Thanks for the information about the Rev Jeffrey. I asked NIFHS for a lookup in Greyabbey on the marriage of Archibald Hunter and Anne McCarten on 10th August 1839 but they came back saying they could not find any record of the marriage. The fact of the marriage was recorded in the Belfast Newsletter so I'm at a loss to understand why they could not find the marriage record. I would appreciate any thoughts.
