I am researching my 3 times great grandmother, Jane CASKEY (married name). She married Paul CASKEY in about 1810/1811 in Coleraine. No record of her marriage exists. But a newspaper notice in "The Coleraine Chronicle" of 26 November 1870 has a Death entry: "Caskey - At Camm, on the 20th inst., Jane, wife of Mr Paul Caskey, age 80 years."
I have seen a number of family trees which have Jane as one of the daughters of Hugh BELLAS and Elizabeth KING. I have not found any records to confirm this.
Is anyone able to help, please?

Unfortunately Rev. Bryce was better at recording baptisms than marriages so there is no record of Paul's marriage there. I can't think of any Bellas family in the immediate area and would be suspicious of her parents being Hugh Bellas & Elizabeth King.
