Hello

Can anyone tell me where I can get the burial records for Ballyrashane?

Which church? (Presbyterian or Church of Ireland)

Hello
It is the Presbyterian Church. I know it is near Coleraine.

In general, Presbyterian churches didn't keep burial records and as far as I know, Ballyrashane didn't keep such records. Many Presbyterians will be buried in Church of Ireland ground but the rectors sometimes only recorded members of his congregation in the burial register.

Hello

Thankyou very much for the information,if there is a slight chance that there may be a burial record in the Church of Ireland records do you think it would be worth pursuing.  If I did would it be Coleraine I would contact or somewhere else?

Not sure how far back the burial register goes- many C. of I. records pre-1880 have been destroyed.

Ballyrashane CoI burial registers for the years 1877 to 1958 are microfilmed in Coleraine Library.  The Presbyterian records are also microfilmed back to 1863, but do not include burials.
