Are there any baptism records available for..... Donaghadee Presbyterian Church....Co. Down for searching circa 1838 - 1841?  If so would illegitimate births be recorded?

Presbyterian ministers did baptise and record the baptisms of illegitimate children. Sometimes the father, or reputed father, is listed in such records depending on the clergyman.

Records for 1st Donaghadee Presbyterian Church are listed here along with location of records (PRONI, Belfast)-
