MAZE (MAYES, MAISE FAMILY

On Esther Wallace’s death certificate in 1893, her mother’s maiden name was given as Agnes Millar. Esther died 9/11/1893. We have found no record of Esther’s birth, but there is a record of a birth of a Maria Maze in Antrim on 13/4/1826, daughter of George Maze and Agnes Millar. Almost certainly Maria would have been a sister of Esther. Maze is not a common name in the area. NOTE: Esther was born in Ballinderry, in Lower Antrim in 1823.
