Thank you Geoff - I have a copy of the relevant pages of Hill's Arrangements and a copy of his death certificate. Unfortunately though, I cannot discover his place of interment.                                         

William Binning, 1788-1857, was moved to Ashford in late 1856/early 1857 from Sheerness, where he'd ministered to Wesleyans for 2 years from 1855 to 1856. He died on 7 Dec., 1857 at 4 Barrowhill Place, Ashford, Kent, which at the time of the 1851 census was also occupied by a Wesleyan Minister. At the time of the 1861 census, the same cottage/house was occupied by another Wesleyan Minister, James Fisher and his family.

I am searching for William Binning's burial place, but given he died in Dec. 1857 and the oldest Ashford public cemetery (other than Anglican and RC churchyards) currently open is Canterbury Road which was opened in 1859, I am at a loss as to how I may find his grave.
 
I would be grateful for any advice/suggestions as to how I may achieve my objective.

Are there any Belfast based Rootschat members who are well acquainted with researching microfilmed early records of Church of Ireland baptisms, marriages and burials at PRONI? If so, I would be glad to hear from an experienced genealogist(s) who could be interested in a commission to carry out research there on my behalf.

'THE LIST of CHURCH OF IRELAND PARISH REGISTERS' accessed via the url https://www.ireland.anglican.org/cmsfiles/pdf/AboutUs/library/registers/ParishRegisters/PARISHREGISTERS.pdf suggests that the Magherafelt Parish Registers for the period 1718-1845 are held currently by the parish.

Can anyone contributing to this forum confirm the above and tell me who the person is that one should contact to gain access to the register.

Thanks in anticipation!
