Hosford
« on: Saturday 10 June 23 22:51 BST (UK) »
I need help to find the birth record for JANE VIRGINIA HOSFORD (abt. 1817) in Belfast and John Hosford (abt. 1820) in Ireland.  They are the children of RICHARD & EUPHEMIA (WRIGHT) HOSFORD OR HORSFORD.

They immigrated to Canada in 1821, Jane's death certificate lists her place of birth as Belfast.

All records in Canada lists their religion as Church of England.

You can see which Belfast church of Ireland records survive for that period.

There are only two parishes going back that early - St Anne, Shankill (now Belfast Cathedral) from 1745, and St George with baptisms from 1819.
