PRONI and UHF tend to have the same data base and specialize in pre-1863 records. GRO on the other hand is a post 1863 data base. The Banbridge folks have an excellent tie into the local Banbridge Library stuff including news paper records. Your listing for the Banbridge site is incorrect. You actually listed it twice on the same line. Eric Macklin As in all genealogical endeavours, The further back you look, The further back you see.

Never had enough info to even consider it before. I note that Banbridge has a genealogy service - Banbridge Genealogy Services. Does anyone know if this organization has any unique access to any records which are not held by PRONI, GRO Northern Ireland, or the UHF?
