Sherry's In Co Down

[celtclogs]

Hi 

Would some one help me out please, is there a Drumbec in Co Down, I have it on a Wedding Cert
for William Sherry living in Hamilton Scotland He was born in Co Down and it said the place was
Drumbec, I tried to find it my self, but no joy  Thank you

Initial reaction is Drumbeg civil parish, but I imagine most watching this would like to know more, like an approximate date. 

Drumbeg civil parish contained a number of townlands in counties Antim and Down, including the County Down townlands of Ballyaghlis, Ballygowan, Drumbeg, and Hillhall. Drumbeg is also recognised as a small village in the locale.

Is there any more detail you can add to help?

Hi Gaffy 
Thanks for your Help, William Sherry was born in 1837 "Drumbec"??Co Down and the whole family left about 1847 to go to Scotland.I hope that helps,but I think you could be right about Drumbeg. 
 cheers

I found
*a few entries under Sherry in Ros Davies Co Down website but none connected with Drumbeg,
*variant spelling for Sherry from LibraryIreland names eg
m'sharrie 1490336 1
M'Sharrie
macsharri 1490346 1
MacSharry
macsherri 1490356 1
MacSherry
sharri 1490366 1
Sharry
sherri 1490384 1

other Sherry spellings existed eg O’Sherry.

There are other records eg in PRONI, NIFHS, on ancestryireland births but none with obvious connection to Drumbeg

I think I am correct in saying at least three times more William McSherry records exist, compared to William Sherry records. 

Your Williams denomination will be important if the church record exists for your William
