McAuleys of Waterfoot

Hi Ursula,

Thank you for your message I hope that someone makes a connection with you through this message board.

Have you tried looking in the 1911 census records to see if there were any family members still in the area at this time? You can check these online here:

It may also be an idea to contact the Ulster Hisrotical Foundation for possible assistance- however a fee may apply. Here are their contact details:

Ulster Historical Foundation,

Northern Ireland.

Phone: +44 28 9066 1988 Email: enquiry@ufh.org.uk

I hope these suggestions are helpful.

Please be patient - as our programme has only begun to rollout across the island of Ireland and volunteers in some areas may not yet be organized.

Kind regards,

Ursula,

I believe we might have a connection, albeit one through siblings and marriage. My connection would be through Anne McElheran of Glassmullen who, according to two sources, married Archibald McAuley of Cushendall on December 3, 1833. She is the sister of David McElheran, that is in our line. Let me know if you have a sibling of that name for Alexander. It could also be a cousin. These families seemed to keep marrying each other and, of course, naming all the children the same names :)
