Please can you help me find family of Ann Cassidy (d 18.2.1881 Glasgow), mother of Robert Cassidy and Margaret McCall. Her parents names are given as James Dillon, farmer and Bridget Timoney. Robert and Margaret (born c1848) appear to have been born in Coleraine but I don't know if I'm looking for James, Bridget and Ann in English, Irish or Scotttish records. Please can you give me any help. thank you

Great have found them, thank you. Cannot find marriage for Henry and Ann, or mention of Dillons or Timoney in Antrim. Any ideas please.

Coleraine is in Co Derry, but some of it's church parishes is part of Co. Antrim

Thanks Maura will get the atlas out but am sure Aghadowey isn't far from Coleraine. Have checked Scottish census but there was also an Ann Cambell (60) as well as Ann Cassidy (56) recorded at 125 Saltmarket.

Can't find James Dillon huh! Now I've got three of him in Killykergan, and Moyagall twice! Any clues how I proceed now please?

There's no baptism or marriage for Ann coming up, the church records may not go back that far. R.C. records are very hard to come by for that period.
