Hi Everyone, I am researching the Rices of the parish of Lower Killevy, Co. Armagh. My gr gr grandfather, Bernard Rice was born Sept. 4, 1837 in the RC parish of Lower Killevy. His parents were John Rice and Ann Burns (Byrne or Byrnes). He had at least two brothers and three sisters: James b. 1831 Mary Ann b. ? Bridget b. Jan. 31, 1840 Felix b. June 23, 1842 Catharine b. Apr. 16, 1845. The family apparently left Lower Killevy after Catharine's birth, that is, after 1845, and they appear in New Olreans around 1853 or so. The mother Ann Rice is there with James, Mary Ann, Bernard, and Felix. Don't know what happened to the other two sisters or their father. I have transcribed the baptismal records from the RC Parish of Lower Killevy, Feb. 1835 - Dec. 1850, the marriage records from Lower Killevy, Feb. 1835 - Dec. 1850, and the Baptismal records for Upper Killevy, Oct. 1832 - Aor. 1845 (so far), for the surnames in my family, including Rice. My gr gr grandfather was Bernard C. Rice, baptized Sept. 4, 1837 in Lower Killevy. I am interested in distributing these records in hope of finding more about my Rice family.
