Hello Greg,

I don't think they'd include BMDs

Estate records usually contain information about tenants not their entire family.

Thanks Guys.

Does anyone know, are there BMD records for this area (late 1700s to early 1800s). I've heard many Irish records were destroyed in a fire.

Cheers.
Greg

Civil registration of births, deaths and Catholic marriages started 1864 (from 1845 for other marriages). Before these dates there are no birth, death or marriage certificates. No civil bmd records were destroyed.
For earlier dates you need to search for church records (of they exist). To do so you need to know the family's religion and where they lived (parish if not townland).
