Rathfriland.  Beggs/ Brown.  Presbyterian church records?

Rathfriland 1st Presbyterian church has baptisms from 1827, marriages from 1782; 2nd has baptism and marriages from 1804 and 3rd has them from 1834. Copies of all 3 sets of records are held in PRONI in Belfast.

Sorry!  I have confused two branches of my Brown ancestors.

Thomas Browne born 1789 to Thomas Browne and Margaret Henning in Rathfriland?
Married Elizabeth Arnold born Rathfriland 1809.  I do not know where they married, but think Rathfriland might be a start.

Parents of Jane Browne, who married Samuel Beggs Brown, born Belfast 1840 son of Isabella Beggs and John Brown, who married in 1839,  but I do not know where.

I don't have much information about Beggs or Brown, except that The parents of Isabella Beggs were Samuel Beggs and Sarah Mitchell and the parents of John Brown were John Brown (Killyleagh) and ? Wilson

Thank you for pointing me towards the Presbyterian church records at PRONI.

Thank you very much!  I could not read the place / church name, but that is probably my eyesight more than anything.  Were both fathers, as well as Samuel, clerks?

Yep, all three were clerks.

Can't make out the name of the presbyterian church. Can anyone make it out?
Marriage solemnized at ............ in the parish of Belfast in the Co Antrim.
