Technical Help / Re: Microfiche viewer

Hi Bob
I'm afraid I haven't a clue about microfische machines other than sitting down and using them. I never even thought of looking at their names or specifications.

The Common Room / Re: Belfast Meet Saturday 29th July

So sorry. I can't make it on 29th. Scottish family members insist on visiting us that week. I would have enjoyed the day.
Is there another meet later in the year?

Antrim Completed Look up Requests / Re: Belfast Catholic Records

Hi
I was perusing the Chat aspect of this site & I noticed your correspondence with an Anthony re records at St. Patrick's church. Did you ever get the info you required? St. Patricks is part of the large Diocese of Down & Connor, and is situated in Donegall Street, Belfast.
The Shankill area you mentioned runs at right angles to The Falls Road. The Falls area is predominately Catholic & the Shankill area is predominately Protestant. They are both sited in West Belfast. They don't exactly see eye to eye with each other, although there are now some cross-community schemes in operation. Tensions between them is far less now than it was some years ago.
If you haven't found that Certificate I will see what help I can give you, but I suspect Anthony has already sorted out your problem.
If there are any other threads concerning people born or living in Belfast, send me an email via this site.

Kind regards
Ed

Hi
I have been there. Official records of Births & Marriages started in 1864. They would have been retained in Dublin at that time because there was no Republic of Ireland then. However, rcords of the Births & Marriages are also retained in Belfast now. They can search for anyone born in the 'Six Counties' from 1864 for these, and the records of Deaths began a little later. The Mormon Church genealogical facilities have copies of such records for the whole of Ireland on reels. I use that facility quite often. Was there a specific name you wished to research? I may be able to look through some reels for you next week.
Kind regards
Ed.
