Title: James Townley's
Post by: HeathersLaw on Saturday 10 June 06 15:43 BST (UK)

Seeking information on James Townley Snr and Jnr from Ardmilian Parish. James Townley Jnr married 10 March 1829 Killinchy to Agnes Sheilds.

I have no mother/wife and I don't know if there was any other children. Can anyone help please.

Hello Heather,

What denomination were your Townley ancestors?

You'll have to rely on Church records as civil registration in Ireland was not introduced until 1864. Non Catholic marriages were registered from 1845 onwards. When registration for BDMS started in 1864 some people didn't bother with the registration for a few years after that date. Keep your fingers crossed that church records still exist.
