I was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of a site which has parish records for the years around 1810-1820? I have two brothers, Thomas Shannon Gordon and William Gordon who were born around 1813 and 1815 respectively. They both died in New Zealand and from their death certificates it appears that they were born in County Down. I have found immigration records (Sydney, Australia) which have them born in Moran??? Co. Down. I think it probably is Mourne. If there are no sites which have these parish records, could anyone suggest where I could write to for information. Heather (in Australia).
Heather What year were they in Sydney? If after about 1860, you may find them on the Griffith Valuation for Mourne area of County Down?
