McLaughlin Family Coleraine

PRONI is closed until April 2011 although church microfilms should be available at Creggagh Library during this interim period (see www.proni.gov.uk) or Coleraine Library has copies of the records for St. John's R.C. Church (baptisms 1843-1880) on microfilm in box #27.

Hi there,

Thank you so much for all of your help with my questions, I actually rang Coleraine Library today and spoke to a girl there who confirmed they have the records for St John's so I will have to arrange a weekend to go up (as I am from Dublin) and view the records, visit Killowen parish and maybe visit the graves...

This is so exciting, thank you for your help and advice.

If going to Coleraine Library I'd advise pre-booking microfilm reader to avoid not getting a machine. The box you want is #27.

[franmclaugh]

Thank you, I will do that. They also said they do family history sessions so they will help me gather some information if I notify them in advance, so I will be sure to also book the microfilm reader when I notify them.

I really appreciate you help.

I was wondering if the middle name Donnelly mentioned on the possible marriage match was a surname from a first marriage or a middle name - and found this possible civil birth record that may be worth following up.

 Name: Cathrine Donelly Campbell
 Registration District: Coleraine
 Event Type: Birth
 Year: 1865
 volume : 11 / page : 434

p.s. I also sent you a pm...

Cathrine Donelly Campbell born 15 July 1865 Aghadowey district, daughter of Thomas Campbell and Jane Templeton (from LDS Pilot Site).
Note: Coleraine is the registration district (as in record Shane found but Aghadowey is the sub-district).

If you'd like I can see if I have records of other children, what townland they lived in, etc.

[franmclaugh]

Thank you - yes if you can, could you please check for other children etc that would be brilliant.

Shane - thank you so much, it is getting really interesting now, I wonder was Catherine married previously. I will have to try to get a birth cert, I previously looked up Catherine in the National Library Ireland but couldn't find her, I will check again now that I know the exact year.

Based on the matching birth index, extracted record and marriage index - I'd say that Donnelly was a middle name for Catherine. The 1865 birth would fit with an 1887 marriage when aged about 22.

You can order and collect certs in the GRO in Dublin (Abbey St) using the references mentioned above.
