Pat, About a year ago I paid for a Pensear record for a James Burnside. He gave quite a few details about where he might have been living in 1851. Apparently his parents were either dead or unable to care to him. The Davidsons forenames mentioned are William, Edward, John, Nancy, and George. I realize the surname is spelled differently but in case you would like a copy of the document - just let me know. It gives the areas where they lived in Antrim as Galgorm Parks, Ahoghill, and Ballyclosh.

Both are stated as lodgers but maybe related.I have been told by two Churches that I have written to that Baptism Records before 1836 and Marriage records before 1845 were destroyed.I have written to PRONI regarding one of the Churches - Ist Broughshane Presbyterian Church and they say they only hold the Baptism Records for 1827-32 and Marriages for 1836-94.We have found one branch of our Woodside's in Ballycastle.Do you have a MARGARET DAVISON?Regards > Pat Berry in Wollongong >> >> Message: 2 >> Date: Mon, 22 Feb 2010 17:01:10 +1100 >> From: "Peter Booth" <[email protected]> >> Subject: [IRL-ANTRIM] Church of Ireland Records - KILLEAD - DAVISON >> Family >> To: <[email protected]> >> Message-ID: <[email protected]> >> Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed; charset="iso-8859-1"; >> reply-type=original >> >> List, >> >> Can anyone tell me if any records survive for the Parish of Killead >> between 1800-1880? >> >> I've seen one suggestion that they were destroyed in Dublin, but I would >> have thought they would be held in Belfast, which is only a few miles away. >> >> I'm looking for the Davison family.
