family research Walker

[huey1]

Hi

Trying to zero in on a birth or baptism record for Franklin Manderson Walker abt 1845-50 through church records at PRONI but not sure which one to try.His father James Long Walker and Deborah Manderson were married in the Crumlin Non Subs.Presb Church,James is buried along with his father Samuel and several other family members at Drumbo C of I and Deborah is buried Gartree Church yard which is also i think C of I. Looks like PRONi has micrfilm for each of these churches, Would anyone have a suggestion.Thanks

Tradition was to marry in the bride’s church so Crumlin NSP may well be the Manderson family church. It might also be the groom’s depending on where he lived.

It was common for Presbyterians and other denominations to be buried in Church of Ireland graveyards. (This goes back to times when COI had a monopoly on the graveyards, and though later other churches did have their own graveyards, if a family plot was established in the COI yard, people often carried on using it).

So I would start with Crumlin NSP records.
