Hi from Australia!

Our missing links are somewhere in the region of Dromore, Co Tyrone.

23/12/1853 William Quinn born abt 1826 marries Sarah McFarlane (also mis-spelled McFarland) born abt 1828 in Killskil Parish Church Dungannon.

13/08/1854 William and his very pregnant Sarah emigrate to Australia on the "Monsoon"

I have great coverage here in Australia - lots of cousins! -, but am at a complete standstill trying to take it back across the water.  I've checked the IGI & other resources, but can't seem to catch a break.

Hints, tips, data or relatives all welcome and gratefully received.  Cheers Kirstin

Kirstin,

Statutory records of birth, death & marriage records started in Ireland in 1864 (1845 for Protestant and Non-Conformist marriages). Prior to that you are heavily dependant on church records, where they exist. In general, there are few records prior to 1800.

Some Irish BDM records are searchable on line on the LDS pilot site, but some records are still held by the individual church (some declined to allow their records to be copied) and so this website is not the complete picture:

http://search.labs.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html#p=allCollections&r=1

I can see the marriage of Wm Quin & Sarah McFarland on the site. Dungannon 1853 Vol 5, p 523. You can order a copy of the MC from GRO Roscommon. Ask for a research copy. Should cost €4. www.groireland.ie/  That may give you both father's names. (Not certain whether the very early certs do have fathers names) but in any case the cert should give you some additional data re addresses and witnesses.

After that you probably want to search Church of Ireland records. (I think the correct spelling of the parish is Killeeshil) For Northern Ireland, the Public Record Office (PRONI) has copies of many of the parish registers, and has a list of those held elsewhere. www.proni.gov.uk/
The records themselves are not on line and you need to search them in person (or get someone else to do it for you, since you are in Oz). PRONI is temporarily closed until April 2011 but there are temporary arrangements to view this data at Cregagh Library, Belfast. See PRONI website.

Thanks a bundle! I've not used that search engine before - they all have their peculiar ways don't they?  I have some practice ahead of me but have just spent an enjoyable couple of hours searching for my missing links.

Anyhow, I found and will fax the order in on monday for the record you located and we shall see what else comes to mind form the evidence.

Thanks so much for your help - it is greatly appreciated.

Cheers Kirstin

Don't know any McFarlane's BUT McPartland is very common in the coalisland area.
You must remember that a loe of records were written by english speakers who had no knowledge/intrest in Gealge and had trouble with the accent, hence misspellings and variations. My personall opinion is to always check for similar sounding names.
