The Tree of Me

When my great great grandmother Margaret Jane Moore (Henry) died on 1st August 1923 her death certificate stated that she had two deceased sons. Margaret Henry had  married John Moore on 21 September 1871 at Ballymoney, Antrim, Ireland. Upon her death she had 5 surviving children.

I purchased a copy of Ballymoney Old Church Graveyard by Dorothy Arthur when I was in Ireland two years ago. For anyone with family from Ballymoney or the surrounding area, this book is a must. Dorothy Arthur has photographed and transcribed each of the headstones, and provided some information about the families. My families from this area are Moore, Knox, Glen(n), Henry and Hanna(h). There are representatives from each of these families buried at Ballymoney. However, at this stage I can't fit any of these people into my families. One day perhaps! If anyone has family who may be buried at Ballymoney I am more than happy to look them up in this book for you.
