These records from Sacred Heart Belfast, St Mary's Belfast and St Vincent de Paul Belfast cover the years 1890 to 1930. Click the link below for more details... County Antrim Sources These baptismal records are of great use for family history research, containing the names and address of the parents and the names of the sponsors. The entries often contain details of the later marriage of the child; in a number of instances this event took place outside of Ireland, in Britain, Canada, New Zealand or the United States.
