Hi,
Thank you for your message.
Unfortunately the reality of finding information/documentation from the 17th century is that it simply may not exist. Records keeping prior to 1800 was not a strongpoint in Ireland, and any records that do exist from the pre-1800 period are often fragmented.
However, it may be an idea for you to contact the Ulster Historical Foundation for assistance as they may have the resources to carry out such research. It is important to be aware that a fee will probaly apply for their services. Here are their contact details:
Ulster Historical Foundation,
49 Malone Road,
Belfast BT9 6RY,
Northern Ireland.
Phone: +44 (0) 28 9066 1988 Email: enquiry@uhf.org.uk
I hope that they are able to assist you.
Kind regards,
