Hello

I'm looking for usable free resources for Presbyterian births, baptisms, marriages and deaths/burials in Tyrone and NI for those who emigrated to the US or back to Scotland in the 1700-1760 period.

James J MULHOLLAND/MULHOLLEN/MULHOLON/HOLLAND or similar, born 1733 in Balleygawley, Tyrone.  He may have emigrated to America in 1750. He married Mary/Molly Bell in 1755 in Worcester, Massachusetts.

A John MULHOLLAND/MULHOLLEN/MULHOLON/HOLLAND or similar, born about 1734 in Belfast, Antrim, also emigrated about 1805 with wife Christina/Christian, sons John, born 1754,  James, born 1759 or 1769,   Daniel March 8, 1772 , all in Belfast, County Antrim, Ireland and may be related.

A number of the links for this topic are no longer working.


Any advice and or help appreciated.

Sincerely,
Ann

Frankly, the records you are looking for may just not be available anywhere- online or offline. Ireland was part of the U.K. so no records were kept of people travelling between Ireland and Scotland.

1) James J. Mulholland... birth 1733 Ballygawley, emigration 1750?, marriage 1777 Massachusetts
- Civil registration of birth started 1864 so you need to see if church records survive. See here for microfilmed church records that PRONI, Belfast holds (this will give a very good indication of what might be available)- https://www.nidirect.gov.uk/publications/proni-guide-church-records (Ballygawley Presbyterian baptisms & marriages start 1842) Most Presbyterian churches didn't, and don't, keep burial records. Also worth checking Church of Ireland for burials as many Presbyterian families would have had plots there. However, some COI burial registers didn't record Presbyterians.
- rather early also for passenger lists. Some may survive in U.S. archives. Leaving Ireland they might have gone into Boston or perhaps even via Canada.
- Massachusetts records are excellent- try Family Search to see if Worcester marriages for that period are online

2) John Mulholland …birth c1734 Belfast, emigration c1805, children born 1750s
- Belfast probably even more difficult to search as it may refer to what was then the. There are so many Presbyterian churches in Belfast city, is now the city, or indeed an area near Belfast (see PRONI Guide to Church Records linked above to get an idea of how many and what exists as far as records. Also bear in mind that marriages usually take place in the bride's church so they could have gotten married at the church of another denomination or further from Belfast.

Not sure what links you mean since you haven't posted any.

Added- the tile of this thread is Paris Records Lookup... If you mean Parish then be aware that only Catholic and Church of Ireland use a parish system. Presbyterian churches are grouped into Presbyteries. Also, there are different branches of Presbyterianism and different Presbyteries and they didn't always attend the church nearest to where they lived.

Re broken links: Under Ireland/Tyrone

These are under County Tyrone and under Ireland--General. I didn't check any Catholic resources or those pointing to info after 1750, which is most of what is posted.

Flagged as suspicious, click I'm not a robot, and nothing happens for the next 2:
Landowners in Co Tyrone, 1876 (Northern Ireland)

County Tyrone, Northern Ireland International Genealogical Index (IGI) Batch Numbers.

All of these are broken or lead to ads only.
Yes, American sources are complete and searchable online. The tricky part is to find records of the individuals and families before they show up in New England.

Thanks for the links you've just shared.

Sincerely,

Yes, many of those links are out of date but I am no longer able to fix them or note they are no longer working.

Strange because link takes me to this page-
https://www.failteromhat.com/lo1876/tyrone_i.htm

If there is a broken link then you can search for a new one by googling title, etc.

Give a man a record and you feed him for a day.

Hi Aghdowey:

I appreciate your speedy and complete replies. You have confirmed for me that finding records for these people (and many others  in my family tree, earlier in the same NI communities) just may not be possible. It become more of a history and less of a genealogy project.

I did learn that by 1901 Mulhollands were Catholics, Methodists, as well as Presbyterians... which was interesting and surprising. So I will look harder at the RC parish records.

Thanks for your help and support.
