Hello tofrek,

What denomination were the Moon family?

You'll have to rely on Church records as civil registration in Ireland was not introduced until 1864. Non Catholic marriages were registered from 1845 onwards. When registration for BDMS started in 1864 some people didn't bother with the registration for a few years after that date. Keep your fingers crossed that church records still exist.

This query on Moons looks familiar- think it might have been posted, and answered?, on another website.
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!

Hello Christopher

The Moons were Congregationalists. John Moon and Margaret Jane Moon(nee Sherrard) had at least one son, James, born in 1867 in Ardkill, Glendermott.  James lived most of his life in Coleraine. I am very anxious to learn more about John and Margaret and their respective histories. Thank You for any help in this regard.

Tofrek- my friend never responded to my requests for more information on the Moons although I do believe that she or the person she was doing the looking for do have more details than I made note of a while ago.

Hello Christopher

Thanks for the message. Seems that address is no longer active. Message not deliverable. Any thoughts?
