  • Hi there,

    Could you please add additional information, such as the period in time you are interested in. This will help both me and the local communities to help you further.

    RC church records for Aghaloo start from 1832 (marriage records) and 1846 (baptismal records).

    Please make sure you link anyone else in your family who is interested in their Irish heritage to our site - and indeed anyone else you know of Irish heritage.

    Kind regards,

  • The Wilsons and Hamiltons were Presbyterian.  James Wilson and Mary Hamilton married in 1838 at Aughnacloy and emigrated to Australia in 1842.  They had six children, Robert 1840, James 1845, Hannah 1848, Agnes 1850, John 1852 and Ellen 1853.

  • Hi there,

    Here is a little information about Presbyterian records in Ireland:

    In general, Presbyterian registers start much later than those of the Church of Ireland, and early records of Presbyterian baptisms, marriages and deaths are often to be found in the registers of the local Church of Ireland parish. There are exceptions, however; in areas which had a strong Presbyterian population from an early date, particularly in the north east, some registers date from the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries. The only published listing remains that included in Margaret Falley's Irish and Scotch Irish Ancestral Research, (repr. Genealogical Publishing Co., 1988). This, however, gives a very incomplete and out of date picture of the extent and location of the records.

    For the six counties of Northern Ireland, and many of the adjoining counties, the Guide to Church Records: Public Record Office of Northern Ireland, (PRONI, 1994) provides a good guide to the dates of surviving registers. The copy of the list held in the Office itself includes a listing of Registers in Local Custody which covers all of Ireland, but is much less comprehensive for the south than for the north.
