Nan, Are there any records from St. John the Baptist, Ballygorian Beg? I know the records from Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Cabragh are with St. John the Evangelist Church but St. John the Evangelist Church didn't open until 1850. I've never got a satisfactory answer on where Catholics would have been baptized and/or married before 1850 if they lived in the Bryansford Rd area (but in Clonduff CP). A researcher did find my great grandparents' marriage record in Kilcoo Church but I'm not sure if my great grandfather was also from there since he was settled on Drumboniff townland by 1852. I wish there was a historian on the Catholic Church in the Clonduff CP.
