John Joseph McCormick born 1839 Antrim

I am looking for the birthplace and the father of John (Joseph) McCormick. He worked as a carpenter in Belfast and was married to Mary O'Hara in Belfast in 1867. He is buried in a family grave in the old Hannahstown cemetery next to St. Joseph'sChurch. There are no records at the church. I have been told that he was originally from the area around Hannahstown. There is a birth record for a John McCormick born 1839 in Ballymena with a father named Henry. This would be the correct age from his obituary in the Belfast News Letter, although the 1901 census puts him at 10 years younger. John's first son was Henry, so Henry for his father seems a reasonable assumption.
