Please help, I'm stuck!!
I am looking for Hugh Mccleery my 2nd Gt Grandfather. He had at least one son John 1824) who married Nannie Usher in 1858. They were Antrim people so I assume Hugh was as well. I've not been able to find birth records for John. I've found lots of Hugh's but not the right one. I think I may need to start looking at Parish records. Any help would be great.

? Any relevance - year of birth a bit out from your suggestion, but will have been registered "to the best knowledge of the informant". Belfast is Co. Antrim (in the main)

Thanks. He definitely didn't leave Ireland and he had at least one son born in 1824 so birth would be late 1700's I think.

Thanks. I have marriage and death for John as well as his children and families. It is just his father I can't find.
