Thanks Kingskerswell

ancestry.co.uk has it has 1876. Do you think yours is the same one?

Hi,
   Same names and religion. 10 Oct 1875 Belfast (Urban 6) R.C. Church. Two sources agree.

Thank you so much.

Hi

This is an extract from PRONI Calendar of Wills & Administrations. In the column marked Registry can anyone tell me what "Principal" means? Instead of say Belfast? For example Frances Moody W(ill) Principal 1864 or Andrew Moody W(ill) Belfast 1870, Andrew Moody W(ill) Principal 1872

Hi,
   There were three registration offices for wills in Ulster, Armagh, Londonderry and Belfast. I assume that "Principal" refers to the main registration office in Dublin.

Thank you so much. Unfortunately, Frances' will shows she was a spinster.

I came across this map and thought of this thread. It shows Smithfield in relation to Little Patrick St etc.

Hi Guys

With the new RC records coming on line I have found my link with Randalstown and the Alexander Moody (the farmer ) who got into a fight and lost his life that I mentioned in my original post - so my Alexander Moody is not the guy who died in Scotland.

Just thought I'd give an update to anyone using the thread in the future.

So the will of Mary Moody mentioned on the 2nd page - with references to Mary and Alexander's children - Mary, Margaret, Elizabeth, Alexander & Hugh are also my family.

Thank You for all your help.
