Thanks, but I now think she's not one of ours.

My partner visited her grandfather's farm Drumcannon, Cortubber, Castleblayney, in 1980.  There was a church and graveyard, as well as a schoolhouse just near the property.  Her father had earlier taken some photos of some family headstones in the graveyard.  However, she can't remember the name of the church, and I can't find it on Googlemaps.  Any suggestions?

Found, it is Corlea Presbyterian Cemetery.

It's actually the burying-ground attached to Corlea Presbyterian Church.

Just got back onto this..so is there anywhere that would be likely to have Presbyterian marriages in the Aghnamullen parish/Derrygooney Townland area for the period 1800-1825 online?

I've had a look through the "Monaghan Resources" section on this board but most of the more promising links no longer work.

There have been replies on your newest topic asking about available Monaghan records. If you don't find the records you want listed in PRONI's Presbyterian records then they are either only in local custody or simply do not exist.

The first minister of Corlea was Mr. Matthew Adams, who was ordained here by the Presbytery of Monaghan on the 11th of May, 1824.

The congregation obtained Regium Donum in 1827.

The congregation was, in 1835, entered on the minutes of the Synod as Corlea, instead of Ballytrain.

Thanks.  From looking at the PRONI records it appears some relevant records might exist, but that they can only be accessed in person at PRONI.

Thanks Hallmark.  What did the local Presbyterians do by way of marriages, baptisms etc prior to that time?
