Antrim - Connor - Ballymena - Castlegore Ancestors

Surnames: armour bell houston mcaloney wilson
I'm looking for any information about my ancestors from Antrim.

My Great Grandmother Elizabeth Bell (1888) was born in Ayrshire to parents George Bell (1857) and Agnes Armour (1856). George and Agnes were married at Ballymena in 1879. George Bell's father David Bell was a farmer at Castlegore.

Agnes has an elder sister Helen Armour (1855) who married Samuel Wilson (1853) in 1879. Again the marriage takes place in Ballymena, and the Wilson family also come from this area.

The Armours were born in Lanarkshire, but going back a generation their parents were also from the same area of Antrim: Samuel Armour (1830) son of William Armour and Helen McAloney, and Elizabeth (Eliza) Houston (1831) daughter of Joseph Houston.

Is there anyone out there that has an interest in this area?

TIA.

Stewart
