Newcastle County Down parish Registers - Douglas
« on: Sunday 13 February 05 13:05 GMT (UK) »
My G grandmother Rebecca Douglas born abt 1851 father Henry Douglas in Newcastle County Down. Henry Douglas listed as Farmer on Rebecca's wedding cert.   Looking for information on other members of the family and her exact birth date. Only other information from aged relative is the word "McKilro" not sure if a place or name.

Hi Paul,

There must be a sound reason for this query hiding in Co. Clare when the subject matter states Co. Down.

http://www.raymondscountydownwebsite.com/html/newcastle.htm -
Henry Douglas is mentioned two or three times in this URL. He leased land from the Earl of Annesley.
Where did Rebecca marry and of what religious persuasion were the Douglas family ? It looks as if this may be Rebecca's father so there is a possibility the family may be traced in the records of the church that they attended. That word "McKilro" may actually be Kilkoo which was the name of the parish in which the Douglas family lived.

Best Wishes,

Christopher
