Thanks for all the responses.
I have contacted the Presbyterian Historical Society of Ireland via their message form. Once I receive a response I will post to advise of what is in existence, if anything, for use of others.
My paternal ancestors moved to Belfast in the late 1860s, early 1870s from the west (Antrim town direction). They settled in Old Park and this was the closest Presbyterian Church I could identify to that area. They later moved to Sailortown but there are no baptisms of their children in Sinclairs Seamens or York Street which makes me think that they have continued attending the church from that area. It's complicated by the 1901 census when they are then all Methodists. However, the school records for the children (in 1890s) indicate they are Presbyterians - this is all theoretical as to whether they attended there but there's evidence to support this.
Interesting that you mention marriage records not being registered. As there is a marriage record I cannot find in civil registration and all other records between the two parties indicate that they were married - recorded as married/widower on death records and burial records.
This record would have been from the 1880s so perhaps it's not what was meant by the comments made in the PRONI document.
