Notes [6] to [11]: Church, Cemetery, and Census Records in County Antrim, Ireland:

 

[6] 1803 Agricultural Survey, recording householders in County Antrim. There are no records

of another Robert McIninch/McAninch who is a son of a head of household in the 1803 survey

[Agricultural survey of fourteen parishes in northern Co. Antrim: Armoy, Ballintoy, Ballymoney,

Ballyrashane, Ballywillin, Billy, Culfreightrin, Derrykeighan, Dunluce, Grange of Drumtaullagh,

Kilraghts, Loughguile, Ramoan, and Rathlin. At National Archives of Ireland, Dublin, Ireland, in

Official Papers, Second Series (OP153/103); also available at (PRONI) Public Records Office of

Northern Ireland, Belfast, Northern Ireland. cf. MFHN, v. VIII, n. 3, p. 2000-19, which refers to

the index of heads of households, which index does not include the names of other family members].

 

[7] 1830s register of the Parish of Dunseverick, Diocese of Connor (Church of Ireland),

Townland of Lisnagunogue, County Antrim, Ireland.

 

[8] The parish register also indicates that he was baptized on 12 June 1837.

 

[9] The parish register indicates that Henry was born 26 March 1835 and baptized 13 April 1835.

 

[10] The family name was consistently spelled “McAninch” in the Dunseverick parish records.

 

[11] The graveyard of the Dunseverick parish church includes a headstone of an Archibald

McAninch, who died on 17 June 1889 at the age of 70, which means that he could possibly

have been an older sibling to William, Elizabeth, et al. [MFHN, v. XI, n. 4, October, p. 2003-32].
