Hi,
Thank you for your message.
Civil registration did not begin in Ireland until 1864, so any births, marriages, deaths would have been recorded by the Church.
Do you know what religion the family were?
Most Catholic records are held locally so you may need to write to the local parish priest for possible assistance. One website that you may find useful is the Irish Times where they give an overview of what records are available in specific parishes. For Killeeshil parish, follow this link:
For information on Church of Ireland records check http://ireland.anglican.org/about/42 and http://www.nationalarchives.ie/.
www.familysearch.org also have a collection of records available.
www.rootsireland.ie have a huge collection of Church records, however you have to pay to see these records.
It may also be an idea to contact the Irish World Heritage Centre in Tyrone for possible assistance- however a fee may apply.
