John BELSHAW . Newtownards of Bowtown; husband of Mary Harper ; father of James b. & bpt. 27 Mar 1834 at 1st Newtownards Presbyterian Church PR
before I move on I am registering Ballyharry is the next townland to Newtownards Corporation north townland, on the road to Donaghadee It sits above Movilla townland so burial in Movilla highly likely on the south side of Movilla is Bowtown so near enough to have Belshaw connections
to understand the missing information normally available from tithes I check these townlands in griffiths valuation to find who is the landlord or BALLYHARRY Marquis of Londonderry so there might be something in the mass of their paper archives, other small landlords inc Wm , Patton , William Crawford. BOOTOWN has Marquis of Londonderry . Robert Jamison , knowing the townlands allow searching in PRONI ecatalogue among many other databases did the Belshaw move away emigrate etc see
http://www.dippam.ac.uk/ied/Linenhall library , Belfast have a small collection of a Belshaws books but I don’t think connected, That library also has Blackwood manuscript trees but there are none for Belshaw.

Newtownards FH online records have had a tragedy in the most recent years with the sudden death of the website entrepreneur, Derek Beattie of rustybike fame. his entire website was pulled down. I don’t use facebook but that’s the site of his friends contributions to Newtownards FH online do contact them for advice some records might survive.
