Hello again, Many thanks to Lena, Alma, Jennifer and Bill for your kind help in explaining the registrations/ ref numbers/ areas etc, etc. I have tried re-submitting my first message to the site but it seems I must be doing something wrong as I think it has gone astray ! Basically, I was just saying what info the online forms had asked for when I applied for a death and marriage cert to GRONI. I'm sure your explanations have made everything a bit clearer to everyone. Only wish the woman I spoke to on the phone to GRONI had been as helpful! Many thanks Margaret.

In a Registration Area there would be a number of churches involved and knowing which church would be an enormous help with a search Alma>>>>>> Alma The RO in Belfast actually have two databases for marriages, the staff in the research room say that you can use both. I found a marriage one day on one that I couldn't find on the "normal" one and I used it to order a marriage record. The staff at the counter downstairs looked at my sheet and said "Where did you find this" and I told him. He said " You shouldn't use that one, they are the Church records and we don't go by those" When I go to the Registry office they order any marriage records that I want from the district office, Antrim, Armagh etc. They are the office that pull the transcript or the original depending which you want. I do know this as a fact as I had a 1850 marriage that I needed and there was a mix up with email addresses (the Registry Office Belfast email the requests out to the outlying offices) I ended up having to go to the Antrim office and seeing the Registrar there to get the record. Pre 1922 records are available in Northern Ireland but if the volumes are in Dublin I wonder what the registrars in the districts are looking at? I will try to find out. Lena

Hello Margaret, Just as a matter of interest what were the details of the certificate you were looking for? I'm afraid I don't have your original email.

Hello Teena, When you look at the Library Catalogue just do a Film/Fiche search and put in the film number that you find on the pilot site. This will take you direct to the section that has the Index film numbers as well as the Volume film number which are the ones required. Scroll down until you see the year and volume number and you will find the film number that you require. I haven't done any ordering for years, but from memory, you have to give the page number as well as the film number. The LDS have not filmed every year and you can see from the Library Catalogue which years have been filmed.

Date and place > of marriage" but there is a footnote to say that " Please note that for > marriages before 1922 searches are not possible without the district and > place of marriage being known" Does place mean the Church? I think you will find that the answer is "Yes". As Dublin holds the Volume Books prior to 1922, Belfast Registry Office has to rely on the Church copies (you say Belfast R.O has their own Index database for marriages). In a Registration Area there would be a number of churches involved and knowing which church would be an enormous help with a search. The Volume and Page No. given on the LDS Pilot Site refers to the Volume(s) that Dublin holds - not the church record. Perhaps the following may help to understand what a Registration Area is:- To explain a Registration Area we must look at Poor Law Unions:- These areas were set up under the Poor Law Relief Act (1838). Rates, land-based taxes, were collected within these areas for maintenance of local poor. They were named after a local large town. The same districts later became used as General Registrar's Districts. These General Registrar's Districts are the areas within which birth, deaths, and marriages were collected. The areas do not always conform to county boundaries. Remember also, the LDS have filmed the Dublin held volumes for marriages 1845-1870 (protestant) and 1864-1870 (catholic), so you can search them yourself and obtain a copy if you are able to visit the LDS familyhistory libraries. However, if you can't, and you don't know the name of the church, you will have to contact Dublin (which, sadly, you can't do online as yet, but they say they are working on it). Regards Alma

Thank you to all who advised me how to find my SARAH ANN WHYTE, and for the information about ARDSTRAW. Regards, Syd

