Help with finding Sarah McDermott's maiden name

PS Now I've done the same! 
I meant to type Hillen not Hillman.

Hi Theresa

I went back to the Dungannon records just to double check if I had missed Mary Jane's baptism, but I still couldn't find any baptism after 1842.  The microfilm is hard to read, so it might be worth your while having a look at it when you get to PRONI - 2 heads are better than one!  I also had another look at the 1839 baptism and I now believe that the child baptised was James (not John) and the father's name was also James.  The priest who recorded the baptism had very bad handwriting and what initially looked like Jno, I now believe is Jms.

I then looked at the Newry parish records and could find no other baptism other than Margaret's.  So either Mary Jane was baptised in either Dungannon or Newry and is missing from the register or else they lived elsewhere before moving to Newry.

If I find anything more on your McDermotts, I will let you know.

Enjoy your trip to Northern Ireland.

Regards

Deirdre

Hi Deirdre,
Thank you for checking out the Newry records also for taking a second look at Dungannon.The first James, born in 1838 must have died. And what a shame there was no Mary Jane! 
I'm sure you've done a very thorough job of looking through these records, but I can have another look whilst I am there.I have taken note of all the info you have found for me. I have an email ready to sent to the Catholic Church in Church St, Rostrevor. 
Only two weeks to go before holidays!
Thank you again,
Theresa
