Rev Matthew Lanktree was Superintendent at Donaghadee until 1833, and then continued as Supernumerary Minister in Newtownards until 1846. The following note is found in the register of baptisms: “Being called upon this day to baptize a child, as registered at the foot of the last page of this book, I take the opportunity of inserting the following note in reference to my own private Registry – which it is my intention to send to Dublin to be preserved among other Connexional Records. >From the year 1833, when I commenced my residence as Supernumerary in Newtownards, to the present year 1846, I baptized above 300 children, some of whom for the last two years are inserted in this book – all of them in my private Registry referred to – 149 boys and 177 girls – total 326. I have also registered 31 marriages in the same book. Donaghadee, 15 August 1846. Matthew Lanktree”
Does anyone know if this document survived? I am visiting Ireland right and will be leaving Dublin at the end of the week to head to points north. If you are curious about my progress, I am keeping a blog, although it tends to be a bit of a magpie thing - whatever catches my notice that day. Not much genealogy, although there are bits sprinkled in. Sharon Sharon Oddie Brown Roberts Creek, BC, Canada.