Reference Births: When I read Margaret's email I checked the LDS Volume and pages numbers against some of my family birth records. These were the same records that I had looked at in the registry office in person. The volume and page numbers all matched. Also I have just checked my worksheets (supplied by the registry office) from day visits to the registry office and when you look up the index you fill in a form for them to fetch the original record to you. The columns on these forms are BIRTH< MARRIAGE OR DEATH, Year, Quarter, Name, District, Volume number, Page Number. So as far as I am concerned all the information for relevant columns are supplied by the LDS site. However, just to confuse matters, although this form has MARRIAGE on it you are actually given a different order form for marriages. Reference Marriages: I do know that they (Belfast Registry office) have to order the marriage records from outlying districts as they don't hold the actual record. I think the problem here is that they want to know the Church as well as the district. When you look up their (registry office) marriage index database it does give the Church and this has to go on the order form to order the original or a transcript. Their order certificates website area states that all you need to know for copies of marriage records is: " Full names of the married couple and bride's maiden name. Date and place of marriage" but there is a footnote to say that " Please note that for marriages before 1922 searches are not possible without the district and place of marriage being known" Does place mean the Church? I don't know the answer to that. Surely if you know the District, Volume and page number they don't have to "search" The LDS have only the District and not the Church listed, however since they do list the district and the volume and the page number I don't see why it should be an impossible find. For anyone applying for a marriage in the future I would put on the Registry office website order form at field "(e) Any additional information to support your application" the district, volume and page number and see what happens. It would be interesting to see if they rejected it if the Church wasn't included but if the Volume and page numbers were inserted. I know they told you Margaret that it wouldn't but I think sometimes it depends whose desk the application lands on. Perhaps they are having a wee hissy fit because the LDS have put these on line and they are getting a lot of requests. To summarize I don't think there would be a problem with births but maybe they would be sticky if you didn't know the church for marriages. Remember, we are talking Northern Ireland here, who are behind the times when it comes to getting information out there to researchers. Get off your soapbox Lena........... On another issue, I was looking for a birth record for a g grandmother in Armagh and Belfast Registry office assured me they didn't have it although I found it in their index. It was then explained to me that there wasn't a clean cut when the records were split between North and South of Ireland for the border areas so I would have to apply to Dublin. Yet when the Irish Foundation site turned up, they had it on Armagh Ancestry so my faith in the Registry office dropped off a wee bit. Also my sister and I searched and searched the Registry office index for my g grandfather and g grandmother's death records. I searched so many times that I had come to the conclusion that he had gone back to Italy to die! Both turned up on the LDS pilot site dying in Belfast! Lena, Northern Ireland Above in reply to: ............Further to my earlier message I have just received today a letter from the General Register Office Northern Ireland stating that they cannot find any marriage record for my gr-grandparents using the information I had supplied. The LDS pilot site had both parties with the same volume # and page # and as both names were those of my gr-grandparents I was more than a little hopeful it was them, and expected there to be a record. However since this wasn't the case I phoned the office and explained the situation, and asked if it would have been helpful if I had given the volume # and page # as listed on the LDS pilot site, although there was no-where on the application form to fill this in. I was told no, and that they did not know where the LDS got those numbers from and that they may not be the same as the register office s own numbers, so they have been told to disregard those numbers, and since they could find no record of the marriage I was after, that was basically that!! Margaret.

While I have not tried to obtain copies of these registrations, perhaps the following will help. If you click on "About This Collection" on the LDS website it gives this information: http://search.labs.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html#p=collectionGuid ance;c=1408347 "RECORD HISTORY Ireland kept two sets of registrations, one local and the other national. This document describes the national Indexes, not the local. Prior to the separation of Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland in 1922, all national civil registrations and indexes for the island were kept by the General Register Office in Dublin. Beginning in 1922 there were two General Offices, one in Dublin for the Republic and one in Belfast for Northern Ireland." It appears that you should contact the GRO Dublin...

Teena and all ... I just returned from Dublin, where I went in person to the General Registry office for several certificates. I found that there was no need/use for film numbers ... only the volume and page numbers for each birth/death/marriage entry. These are included along with the film/image numbers in the LDS online registrations index. Apparently volume and page are still the definitive locators for the records/certificates.

I recently discovered this site, and wonder whether any of the participants might perhaps have information on the following. Ancestors named FINLEY and CARSON lived in Ardstraw parish in the first half of the Nineteenth Century on the Abercorn estates, some of them in Magheracoltan and Drumclamph townlands or nearby, decamped for Philadelphia, Maryland and then Illinois during the period ca. 1830-1856. First to go were my ggggrandparents, James N(elson?) Finley, ship carpenter, and Susannah Carson, in about 1830. Brothers and cousins followed, several in 1855 and 1856, with first names William, Robert, John, Alexander, which unfortunately were recycled constantly in the family, making them difficult to sort out. If anyone has pursued these names in Tyrone, or has any suggestions, I'd be most grateful.
