There appears to be another series of volumes of gravestone inscriptions from graveyards, wills, newspapers in Ulster.

Those volumes listed by Robert do not seem to be those of -

Vol. 9 MID DOWN. Ballynahinch, & Magheradrool (and other places).

Vol. 12 ARDS, Magheradrool, addenda (and other places).

these are listed at

http://www.gould.com.au/Microfiche2.htm

(my local genealogy shop).

Would anyone have seen these, and would they be the same as listed by Robert Adair ? Thankyou.

This message was on the IRELAND-DOWN board :

"William Adair born about 1773, fisherman, probably born in Portavogie, County Down.

He had six sons, one of them was Robert Adair born about 1802. Could this be Mary Jane's father in answer to your Cochran question.

I don't have any info about William but do have info on the other brothers. William was my great-great-great grandfather. Let me know if it helps. Judy"

Were the Memorial Inscriptions for Parish Islandmagee included in Co. Antrim or Co. Down ? Thankyou.

Ballypriormore (Old Ballyprior) Graveyard, parish of Islandmagee.
O.S. 41 Grid Ref. D 452008

This graveyard in the townland of Ballypriormore and parish of Islandmagee. It is readily visible being situated on a low hill about 200 yards west of the road to Brown's Bay, a mile and a half south-east of the latter.

The foundations were removed finally about 1830. Presumably the church fell into disuse after the Reformation and a new edifice was built at Ballyharry in 1595.

The graveyard is well kept, with ancient and modern stones scattered throughout. The oldest stone dates from 1657 and many of the eighteenth century ones have well-carved coats of arms. Some of these early stones are copied in M.D., VIII, 221-225, with illustrations of 2 of the coats of arms, but as usual the coverage is incomplete. All stones dating from 1900 or earlier which could be read have been transcribed and arms described.

The Ordnance Survey Memoir of Islandmagee carried out in 1840 recorded 17 of the names included below, together with another 17 names, the stones of which have now disappeared. Those stones no longer visible were to the following families:-

ADAIR, Adams, Boyle, Campbell, Cathcart, Clark, Cunningham, Donaldson, Ferguson, Graham, Hamilton, McClelland, McMeekan, McMurtry, Read, Sinclair and Stafford.

However, there are also in the graveyard now at least 13 stones of pre-1840 date, with names not recorded by the surveyors. One must assume that the graveyard was much wilder than it is at present.

The above extract was taken from
'Gravestone Inscriptions of County ANTRIM vol 1'
published by the Ulster Historical Foundation.

Also there was -
Islandmagee: Gravestone Inscriptions Co. DOWN, Vol II, George Rutherford.

Other references to Islandmagee were in the PRONI :

there may be a connection to them and Dr. James Adair who had lived nearby (near the famous Marion) and the James Adair who m. Truesdale and possibly came from the same area in Ireland ?
