Parents marriage registered in Antrim 7th May 1869. The marriage cert should give you their fathers names, townlands and occupations to take the research back.
James Berisford (was born 4.10.1869; Wm James was born 28.6.1874; Francis 16.11.1881, Alfred 21.4.1886. In addition there also appears to have been David 12.6.1884, Mary 2.6.1885, George Edgar 19.6.1891 & Thomas 22.6.1893. .All registered in Antrim town.
