Henry Moffett, my 5th Great Grandfather; Samuel Moffett, my 4th Great Grandfather; Mary Donaldson, my 4th Great Grandmother; and John Donaldson, my 5th Great Grandfather and Jane Simpson, my 5th Great Grandmother and were all born in Lislea Lisnadill, Co. Armagh, Ireland. I show that Jane Simpson also died there in 1786. I am interested in any information that I can get.

Good Afternoon
Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out and apologies for the delay in replying to your message.
As you can see from the link below, Lisnadill is a Civil Parish in Co. Armagh:
Church of Ireland records for Lisnadill begin in have been indexed by ?Armagh Ancestry? up to 1900 while the records for the corresponding Roman Catholic Parish of Ballymacnab begin in 1820.
There are some places where you can search online, however these websites do not have complete collections and many do not cover the period after 1900:
www.familysearch.org has a huge database of genealogical records including some church records for Ireland.
www.rootsireland.ie have a large collection of Irish Church records, however you have to pay to use this site.
http://churchrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/ have begun a project to upload Irish church records to their site free of charge. However so far only Counties Dublin, Kerry, Carlow and parts of Cork have been covered.
Some other websites that may be helpful are:
The National Archives of Ireland: http://www.nationalarchives.ie/genealogy1/genealogy-records/introduction/ - you can search the 1901/1911 Census on the National Archives page too
