Thanks Eddie

Termoneeny Church of Ireland records (on 2 microfilms):
Baptisms 1821-1882
Marriages 1821-1838, 1845-1891
Burials 1833, 1846-1961

PRONI and Coleraine Library have the above records on microfilm but I can't see the 2 microfilms in LDS catalogue.

Ok,

Thanks for that, cheers!

Is there anyway of accessing those records outside of Ireland?  or are they only held in that location?

Do you know if there exist any census's from 1831-1861 from Knockcloghrim?

Cheers Eddie

Early Irish census records were destroyed- 1901 is first one available for that area as far as I can find.

If LDS had copies of the records you could view them at your local LDS library but they don't have them listed in their catalogue so it looks like only available here in Northern Ireland.

Ok, thanks.

I know the family moved from Northern Ireland to County Durham England between 1863 and 1865.  Does anyone know any history of the Knockcloghrim area around then?  did many people leave the area around that time or were this family unique in moving on?  Just wonder why they moved to Sherburn Hill, County Durham, North East England of all places.

Cheers Eddie

The history of Ireland is full of migrations and Co. Derry is no exception. I don't know of any particular movement between Knockloughrim area and Co. Durham in particular but suspect it might have been related to employment. I do know of several members of a family from the area who went to Newcastle area in 1860s but they were medical doctors who had first studied in America and then went to England after completing their studies.

Ok, thanks.

Wouldn't this area be covered by the 1831 census fragments - Co Londonderry householders - available on microfilm at PRONI?

[aghadowey]

Yes, of course, I'd forgotten Termoneeny is in 1831 fragments. Have searched but can't come up with any online transcriptions of it (Dunboe, for example, is one several sites).
