William Duncan - Ardstraw
« on: Thursday 21 August 08 12:31 BST (UK) »
Hello everyone  Smiley
I'm looking for some help from you clever people.

I'm hoping to find the birth details and any siblings for William Duncan

The information I have is that he was born in Ardstraw,Tyrone in
c 1855 ( from his marriage certificate)
c 1849 ( from his death certificate)
Father - John Duncan - a farmer  Mother- Elizabeth Barclay

He married in Australia in 1885 in Balmattum Presbyterian Church and his death certificate states he
had been in Australia for 50 years, which makes the arrival date c1880
( but we know how reliable this can be don't we?   Grin)

I'd appreciate any help or for someone to point me in the right direction
as to where I might find this information.

Regards

Raylen

Civil registration of births in Ireland began 1864 (also deaths and Catholic marriages from that date). Registration of other marriages from 1845.
First complete census of Ireland is 1901.
For earlier records you need to search for church records (if they exist). To do so you need to know the family's religion and where they lived.
Meantime suggest you read through some of the topics and sources posted here to get an idea of what's available and how to search for Irish records:

Hi aghadowey,

Thanks for your reply.  I have been looking through the resources boards
hoping for some clue to help me.
I'm thinking now I might have to start the long-winded job of
trying to find his arrival in the Australian shipping records  Undecided

Thanks again for your advice.
