  • My family and I visited Carrickfergus this year in May. We were taken immediately by the friendliness of the locals and made to feel very much at home. We were thrilled by the castle and the 'Old Town Tour', but the entire area has touched this family, and I'm sure we will be back. Thank you Carrickfergus, and Merry Christmas from the Fowler family of Alberta Canada!

  • Just a quick note to say we very much enjoyed the tour of the walls yesterday at 14h30. Our guide was very informative. We live in Jordanstown and had no idea the walls even existed let alone the rich history of them. My children also very much enjoyed the jesters and interactive activities in the hall.

  • I live in NSW Australia and last week I had reason, for family history purposes, to contact the borough council for help in contacting the local family history society in Carrickfergus.

    In case anyone can help me I am trying to find my great great grandparents, John and Frances Kelly, who lived in Carrickfergus around 1851. They had 4 sons, George (1844-), Robert (1847-), John (1849-1894) my great grandfather who later moved to Scotland and married Elizabeth Mitchell and they eventually moved to Australia in 1878, and James (1851-).

    During the 1851 census Frances was staying at her mother's house in Killyglen, along with her sons and her 2 younger sisters.

    If anyone has any of these people in their family tree could they contact me as I would love to know what happened to the various siblings and their aunts.

  • I trace my ancestry back to Hugh Willson a Linen Merchant in Carrickfergus, Antrim County Ireland circa 1750. His grandson Hugh L. came to America in 1775 and Canada in 1800.
    His greatgranddaughter married my greatgrandfather John Fitzpatrick

    I have friends visiting the area this week and have passed the info to them

    Hopefully they will have an opportunity to search out current Willsons
