Thanks Gaffy
after the wording on the entry for the Baptisms, William B Black, there is a word in brackets, it looks like Acatholicus. would you know what that means and on the same line there is a ladys name, Margaret McMahon. Would you have any idea why her name is there, witness etc?

Thanks so much , its an interesting angle!

Thanks so much to aghadowey and Kiltaglassan for the quick replies and links.
This is indeed the Patrick I was looking for. I was trying to get his exact DOB in order to get his birth certificate in order to hopefully get some details on one or both of his parents and therefore another branch to the tree…. At least I have his dads name now.
If this helps with other searches, I know that William was of the Protestant faith , possibly church of Ireland as he is remembered in Ramoan Church of Ireland Ballycastle as someone from the Parish who died in WW1 – I have tried there but they have no records of him, he is also remembered on Ballycastle’s War Memorial.

Antrim / Patrick McLaughlin Ballycastle
« on: Wednesday 25 November 20 14:38 GMT (UK)  »
Hello can anyone point me in the right direction.
I am trying to obtain the exact date of birth for Patrick McLaughlin in order that I can apply for a birth certificate.
Limited Army records shows that Patrick was born in 1880 in Ballycastle County Antrim, other records suggest that it could be plus or minus by about one year.
I know that he died in France on 27-10-1914, ( Service number 5736, 2nd BTN RIR).  I have no details for his parents.
Any advice please would be greatly appreciated. thanks

Hello  kingskerswell,

thank you so much for taking the time to research that for me, very much appreciated.
I really need a member of that branch of the McLaughlin's, to rule in (or out) a sibling. Although I admit the link to this tree is a bit tenuous.
regards

Donegal / Re: Where in Ireland is "Boctown" (Bogtown) ?

Hello Annie.
County Donegal borders the countys of Tyrone and Fermanagh.
I would say that Bundoran would not be that close to Strabane (approx fifty miles, thats a very rough guess). I think Lifford in Donegal county is the closest Donegal town to Strabane
Bundoran is very popular with people from Strabane and the surronds for a holiday.

hope that helps

Hello
I think there is also an area of Bundoran, Co Donegal referred to as Bogtown.
