first child born in 1865.

Many thanks

I started with www.familysearch.org and found an Edward Mooney and a Mary McAlister were having children in Portglenone
Margaret Christening Place:   179, PORTGLENONE, ANT, IRE Birth Date:   15 May 1865
Patrick Christening Place:   159, PORTGLENONE, ANT, IRE Birth Date:   11 Feb 1868
perhaps another child
Edward Mooney Birth Date:   16 Apr 1873 Birthplace: Antrim, Ireland
but I didn’t find a marriage entry
I also tried emerald ancestry and ancestryireland  for the marriage bit I couldnt find it.
My conclusion is I dont know how to trace 179, and 159, and that either might name the church!

In 1862  from Griffiths valuation see www.askaboutireland.com, some Eight miles west of Ballymena are the townlands of CARMAGRIM[modest house ten shillings pa map ref 37e]  and GORTGOLE [modest house ten shillings pa map ref 14c] in PORTGLENONE civil parish. Either there are two Edward Mooney associated with the townlands eg father and son or it’s the same person.
There are also
McAlister    Patrick    Gortgole  Antrim    Portglenone   
McAlister    Anne       Gortgole Antrim    Portglenone       
McAlister    John       Gortgole Antrim    Portglenone       
McAlister    Charles    Gortgole Antrim    Portglenone       
McAlister    Rose       Gortgole Antrim    Portglenone       
McAlister    Anne       Killycoogan Antrim    Portglenone       
McAlister    John       Lisnagarran Antrim    Portglenone
I didn’t have time to check other spelling of the McAlister
 
Some 37 years earlier in Portglenone, the Tithe Applotment Books recorded
McAlister., John    Townland : Finkillagh Year: 1825
McAllester, Hector    Townland : Drumrankin Year: 1825
McAllister, Arthur    Townland : Lisnagarron Year: 1825
McAllister, Charles    Townland : Gortgole Year: 1825
McAllister, Chas.    Townland : Gortgole Year: 1825
McAllister, John    Townland : Finkiltagh Year: 1834
Mooney, Francis    Townland : Gortgole Year: 1825
Mooney, Hugh    Townland : Ballynafie Year: 1825
Mooney, Laurance    Townland : Gortgole Year: 1825
Mooney, Pat.       Townland : Bracknamuckley Year: 1834
Mooney, Pat       Townland : Gortaheron Year: 1825
Mooney, Patk.       Townland : Breaknamuckly Year: 1825
Mooney, Robert    Townland : Gortaheron Year: 1825
Mooney, Thomas    Townland : Killycoogan Year: 1825
Mooney, Thos.    Townland : Ballynafie Year: 1825
Mooney, Thos.    Townland : Killycoogan Year: 1825
Moony, Samuel    Townland : Gortaheron Year: 1825

so its interesting to note McAllister and Mooneys were living within the same townland
of  GORTGOLE, and other nearby townlands

I started with www.familysearch.org and found an Edward Mooney and a Mary McAlister were having children in Portglenone
Margaret Christening Place:   179, PORTGLENONE, ANT, IRE Birth Date:   15 May 1865
Patrick Christening Place:   159, PORTGLENONE, ANT, IRE Birth Date:   11 Feb 1868
perhaps another child
Edward Mooney Birth Date:   16 Apr 1873 Birthplace: Antrim, Ireland
but I didn’t find a marriage entry
I also tried emerald ancestry and ancestryireland  for the marriage bit I couldnt find it.
My conclusion is I dont know how to trace 179, and 159, and that either might name the church!

The two above records are from extracted birth registrations and the numbers are merely the page numbers in the register (Portglenone is the registration sub-district)- nothing to do with church records.
