Carrickfergus/Ballynure Weatherup's

There's a whole slew of Weatherup records in this part of County Antrim, discuss them here!

So far we've come across mentions of Weatherup's in connection with Carrickfergus, Slievetrue, Straid, Ballyclare, Ballynure, and numerous other points inbetween or nearby. Further, since the Larne/Glynn/Ballyvernstown Weatherup's are understood to be a branch of these Weatherup's, they're fair game here as well.

I welcome anyone researching the Weatherup's (and spelling variations thereof) of this area, or anyone personally familiar with the area to join in and comment on the discussion.

Glenavy Weatherup's

It seems likely that Weatherup's from the Glenavy area were the progenitors of all the other Weatherup branch's...

So far we've come across mentions of Weatherup's in connection with Ballyvannon/Ballyvanen, Ballymote, Ballynacoy, & Ballypitmave in Glenavy, plus one mention in neighboring Tullyrusk Parish. Perhaps other places in the area will turn out to be significant as well!

Weatherup Emmigrants and Immigrants

I thought that a working list of all known Weatherup emmigrations/immigrations might be helpful. Please post them here if you know of any.

Aloha,

For those of you interested in Canadian Weatherup's here's what I was able to cull from ONVSR. Please note though that they are updating all the time.

Weatherup master index

If any one needs the latest version of the Weatherup master index file just email me. I have both a full version for those of you who are confirmed Weatherup connections, and a privacy version for those of you who are not. It is in Word (.doc) format, though I should be able to do other formats if you want.

Start Up

First day of the new blog. There is another blog out there, the Weatherup Log, but it's just an advertising/junk blog. This will become the actual Weatherup Family blog.
