I wish to know the baptismal place of one James William Goulden born in Belfast in 1828. He migrated to Australia and married Maria Wauhope there in 1857. He died in 1877 in Sydney, Australia. Many thanks!!

Hi,
The Irish Genalogy Toolkit http://www.irish-genealogy-toolkit.com/index.html has great articles on how the records are compiled in Ireland. The guide helps a person through suggestions, pointers, and will enable your search results. Records are compiled through a large variety of repositories but depend on a variety of variables, such as immigration dates, religious preference, Township, etc... Can you track down the type of burial James had?
Some records might be under a variant of the spelling This site can help to find out what spellings there are in Ireland. http://www.irishtimes.com/ancestor/surname/
I'm not certain where you are located, but there is an article found that might give some clues on how to approach the australian end of the search. http://www.nma.gov.au/audio/transcripts/NMA_Mcintyre_20110629.html
The National Archives of Ireland has many links to further assist you in your endeavour.
