I am seeking any information possible on my Grandfather Robert Love.  Born 1844-49?  It would appear that his family farmed in the Duneany, Rashkin Ballymena area of County Antrim.  He married my Grandmother Mary Rankin in September 1906, and she came out to New Zealand with my father Robert James Love and his brother Stewart Alexander Hall Love in 1910.

He was the eldest son of Matthew and Martha Love and his siblings were Mary Love, David Love and James Love.

Robert Love was living with his brother David and sister Mary in the 1922 census and I have details of a death of a Robert Love in 1917 but not sure if this is him
