Title: Looking for Baptismal Records from Kilkeel, County Down 1820-1850
Post by: AlbatrossIV on Saturday 04 April 15 08:13 BST (UK)
Hi there. Hoping someone may be able to assist. Looking for the baptisms for the Parents of James Cummin (s) and Margaret Cummin (s) nee Nesbitt from Kilkeel, County Down between 1820 and 1850. I have located them in Australia but having difficulty locating their baptisms in Northern Ireland. Any help is appreciated. The children I have are Mary Elizabeth b. 1820, Anne b. 1824, Robert b. 1827, Edward John b. 1828, Jane b. 1830, Alexander b. 1834-1835, Margaret b. 1835-1836.

Also anyone I can contact to look up their parents James Cummin marriage and birth in County Down, possibly Maghray.

Thank you

Hi Jim G. Many thanks. I have just emailed Ros Davies and hopefully she may be able to assist. Looking for the marriage of James Cummin and Margaret Nesbitt as well as James' baptism and parents.

All the best.

Hi Jim D
I searched quickly Cummin and Cummings at http://www.ancestryireland.com/, http://www.emeraldancestors.com/ and found none of the above recorded
Which leaves familysearch over to you and church records
If james made a will before leaving that might be recorded at PRONI or if either wrote back to Ireland, there might be a search at http://www.dippam.ac.uk/ied/
keep going JimG
