Hello Lee,

My Great Grandmother was Janet Erskine from the Ballyclare / Ballyeaston area.

I am looking for descendants of Thomas Erskine married Catherine Thompson in Co. Antrim in 1828. They had a family of seven children who were all christened at Ballyeaston,
Co. Antrim

John Erskine born 2nd September 1829
Jane Erskine born 16th May 1830
Thomas Erskine born 29th July 1833
Robert Erskine born 21st January 1836
Janet Erskine (my great grandmother) born 4th December 1838
James Erskine born 22nd September 1845
Alexander Erskine born 1st July 1847

There was also an Erskine family in Holywood, Co. Down Margaret Gordon Erskine (c.1912 - 31st January 1994) was one of four children, three of these were boys. They were the children of Robert M. Erskine, J.P. and Eleanor Erskine (nee Pollock). All three joined up at the start of World War II. The youngest joined the RAF. He lied about his age and died at the age of 18. The second brother was Lieutenant John Gordon Morrison Erskine RN of the Battle Cruiser H.M.S.Hood, which was sunk by the German Navy in May 1941 whilst in pursuit of the Bismark. Her eldest brother died shortly after the end of the war.

All the Best,

Christopher
