Thanks for the responses. Just wasn't sure if I was missing something! Such a shame they were not registered because all the little details are lost. This family seem to have been at St Pats for a long time, but it's impossible to connect families together without addresses, occupations etc. Oh well, the search continues. Thanks again!

Antrim / Did Roman Catholics make civil registrations in Belfast?
« on: Monday 08 April 24 15:27 BST (UK) »
Hi everyone. I've been researching my tree for a long time, but I'm searching my family in Belfast and seem to be really stuck. This is the first time my tree branches into RC records. Hope you can help.
My 3xgt grandmother Sarah Feeney (b.1856) married John Walsh (b.1850) on 9 Feb 1877 at St Patrick's RC church, Belfast. However I cannot find a civil marriage record for her. I'm having the same trouble with other family births and marriages. Did members of the catholic/nationalist community in Belfast not make civil registrations? I'm guessing they maybe didn't recognise the British government and is that why they wouldn't have registered BMD? I have marriage and baptism information for several people that I found in St Patrick's parish records, but I cannot confirm a single thing with civil registration. This family line lived in the Carrick Hill area of Belfast. Any info/advice would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks.
