Civil registration only started in 1864, so James & Margaret will not be included. To search for earlier records you will need to research church records (if they exist), and to do this you need to know the family religion and a more detailed location for them - i.e.parish, town or townland.

Yes there's some good stuff there to start with, Campbell is quite a common name but Ashcroft might be better to start with for searches. Every tiny detail can really help so go through everything with a fine toothcomb! It ain't easy....

Sorry to have to tell you Cambo ... but Christopher died (I think last year) ... but I'm sure someone else will be able to help ! 





(Edited ... I put this comment yesterday because I think Cambo was directing the question to Christopher ...   )

two details you need to know before researching parish records

 1. the family religion
 2. a detailed location for them - i.e. parish, town or townland

Once you establish these you can than check to see if records exist for the parish in question.
