David Laurie/Lawrie married Mary McDowal 1807

[bluedoo]

The above are my ancestors they were married in Downpatrick but I don't know whether church/chapel although family appear to be Protestant, they had a son Robert born 1808 don't know where in N Ireland supposedly Co Down, they move to Scotland and had Alexander born in Kilmarnock 1/10/1821, I'm unable to find any children in between, can anybody give me pointers. I'm also looking for information on David Gilmour/Gilmore from Co Down dob approx 1842 he also move to Scotland don't know when but he married 02/06/1871 an Elizabeth Cairns whose birthplace is Dalry, Ayrshire, any help with these would be appreciated.

Civil registration of births, deaths and Catholic marriages in Ireland began in 1864 (from 1845 for other marriages). For earlier dates you need to search for church records (if they exist). To do so you need to know the family's religion and where they lived (parish if not actual townland not just the county).
