IRISH FAMILY HISTORY FOUNDATION

New Records Online for Counties Antrim and Down

over 27,000 new Church of Ireland records 
These new baptism, marriage and burial records are from 24 parishes across Antrim and Down and were transcribed by our Emeritus Research Director, Dr Brian Trainor.

 Details included..

Name of Church	County	Type of record	Years covered	No. of entries

These new records contain a wealth of information of use to both the family and local historian and the burial registers, in particular, are full of interesting entries.
For example in Ardkeen CI there was noted the burial entry of Henry Cleland, aged around four months old, in 1823 with a note by the minister that stated that he was “found dead in a field with a letter mentioning his name. Perished from cold and hunger; Coroner's inquest wilful murder.”
