We are looking for birth or baptism records on Thomas Lodford Frizzle born 1810. He emigrated from County Antrim in 1830 according to his tombstone. He emigrated to Prince Edward Island, Canada. We know that his family was protestant and that he had three brothers and possibly one sister who all emigrated to Canada. Some ending up in English speaking Quebec. Confirmed sibling is William Frizzle who was born about 1819 in Antrim and was possibly baptised 10 Jan 1819 Donoghmore, Tyrone, Ireland. Robert Frizzle was born about 1802. Anne was a sibling (see below she could be connected to this record) Thomas married Mary Nimmon Bell on May 2 1835 in St. Paul's Church in Prince Edward Island. They had 14 children who were all born in Prince Edward Island. Robert Frizzle (1836 - 1918), James Frizzle (1853 - 1874), Sarah Frizzle (1854- 1940). Easter Frizzle (1863 - 1955), Isabella (1860 - 1942), Alexander Frizzle (1858 - 1929), Margaret Jane (1850 - 1933), William Frizzle (1840 - 1929), Thomas (1842 - 1922), John Frizzle (1837 - 1961), Mary Frizzle (1838 - 1918), Elizabeth Frizzle (1844-1931), Samuel (1846 - 1931), Nicholas (1847 - 1931).
We have a possible connection to Anne Frizzle (sibling to Thomas) who was born on 20 Jan 1820. She was baptised on 24 Jun 1821 in Ruskcor, Ireland to William and Mary Frizzle. She married William Forbes on 12 Jun 1840 at St. Michaels' church in Castlecaufield Parish of Donoghamore, Diocise of Amagh, County Tyrone.
We are connected to Ancestry and have about 1400 Frizzell's so far but we have been unable to find Thomas's parents and sibling records. Your help would be most appreciated.

Griffiths Valuation for 1860 lists William Frizell as farming plot 10 in Reaskcor, Co. Tyrone. That was a10 acre farm which today is up a lane off the Reaskcor Rd, near Parkanaur Manor House.

The revaluation records show it remaining in William’s name till 1872 when Richie Frizell took over. He left in 1885 and the tenant was named Williamson after that. No Frizells in the townland in the 1901 census. Looking at the census there were 64 people named Frizell in the county. Most were Church of Ireland. Some were Presbyterian and there was 1 RC.
A possible death for William Frizell 16.7.1868 aged 86, registered in Dungannon. You can view the original certificate on-line on the GRONI website, using the “search registrations” option:
You will need to open an account and buy some credits. It costs £2.50 (sterling) to a view a certificate.
You don’t say what denomination the family was. But for most records prior to 1864 you will need church records. There are 2 Church of Ireland churches in Donaghmore. Donaghmore itself has records from 1748; Donaghmore Upper lost its early records in the 1922 fire in Dublin and has none prior to 1877. Carland Presbyterian has records from 1759, Castlecaulfield Presbyterian from 1855. The RC records start in 1837.
The RC records are on-line on the NLI site. For the other records you would need to go to PRONI (the public record office) in Belfast and look them up.
