Magilligan Presbyterian Church Records.1814-1880

[Summerhill]

I wonder if there are any kind Rootschat readers who are going to PRONI in the near future. I am looking for records of my ancestors The Cummings Family of Ballycarton, Limavady in the Magilligan Presbyterian Parish Registers. I have been in touch with PRONI for their records search service for people who dont live near Belfast & I received an email today from them their search fee is £15 per 15 minutes thus £60 per hour. Plus photocopying & verfication fees. Unfortunately my husband & I are OAP's & that sort of fee is too expensive.

If any one is going to PRONI & could have a quick look I would be very grateful ,I would pay for any photocopying & verfication fees & for postage. I live in CO.Wexford so have not a hope of ever getting there.

Hi There,
as far as I know Coleraine Library keep a copy of Magilligan Presbyterian Parish records as do PRONI in Belfast. It might be worthwhile trying these places.

Hope this helps.

Coleraine Library has a copy of the microfilmed church records that PRONI has- box #89 in Coleraine and microfilm reader best booked in advance. Earliest baptisms & marriages start 1747 but there are gaps in the records.

Coleraine Library/PRONI also have microfilmed records from the Presbyterian church-
members lists 1814/15 and 1836, along with church census 1855.
