Title: John Quin and Eliza Cain
Post by: HeathersLaw on Saturday 10 June 06 15:50 BST (UK)

Looking for information On John Quin and Eliza Cain. I know they had a son Andrew born Belfast about 1839. Andrew married in May 1865 In Newtownards Co Down and his father was a Farmer or Farm Labourer.

Many Thanks
Heather

Hello Heather,

What denomination were your Quin 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.
