I was trying to find out the marriage of a George Hamilton to an Agnes in 1884?I wanted to find out where they married aswell, if possible?
I know George was living in Coobane at the time of the 1911 census.
He also had 10 children.
If more information is needed I will provide.

Hi,
Ryans Presbyterian church is situated about halfway between Rathfriland and Newry, in south Down. Try looking at http://www.raymondscountydownwebsite.com/
Cheers, Sam.

Hi,
I should also have added that Ryans church would be in the townland of Finnard and also that Cobane is about 2/3 miles east of Newry towards Mayobridge and about 2 miles to the west of Ryans church.
Cheers, Sam.

From a recent visit to these townlands, researching the names of McKee and Kennedy, I noticed there are still Hamilton's predominately in Ryan and Finnard to date.
