Hello Peter I have been looking for Baptism and Marriage records in Antrim/Down for my GG Grandfather ISAAC WOODSIDE born around 1814 and his wife my GG Grandmother MARGARET DAVISON born around 1815.They emigrated to Liverpool England about 1838 as they had their first child Ellen in 1839 in Liverpool.On the 1841 Census they have a WILLIAM DAVIDSON born around 1816 living with them and on the 1851 Census they have a ROBERT DAVISON born around 1830 living with them. 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.
