Catholic records of Donaghmore
« on: Monday 22 April 24 17:55 BST (UK) »
I am searching an O'Neill family from the townland of Drumbearn in Donaghmore

The records for Donaghmore RC church start 1837 for baptisms and marriages -

But I notice that Tullyallen RC records start much earlier - and Tullyallen is very close to Donaghmore -

Tullyallen RC
Baptisms 1816-1833
Marriages 1816-1844
Burials 1816-1844

Would someone residing in Donaghmore use Tullyallen Catholic church in the earlier period?

The townland of Drumbearn is very close to the RC church in Donaghmore and there has been a church on the site since 1807 so it's unlikely they would have made the longer journey to another church.
History of the parish.
