It would be easier to tell you what records might be available if you explain what you are looking for- dates, religion, even surname- and especially Drumlough townland.

There are 2 townlands called Drumlough in county Down-
https://www.townlands.ie/down/iveagh-upper-upper-half/drumgath/drumlough/ (west of Rathfriland)
https://www.townlands.ie/down/dromore/drumlough/ (east of Dromore)

If you are looking for details of either of those townlands you can look at Griffith's Valuation/maps, Valuation Revision Books, etc.

If you could elaborate on your query then we will be able to help.

Hi Yes sorry got a bit ahead of myself there. Have got the marriage cert where William resides Drumlough and she Kilkinamurry He a weaver but maybe he wasnt born in this Parish as on his childrens birth cert he said he was born Belfast or just Ireland Unfortunately dont know his mothers name. On his death cert 1918 nz said she was Margaret nee Bigham but that was his wifes mothers name so something has been recorded wrongly.Also a witness at the marriage was an Issac Bigham whose mother was also Margaret Bigham /bingham.Very frustrating researching Irish records but I am always very appricative of everyones help regards lnr
