Can anyone tell me how to find the Presbyterian Church records for Kilkeel? Are they online anywhere?

Thanks,
Esther

Very few church records are online. Kilkeel Presbyterian Church has its own website with a section on its history-
http://www.kilkeelpc.com/history.html

PRONI, Belfast do have microfilmed copies of some of the church records- www.proni.gov.uk

What period are you interested in?

I'm looking for the birth records of two brothers. Thomas Gordon b 1813 and his brother William b about two years later. The parents were James Gordon and Jane Cummin(s).

I would also like to find the marriage of James and Jane. They were both deceased by 1842.

Sorry, but Kilkeel Presbyterian Church started around 1822. The link for history of church on their website explains that.
