I have just received an e-mail from Derek Neville who  looks after funerals in Christ Church,Carrowdore  graveyard and has given me information on the following graves that include Stevenson's & McClurgs.They are as follows :-

George McClurg buried 25 November 1900,Thomas McClurg buried 26 May 1904,Joseph Stevenson grave 103,Adam Stevenson grave 97a,Gilbert Stevenson grave 126,Gilbert Stevenson 126 & Mary Stevenson 152.

If there is anyone visiting Christ Church ,Carrowdore graveyard,I am wondering if they could take photos of the tombstone of these graves that I have meantioned,and post them back to me via my e-mail address that I have given below,it would be much appreciated.It appears that these were probably the last of the Stevenson family living in the Ballywalter area,as there are no more records of  any Stevenson family living there today.If any people there know of Gilbert Stevenson and the rest of his family there please let me know,as I don't know of Gilbert Stevenson's parents at all & there were four of his children that came out to New Zealand in the 1860's,and they were James Stevenson 1839,Thomas Stevenson  1840,Agnes Stevenson 1842,Adam Stevenson 1845.I think the Adam Steveveson that  is buried there could be Gilberts brother,seeing that Adam the son came out to New Zealand.My e-mail address is as follows:- zakchris@clear.net.nz

Thank you

  • Hi Alister,

    Thank you very much for your message. I hope that someone from the area is able to take these photographs for you. Unfortunately we do not have a volunteer in the Ballywalter area just yet, hopefully  as we continue to grow we will get people organised in the area soon.

    Kind regards,
