father was James McCurdy; mother, Rosie Rae of Portlemon) married my great grandfather Robert John McMullan. I have a rough family chart which puts the McCurdys on Rathlin Island. I only know the names in my direct line, not dates or places: Margaret and Pethric’s son Daniel m. Margaret McLaughlin (and left for Rathlin Is.); then their son Daniel m. Jennet Jackson; their son Patrick had a son Daniel who m. Peggy McNinch. Their son James was my great great grandfather.
Another person quotes:
“Petheric (Patrick) settled on a farm called the Cairn, near Ballintoy, married Margaret Stewart, who was related to James II of the Protestant line of Stewarts, lived for another thirty years and sired five stout sons.
The youngest son of Petheric, Daniel McCurdy, born in 1677, married Margaret Laughlin and established a home at Ahoghill on Rathlin Island. They had six children.”
This was from the book, “The PETTEGREW Family of Kittery, Maine and Allied Families.”
And another:
I may have information on James’ siblings, if it’s the same person. He’s one of six children: Pathrick, Daniel, Neil, Margaret, James and Cecilia. He and his wife, Polly Cooke, moved to the US in about 1760. Daniel married Jeanet Jackson. Neil never married and died at the age of 97. Margaret died at the age of 100. Cecilia died in 1779 at the age of 85. Pathrick married his cousin, Mary Laughlin and died in 1798 at the age of 98. These are the grandchildren of Daniel McCurdy, one of the five refugees from Scotland to Ireland. Another note: I show Margaret Laughlin marrying a Daniel McCurdy, who died in 1847. Not sure which Daniel he is, because there are just so many of them!!!!!!!

I’m Kathleen Wilkinson Gstalter, daughter of Lawrence Thomas Wilkinson WI; son of Joseph Daniel Wilkinson, WI; son of Patrick James Wilkinson; son of Daniel Wilkinson, b 1828 Rathlin Island, County Antrim, Ireland. He moved to Maine around 1848, and later to Delafield Wisconsin and Oconomowoc Wisconsin.
From Tammy Wilkinson:
Daniel and Ann (McCurdy) Wilkinson from Rathlin Isle, Ireland, to Pembroke Maine, to Delafield Wisconsin in 1874. Daniel has a civil war grave marker.
Their son Patrick(my GGrandfather) (1863-1956) a DVM, and Lillian M Vockel of Germany.
Their son Thomas T and his wife Dolores Kaehny of PA (my grandparents)
And their son Thomas is my dad.
From David P Wilkinson to Tammy Wilkinson:
Your grandfather, Thos. T. was a 1st cousin to my dad, James Francis Wilkinson,MD, so we are cousins of some removal. Thos.T.’s father, Patrick J. was a practicing vet in Oconomowoc, WI and his brother, Michael R. was an MD, who eventually founded the Wilkinson Clinic there. They were known around the area as Dr. P.J and Dr. M.R. They adopted the use of their initials when they began their practices because they no longer wished to be identified with the endemic “Pat & Mike” jokes directed at the Irish.
I surmise that you are aware that your grandfather’s sister, Katherine (Sister Mary Mona, SSND)is living in the order’s retirement home in Elm Grove, WI. I see her occasionally on visits or at family funerals and weddings.
I’ve done some research and have uncovered some info and records going back to the Maine family homesteads and also back to Rathlin Island, which I was fortunate to visit in 1992.
From Mary Laughlin:
Researching my WILKINSONS Know John Stephen son of Patrick m.Catherine JORDAN was born 1842. John married Mary Ann EAGEN on Rathlin. John(d. 1895) had sisters Matilda and Mary who never married, all settled in Lawrence MA. Looking for info on Patrick, possible siblings. Have relatives on Rathlin today, name changed to MacWilkin.
and
I have a John S. Wilkinson born in Dublin in 12/19/1842 married to a Mary Anne Eagan(Manchester England) he came to Lawrence Mass as a youth with a sister… more importantly his father Patrick was born on Rathlin Island in 1800 and there is a connection to the MacWilkins that were there in the 1960’s. Patrick married Honnorah? and Mary? and he died in Lawrence Mass in 1895.

Married William McLaughlin, Isle of Bute. Family.
Bit of a problem here. Rose Ann and William McLaughlin were married in 1888 on Bute but she lists her (still living) parents as Alexander and Rose Ann McCurdy age is given as 24 giving a rough year of birth 1864. No Rose Morrisons fitting the bill in 1881 and no Alexander and Rose Morrisons in Scotland in 1881 so it looks like the correct Rose! The Death certificate from 1927 correctly names her parents.
Michael Morrison (see #5) may have been a son of one of the brothers.

My gggrandmother was Sarah McLaughlin Morrison. She and my gggrandfather Patrick Morrison came over from Rathlin Island Ireland between 1820 and 1830, settling in Lubec, Maine. I suspect that other members of Sarah’s family came at the same time,but can’t connect her to other McLaughlin’s in the Lubec area. I am also related to the McCurdy’s, Black, Andrews and Andersons that came over from Rathlin Island.

Comments
My great-great-grandparents Michael O’Neil 1820-1894 and Ellen Sortell 1820-1899 were married at Rathlin, Ireland October 14, 1844 by a Father Fitzpatrick. Where in Ireland did they come from? Possibly Co. Antrim? How would I proceed to find more about this family? They came to America circa 1847 during the Great Potato Famine & settled in West Rutland, VT. I plan on visiting Rathlin next month on my very first visit to Ireland. Would welcome any comments to this post. Regards-Mike O’Neill

Her address at death is given as 1 Levenhaugh Street where in the 1881 census we find Marion Gallocher (Head) 31 born Ireland. In the same building is a James McCurdy (sic McAredy) and next door to Neil McCurdy is a John Gallocher and family born Ireland.
A few doors along at the corner of Levenhaugh and William Street:

Mary (McBride) McCurdy’s husband was John McCurdy, they were married in 1847 in Ballycastle. (I know they were a Cushendall Family. John’s father, Alexander, was probably the son of Bryan Oge McCurdy see #181 so there is a slight Rathlin connection) John mother was Matilda McCahon (Martha on the death cert).
A wee bit along the road at 68 Levenhaugh Street there is Patrick Kerr and family, wife Martha (McCurdy) Kerr (daughter of John and Mary) and three children.
Next door at 70 Levenhaugh there is Patrick’s widowed mother, Elizabeth, a sister, Elizabeth and a family of six visiting McFalls.

The last two are 100% from the same family, pity the sons couldn’t remember the Granny’s name! Looks like it may be MARY Cameron!
