Subject: [D-G LIST] HOLYWOOD PARISH RECORDS
Date: Wed, 02 Jul 2003 10:19:56 +1000


Thought I would post this to the list in case others can't locate
records for the above parish.

I visited my local LDS and went through the above film yesterday.
I knew there were no marriages for the period 1805-1821 but
looking through the births, when I came to 1805 there was a
note written by the new minister in 1821 stating that the minister
before him had not kept any records of baptisms during his 16 years
in the parish so the new minister went visiting around his parish
and collected info from heads of families and family bibles and put
together a list of baptisms performed during that 16 years. Of
course it was not complete, and of course did not include the
baptism of my James LAWSON somewhere around 1816. I guess
my family had moved out of the Parish of Holywood before 1821
and thus there is no record for James' baptism. If he were baptised
that is.

Guess too this is the reason why I am unable to find a marriage for
James' parents. Their marriage would have taken place about 1812.


Regards, Irene
