Unfortunately I have no idea but if you find out I'd love to know!!  However, I am going to the records office in Dublin at the end of this month so if there's anything I  can look up for you then feel free to ask.

Hello Folks,

I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news. There were no records of people moving from Ireland to England. Records were not required for people moving from one part of the United Kingdom to another part. On January 1st, 1801, The Kingdom of Great Britain merged with the Kingdom of Ireland to form the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. In 1922 twenty six Irish counties left the United Kingdom to form the Irish Free State.

Hi jmg,

http://www.proni.gov.uk/records/church.htm If I am reading this correctly PRONI should have birth records for your great grandmother. Was she born in Londonderry City or in the County of Londonderry ? That may be a silly question as it strikes me that the birth should be registered as Londonderry be it city or county. Have you been along this line or should I make some enquiries on your behalf ?

Hi Jan,

You had me confused for a minute. I thought we were still discussing Ireland to England.

You're asking about Church Records. PRONI have records for the nine counties of Ulster i.e they have records for three of the counties in the south of Ireland - Monaghan, Donegal and Louth and they have records for the other six in the north of Ireland i.e. Antrim, Armagh, Down, Fermanagh, Londonderry and Tyrone.

Other records for the south of Ireland are available in Dublin.
