i appreciate any help to get me abit closer to this 1.

[yummy-mummy-amy]

i think the 2nd or 3rd letter is a definate "i" as there is a dot.

[Jessbowbag]

I think its a twirly' K ' followed by I

They are all the parishes in County Down, according to Google

[yummy-mummy-amy]

i have tried to zoom in the name -

[yummy-mummy-amy]

I think its a twirly' K ' followed by I

They are all the parishes in County Down, according to Google

if thats right it probably is kilmore, as thats a big parish area in down.

i think you maybe right that its a "K" and as i thought Kilmore. the reason for this is the person that did the marriage was a "moses black" i have typed this into google with kilmore and he was a minister at the "Kilmore Presbyterian Church" in 1836.

i have sent the new minister a message. hopefully he will get back to me.

[yummy-mummy-amy]

thanks again for help. hopefully i will get an answer.

I agree it looks like Kilmore. Ros Davies has some info about Kilmore parish on her site: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb....KilmoreAll.htm

Kilmore parish borders Saintfield parish. See map of civil parishes here: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb....wnParishes.htm

[yummy-mummy-amy]

just like to say thank you for help. it is the correct church, the minister rang me to confirm this and he checked the info i gave him with the record book for marriage and it is there.

the minister who did the marriage - moses black, was at the church from 1836 through to 1876. and this was what helped him link them.
