Tracing ancestors born in Antrim

Clare Meyers is tracing her ancestors: Richard Gardner married Mary Ann Hart. Their son William was born on 20.7.1885 finding where they were born, married and burried is my dream.
Francis Mooney married Sarah Patterson and Francis was my great grandfather. His daughter Annie Beatrice Mooney married William Gardner.

I have traced a Francis William Mooney, a brother of Annie Beatrice Mooney

Please contact me if you can help as I will travel to Antrim in April 2006 and would like some help in planning where to stay.

Grace (Groce), Spence or Joiner (Joins, Joines) Family

I have been told that my family may have come from Antrim County. I don't know where to go now for information on my great-great-great grandparents, and there is no information that I can find regarding anyone before them. Elizabeth Spence, born in Ireland in 1845, married Joseph Joines, whose father came from Ireland also. I have correspondence from the Presbyterian Historical Society of Ireland saying that they had information concerning a Spence family (ca. 1800) from near Belfast. I have an 1880 cencus from Gibson County, Indiana, saying that Alexander Grace (b. 1823?) married Nancy Agness (Agnes) Spence, who was born in Ireland, approx. 1816. An amended 1850 census shows that Nancy Agness Spence was the daughter of Hugh Spence and wife, Mary. Hugh Spence was baptized 10-21-1852. Mary Elizabeth Grace, Alexander's daughter, was baptized at Prosperity ARP Church on 8-2-1857. ARP is Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church. Can anyone furnish me with more information?

William Edward Brown

I am in need of this birth info on Wm Edward Brown and his parents. He emigrated to US in 1860 at the age of 10 or 11. Born Jun 3 1846 or 1849 in Belfast, Ireland. His father and mother also came; but I don't know their names. Any help would be great.
Thank you
