Hi Bill, You are going like a train here. I see you in the list every day. Hope you are finding something. You might find what you are looking for in one of the Gravestone Inscriptions - Co Down Series published by the Ulster Historical Society. There are 19 volumes. You would order it by the Barony, and I don't know which barony Rathfriland is in. You can sometimes find these books in good public libraries that are into genealogy. Regards, Sarah.

Geraldine, The Scots have very good records. Civil registration of marriages in Ireland started in 1845, and I think Scotland could be the same. You may be able to get a marriage certificate which will give you at least the bride and groom's fathers' names. Try this web site which allows you to order certificates: http://www.genfindit.com/ideaths.html They have both Ireland and Scotland on it. The certificates cost $18, which is a lot less than they would be if you ordered them from Edinburgh. You could also searchScottish marriage records at an LDS family history centre.

Thanks, Sarah. I found that list and sent a query out to it today. I hope to get something. I'm stuck at Alexander and haven't been able to find out his parents, siblings, etc. Am hoping someone knows something......

Is there a searchable site for the names/rosters of the Cromwellian soldiers who were resettled into Ireland following the fall of Drogheda in 1649? I have an ancestor who was most likely one of these men and would like to try to track him down, filling in the gap of time between then and about 1700 when they showed up in County Down. Also, would this info include anythin about where they came from in England and their families? Bill Hughes [email protected] Peoria, Arizona ô¿ô SMILE, it drives the "normal" folks crazy!

Can someone please help me find cemetery surveys of the areas around Kinghill/Rathfriland from the early-to-mid 1700s? I know that they were Presbyterians and lived in Kinghill, but am not sure about where the churches were located at that time. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, Everyone: I'm new to the list and am looking for information on the following: ALEXANDER ERWIN b. 1799 in Hockly Armagh, Ireland d. February 1, 1879 in Mono Twp, Dufferin County, Ontario, Canada who married MARYANN WILSON of Antrim - b. 1796 Hockly Armagh, Ireland d. June 11, 1877 Churchville, Ontario, Canada. I'm looking for information our family's roots in Ireland.. ALEXANDER ERWIN and his wife, MARYANN WILSON immigrated to Canada in 1817, arriving in Quebec. I understand the Erwins (Irwins) traveled by boat and wagon to Hockley Valley. They took up residence on Lot 4, Con. 8, Mono Twp, Dufferin County in 1817. Alexander Erwin kept a general store. They had 8 children, two of whom immigrated to Rochester, NY. (Names of the 8 were: William, James, John, Mary Jane, Ann, Martha and Robert.) Please send replies to: Pamela B. Erwin email: [email protected] Thank you.

I am researching Ann McGuigan and John Kenny (Kinney). These are my great grandparents who were born in Ireland, married in Glasgow about 1850 and settled in the USA. I do not have their parent's names. The children's names were Peter, John, Henry, Elizabeth, James, Annie, George, Jane and Helen Geraldine

Thanks to all who responeded to my question. I appreciate your replies. I apologize for any controversy it may have caused. I had no intention of causing mayhem on the list. I was only looking for an answer to what I thought was a simple question from someone more familiar with such things. By the way, I have no idea what, if any, religion my Irish ancestors may have practiced. It really makes no difference me. Let's end the comments and replies now and carry on with more appropriate genealogicial questions. Larry >I just found within the past year that my Parkhill ancestors were from Northern Ireland. I am somewhat ignorant of the details of the St Paddy's day traditions. >Do Northern Irish celebrate this day? In the US people with Irish blood wear something green and drink green beer and such.

Here's the address: The Stationery Office 71 Lothian Rd Edinburgh EH3 NAZ 0131 228 4181 fax 0131 622 7017 I pass by it every week, so if you want, I will check and see if they have the book on Northern Ireland ancestors. Dorothy

Thanks for your help. Kathy Kathy, I'm not an expert but people usually went for the lowest cost and disregareded distance. A lot of the Northerner went out of Belfast to Liverpool. Then from Liverpool to Cork to US. I am not sure if they were still embarking from Londonderry at that date. Tom McTear

Belinda, I was told by one person that the Catholic Churches for Newtownbutler were: St. Mary's and St. Patrick's. The person told me to address the envelope: Parish Priest, Newtownbutler, Enniskillen, Co. Fermanagh, NI I hope this helps. I have written a letter to the priest and I hope that I find some of my McCaffrey relatives this way. Good luck.
