Looking for Church records, just in case they are not kept in the church or Dublin etc
Ros Davies website http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~rosdavies/gives surviving church records as
Church of Ireland, Killyleagh- St John the Evangelist
Records from 1813, graveyard attached, gravestone inscriptions available UHF Vol 6; email me for a look-up in old graveyard
PRONI church records gives
http://www.proni.gov.uk/guide_to_church_records.pdfC.I. Killyleagh (Down diocese)
Baptisms, 1813-1921; marriages, 1813-1903; burials,
1823-1937; vestry minutes, 1787-1908; burial account
book, 1875-1923; register of vestrymen, 1870-1962;
register of church members, c1880; preachers' books,
1877-1918.
Documents relating to the parish of Killyleagh, 1600-
1850.
MIC1/58A-B
MIC35
Cess applotment, 1827-; churchwardens’ accounts, etc., 1875-. In local custody
So it might be the record exists only as a microfilm at PRONI.
Then the next question was to find Susan Ross the mother, the nearest clue I could get was
from
http://www.ancestryireland.combirths
SUSAN MARY ROSS 1890 father CHARLES Down
marriages
ROSS SUSANNAH 1913 ALEXANDER Antrim
The irish census 1901 Susan Ross in Co Down included
Ross Susan Walmer Street Ormeau Down 45
Ross Susan Castle Place Ardglass Down 19
Ross Susan John Street Downpatrick Urban Down 11
Ross Susan Greencastle St. Kilkeel Kilkeel Down 38
Ross Susan Georges Street Newtownards Urban Down 44
The irish census 1911 Susan Ross in Co Down included
Ross Susan Walmer Street Ormeau Down 60 F
Ross Susan Grove Street East Pottinger (part of) Down 3 F
Ross Susan Shore Street Donaghadee Urban Down 34
The irish census 1911 The Killyleagh Ross include two families
11 in Church Hill (Killyleagh, Down)
6 in Cross Street (Killyleagh, Down)
with no mention of Susan
The English census 1911 doesnt appear to include either.
Finally a Molly J Ross b NI 1910 in 1940 is a married mother in Michigan 1940, no relation but reminded me I only looked for Margaret jane and never searched for molly or Susannah etc .. Anyway that’s all I can offer as an attempt to find the birth /baptism recorded, leaving the civil bit GRONI always possible
Lets hope someone can offer moe constructive help
