I do have James DICKSON in my Family, in fact that is my maiden name. I don't know where North of Kates Bridge is in County Down. Born 1841 my James is from Loughbrickland, County Down. He married Jane Taylor abt. 1866. She was born in 1842, her parents were John Taylor and Jane Bingham (daughter of Ringham Bingham). I just through that in because I love that name.:) James DICKSON's father was Hugh DICKSON b. 1807, his grandfather was David DICKSON b 1777. James and Jane and 3 children immigrated in 1871 to Canada, and lived in USA for a short time, then went back to Canada. Don't see how we match but it is worth a try. E l a i n e J.

Hi Kate, I have a copy, and Carol has said it all regards the book's content. It is dated 1998, and just in case the ISBN No. Carol was given was incorrect here is the one in the book. ISBN 0 901905 763 There is no Library of Congress number given. If you want any lookups from it just let me know. Regards to all, David in Newtownards, Co.

Eric - there apparently isn't a copy of this title in the library of congress - there are other volumes though.

Is there a census for Dundela Ave in Down? Margaret

Hello Does anyone know, please, if it is possible to check if a birth, marriage or death for a particular name has been registered in Northern Ireland at any time since 1922, OTHER THAN by making a formal application for a Registrar's Certificate and paying the fee of GBP 10.00 or whatever? (This is to avoid spending money and Registrars staff time looking for a birth, marriage of death 'event' which may never have actually happened in Northern Ireland.) If I were doing this for a B,M,D 'event' in England and Wales, I could use the "St Catherine's House Indexes", whether at a LDS Family History Centre or a local archive but these Indexes don't of course include Northern Ireland. If I were attempting it in the Republic of Ireland, there is apparently a series of LDS films available for loan via their Family History Centres of Indexes to B,M,D , 1922-1959. However, the corresponding films of B,M,D *Northern* Ireland for 1922-1959 are marked in the LDS catalogue as "No circulation to family history centers", (presumably for copyright reasons). So, am I missing something? .. or is it just not possible to do what I want to do? Any advice would be most welcome. Thanks. Brian

Hilary, If you go to the website http://www.lecalehistory.co.uk and check the "People Index" in both the "Griffiths Valuation 1863 - Lecale" and the "1901 Census of Ireland - Lecale" (covers South-East County Down) you can get details of some McGorians (and other spellings of the name) and where they were living in that area in 1863/1901. A quick look at these would suggest to me that Downpatrick is one area to be explored. Click on "Historical Resources" on the Home Page.

I have Margaret McGorian born c1852 in Down and her father 's name as Stephen. Margaret was a Catholic (we think) and eventually married in Dublin in 1872 to Robert Barlow. I would be grateful for any info on the likely parish that Margaret was baptised in - and any info on McGorians from Down.
