Looking for Gardners, Hazeltons

Hi,

Thank you for your message.

Do you have any other information that you could share? Do you know their religious denomination? Did they emigrate?If so do you know much about their emigration?

You could try searching in Church records for information. Most Catholic records are held locally, however you can see what records are available online at the irishtimes website. For Antrim parish follow this link:

http://www.irishtimes.com/ancestor/fuses/rcparishmaps/index.cfm?fuseaction=showidrecords&CityCounty=Antrim&parish=Antrim&churchid=382

Unfortunately as you can see from that page records do not begin until the latter half of the 19th century. It may be worth your while to look at what records are in neighbouring parishes, as they may hold some records relevant to Antrim from an earlier period. Follow this link to a map of the parishes in Antrim, click on each parish to see what is available:

For Church of Ireland records go to http://ireland.anglican.org/about/42 and http://www.nationalarchives.ie/.

You could aslo do a search for Archbald and his parents in the land records pertaining to Ireland in the 19th century. There are two:

The Tithe Applotment Books (1823-1838) found at http://titheapplotmentbooks.nationalarchives.ie/search/tab/home.jsp

and Griffith's Valuation (1848-1864) found at http://www.askaboutireland.ie/griffith-valuation/
