If your look up offer is still open Bev I wondered if you could look up for me at your leisure. I am interested in the marriage of Hugh Gemill (b 1807) m Jane MacMurrey/McMurray (b 1802) they married in Dromara @1832. Also Alexander Moreland - b @ 1832 -who seemed to marry twice - to Agnes Rodgers in1842 (in Dromara) and then Ann Gemmell in 1849. Ann is named mother of James Moreland in Scottish census but he was born @1845 and I think the mother is more likely to be Agnes who died - I don't know how to verify this at present. Alexander Moreland and Agnes were also parents to Mary Moreland b 1844. Not sure if any of these details are of use but I am giving you what I have in the hope it helps. Regards Lyn

Bev, What you are doing is such a great thing, not only giving new names for people to look at, when they may not have had some of them till now, but also giving them areas to look in. Their next step would possibly to look before, in tithe applotments and freeholders records (free at proni) and after, in Griffiths Valuation and for later marriages and births, in the 1901 Census. I love this new era of sharing! There is so much more available than there was when I first started my search.

Does anyone know if there are records (census, BMD, land, etc.) for the Banbridge area from 1750 to about 1830? I seek information on a Graham family from this area, as below.
