  • what is carnco antri?

    From James Johnston@21:1/5 to All on Mon Nov 18 16:16:34 2019
    I am doing some research on my grandfather, born in Ireland, as part of my application for an Irish passport.

    Ancestry.com has him born in "carnco antri". I wonder if that would be the county of Antrium? I know he was born in Northern Ireland in 1876.

    Which document at Ancestry.com has him born in "carnco antri" ? Look at the document itself, not what Ancestry says about the document contents.

    For a person born in Ireland in 1876 you should easily find his civil birth record and his church baptism record. If he was still in Ireland in 1901 he should be easily found in the 1901 Census.

    Re the civil record, look up the official one here, if the image isn't on Ancestry - drill down into the scan of the actual page from the birth register: https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/civil-search.jsp

    Might be worth looking at Carncombe - https://www.townlands.ie/antrim/antrim-lower/connor/carncome/

    "The Irish name for Carncome is Carn Coim "
