2nd Presbyterian, Shankhill

[dollard]

My ancestors were married in 1847 in the 2nd Presbyterian Church, Shankhill Parish, Belfast. Can anyone tell me if this church is still there?
I'm new. Hope this is the right place to post this.

Hi. do you know the name of the Church and the name of the road & the names of your Ancestors.
I have a 1852 Belfast Street Directory if you give me their names i will see if i can find them.

The Shankill Parish was a large area in 1847.

Thanks Anthony,
The only name of the church I know was 2nd Presbyterian. I don't know what street it was on. The names were Robert Burns & Eliza McCormick and children.
