Surnames: Adrain and Wright, of Ballyloughan, Ballymena, Co Antrim
Hello, I'm looking for information on my branch of the Adrain family (may be registered as Adrain, Drain, O'Drain, Adrian). My great-grandfather Hugh Adrain (who married Hadessa Church from Co. Derry and subsequently moved to Omagh, Co. Tyrone) was born born ca. 1876-1885.

His siblings were called Alexander, Stewart (Stuart?) and Annabella (?). I think the family would have been established in Ballymena-possibly near Ballyloughan, in Co. Antrim. Annabella Adrain married unknown Wright and one of their children was William (Willie) Wright, also of Ballyloughan.

The father of Hugh/Alexander/Stewart and Annabella Adrain emigrated to USA (likely pittsburgh pennsylvania) to join family there, but died shortly after arrival. The mother of Hugh/Alexander/Stewart and Annabella Adrain then subsequently moved her family to Belfast, where I believe she and two of her sons established a Tailors shop.

I would like to trace the names of the parents of the four Adrain siblings, or indeed, any other information on their descendants.
