Thanks Maureen, I will definitely follow-up with the local LDS. Do you know if the Church still exists?

I don't think the LDS have the RC registers for Aghagallon on film, at least I couldn't find them listed anywhere. Here is what Ryan's Irish Records says: ANTRIM. RC parishes. Civil Parish: Aghagallon RC Parish: Aghagallon and Ballinderry Earliest Record: b. 4.1828 m. 5.1828 d.3.1828 Missing Dates: 7.1848 - 5.1872 Status: Local Custody (meaning with the PP). National Library of Ireland on microfilm (these are films of the actual parish registers). Indexed by UHF (probably computer transcripts of the registers). The same transcripts are probably available through PRONI. Colman Ahern, Berkeley.
