Ballymacarrett
« on: Thursday 19 April 07 02:07 BST (UK) »
Is St Patrick's Church of Ireland, Ballymacarrett in County Down?

I am told Ballymacarrett is in East Belfast - doesn't that then make it a part of County Antrim?

Hello Sarah,

You are quite right. Ballymacarrett is in East Belfast which qualifies as Co. Antrim these days.

Thanks Christopher,

Do you know which County it would have been a part of in 1888?

Sorry to put a spanner in the works!
I have just looked at the Rainey/Robb marriage on Emerald Ancestors and here is what it says
2/2/1888 Robert Rainey/Annie Robb
in St. Patricks Ballymacarrett Church of Ireland
PARISH:  Knockbreda
Civil District:  Belfast
COUNTY:  Down

Most of my family births in East Belfast say Co. Down.

Thank you very much to both Christopher and RosemaryJoan...

I think I can now safely reference Ballymacarrett as being a part of County Down in 1888.

My Great grandparents were married  in 1893 and my grandfather was born 1906 in BALLYMACARRETT and on both of these certificates were from civil district Belfast, County Antrim.

The change in county must have occurred between 1888 and 1893.
