Sloan family of Ballycregagh.
« on: Wednesday 30 November 16 21:29 GMT (UK) »
David Sloan married Matilda ??? (possibly Gregg) in 1845. Their eldest son William emigrated to NZ in the 1870's. Second? son David inherited the farm in 1893 (will). Looking for any birth or marriage records.

It's not clear how much information you already have and exactly what you are looking for but civil registration of births & deaths began 1864 (non-Catholic marriages from 1845) so for earlier dates church records can be the only indication of when people were born or married and possibly died (not all churches kept burial records).
