Michelle. Just what precisely does the Loughinisland parish register say about you Rice ancestor, and what is the date given. I checked Daniel Mullen's 1782 list of residents for Ballynahinch and there is no Rice listed. As far a I know, Mullen's survey of the properties of John, Earl Moira which included Ballynahinch is about as old as these records get. I am very interested in your resolution of this since Loughinisland records for Magheradrool parish, including Ballynahinch, usually just say Magheradrol(sic). I am reading your mail to indicate that perhaps this old RC register can be mined for names of residents of Balynahinch itrtself subsequent to Mullen's work and prior to any other early 19th cent records fror the town that I am aware of. The inter-regnum between Mullen and the establishment of of St Michael's in Ballynahinch in 1827, and the begining of its register, is essentially a black hole for researchers. Anything which may shed light on this period is well worth pursuing. Thanks.
