ANTRIM BOOKS, NEWSPAPERS & MAGAZINES
« Reply #1 on: Monday 17 April 06 06:01 BST (UK) »
The Coleraine Branch of the NI Family History Siociety still have copies of the book "Ballymoney Herald BDMS 1860 - 63" The Ballymoney Herald existed between 18th October 1860 and 8th January 1863. More than 300 births, 500 deaths and 300 marriages were recorded during this period. These have been copied, put in a database, and have been made into book form.

The book on these Ballymoney Herald records was launched at the Ballymoney museum on the 8th January 2003 (the 140th anniversary of the final edition). The book can now be obtained by post! Costs including postage and packing are:

UK - £6.50; Ireland & Europe - £7.50; US/Canada - £8.00; Australia / NZ - £8.00

1737 Francis Joy, a pioneer of paper manufacturing in Ballymena, founded the Belfast Newsletter. The business was later moved to Randalstown, before settling in Belfast. www.bbc.co.uk/northernireland/yourplaceandmine/belfast/newsletter.shtml

Almost one hundred and forty years later Belfast brothers William and George Baird published the Belfast Evening Telegraph on 1st September 1870.
