Help with Moores of Drumquin.

[1pompey]

Hi,

I am trying to find information about the family of Joseph Moore from Drumquin, born August 1870. The only information I have so far is from the IGI and according to that, his parents were Thomas Moore and Anne Thornton.
I know the names of Josephs brothers and sisters and know that he moved to Paisley in Scotland and married Isa Hamilton in 1916.
I believe that most of the records from Northern Ireland were destroyed and was wondering if anyone has an idea of my next move. Is there anywhere to get a birth certificate. I believe he was a member of the presbyterian church in Drumquin.

Thanks for looking!

Michael.

Hi there,

the General Registry Office of Northern Ireland holds birth registration from 1864 onwards.

It is possible to order the certificates online at a cost of 7 pounds sterling. If you have a problem filling out some of the required information just send them an email. I have done this on a few occasions when I didn't know when, or exactly where, a birth or marriage took place. Each time a search was carried out and the certificate provided - the earliest I obtained was for 1886.

Here is a link to their site -
