My Kirkpatrick ancestors also come from County Antrim - Ballycastle, Ballymena, Ballymoney.Andrew Kirkpatrick born 1821? died 1874 was my gggrandfather.He married Nancy Ann MacNeill (died 1878).We think Andrew's mother was a Boyd.He had 3 sisters that we know of, 2 of which were hatmakers who emigrated to Philadelphia.His other sister (Eleanor) was a music teacher at a girls' school in Ireland.Andrew had a large family, most of his children emigrated to Canada/USA but one returned home to Scotland (my ggrandfather).Can you forward me any information at all about your family, as there may be links.
