Researching Simms / Elliott Family

I have found the following information while researching: The Donegore First Presbyterian Church adjacent to Templepatrick Village, Antrim, Ireland shows four children for Thomas Simms and Elizabeth Beggs. All were born when the family was living on the townland of Tardree, which is in the Church borders of the Donegore Church but in the civil District of Connor. They are: Samuel b. 12 May 1837; Agnes b. 20 May 1839; Matthew b. 4 Dec 1841 and Thomas b. 26 Jun 1850.
