Armed Forces / aging uniform
« on: Monday 21 June 21 02:26 BST (UK) »
Hi All,
As usual I have a request. I have attached a photo of what I believe might be my G.Grandfather, Thomas/ James ? Campbell. Born Magherfelt, Londonderry circa 1842. Parents James Campbell & Mary Hinphey.
I believe he joined the Royal Artillary circa 1856, and I am hoping someone could confirm the uniform he is wearing would be appropriate for this date.
My next mission will be to locate someone with access to fold 3 who could possibly do a look up for me.
In grateful thanks

Derry (Londonderry) / Re: St Eugenes church

Thank you DorieM for your reply, As I could not locate this person in the city cemetery, my thoughts were that she had possibly been buried at another cemetery in the city.
As previously stated a lot of her grandchildren had been baptised at St.Eugenes church, so therefore it was a possibility she had been buried there.
Once again thank you for your very helpful reply and interest in this.

Derry (Londonderry) / Re: St Eugenes church
« on: Wednesday 27 January 21 12:36 GMT (UK) »
Thank you Agadowy for your reply, my first choice initially was to search the City Cemetery, however there was no results, ergo, because of family baptisms being primarily at st. Eugenes, my next thought was that the burial would maybe have taken place at this church. From what you say, that there is no room surrounding the church for burial, my next thought would be a cemetery in reasonable distance to the church.
As I do not live in the Londonderry area, I was hoping that someone with knowledge of the church would be able to advise as to the nearest cemetery. As Im sure you already know, there are several cemeteries in Londonderry, the city cemetery not being the only one.

Derry (Londonderry) / St Eugenes church
« on: Monday 25 January 21 22:17 GMT (UK) »
Hi All, looking once again for your help. Can anyone tell me that circa 1880/1890 did St Eugenes church in Londonderry have burial facilities. in other words could people be buried at the church.
If not then where would be the nearest catholic cemetery to St. Eugenes church, and would any relevant information be online,
many thanks.

Hi Gaffy,
what can I say, incredible information, thank you so much, but my next question might be a lot harder to answer. Given these churches, where would any possible records be lodged for them. are we talking the Archdiocese of Armagh, or could it be Tyrone. or maybe somewhere else.
I can appreciate these said records might not still be in existence, but in the vain hope some might remain, any suggestions as to where I should start looking.
I can appreciate the fact that I should be asking an easy question like ' what the secret of life is ' lol
In grateful thanks.

Derry (Londonderry) / St Trea's church.
« on: Monday 24 August 20 23:13 BST (UK) »
Hi All, Once again seeking guidance.
In the townland of Ballymaguigan, and the barony of Loughinsholin in the parish of Artrea, there was a church named St. Treas. This Roman Catholic church was dedicated in 1831, what I want to know is what church if any stood on this site prior to 1831, or where would the main church have been in this area prior to this date. To explain, I am researching a catholic family living in Ballymaguigan in 1831 with an established family, The obvious method would be through baptismal records, but as my search takes me further back in time before the dedication of St. treas
where should my search be focused.
Hope this makes sense, Once again thanks for your help.

Derry (Londonderry) / parish marriage record
« on: Monday 24 August 20 21:19 BST (UK) »
Hi all,
Can anyone tell me if it is possible to get a copy of a catholic parish marriage certificate, and if so would it possibly contain more information that the general search engines, i.e, Ancestry, my Heritage, find my past.,If it is possible, who would one apply to for this. Once again thanks for your help.
