Baptism Records, Aghagallon, Co. Antrim, 1829

The Roman Catholic Parish records for the parish of Antrim are listed as those of Aghagallon & Ballinderry.  In theory they run from March 29th, 1828 straight through to Dec 22nd, 1880.


Of the 1828 records I can tell you that there seem to be some gaps.

Listed below is an index to the names of children and parents given in these parish records, also a placename when it was given, plus the date of baptism as best I could read it.

The LDS do not have a copy of these records to the best of my knowledge.  The microfilm ref for the National Library of Ireland is 5467.  The PRONI ref for the microfilm is MIC.1D/6.6

Spellings are exactly as I read them.  Wm. = William.  Jos = Joseph. Thos = Thomas.  Chas = Charles.  Ed. = Edward or Edmund.  Edmd. = Edmund. Danl = Daniel.  Michl = Michael.  Richd. = Richard.  Robt. = Robert.

Betty / Biddy = Elizabeth.  Peggy / Margt / Margret = Margaret.  Fanny = Frances.  Kitty = Catherine.  Sally = Sarah.

I have not sorted these names alphabetically but left them in the order I read them.  Where I give a month for date of baptism it means that the actual date could not be read.  Placenames are given and I give them as I read them.

Question marks indicate letters or full words that I had difficulty with.

Roman Catholic Parish Records On Microfilm, Co. Antrim

NLI = National Library of Ireland.
PRONI = Public Records Office of Northern Ireland
LDS = Latter Day Saints Library


Parish records do not all contain the same information – some list only the names of those directly involved in the event – some list the townlands or addresses of these people – some marriage records will list the names of the parents of those being married and the towland that they came from – while, then there are parish records that list only the names of the people inivolved in the event giving no indcation as to where they lived.

Where anything is known as to the state of the film – i.e. whether the script is eay to read, the ink faded, the entries clearly defined, then this information is listd on these pages – it will be added to as time goes by. Some indication is also give as to the information contained on the film, however, this can only be taken to refer to the time frame that the extracts cover as different Priests changed the format of their entries.

Please note, that while it may be very exciting to discovre that records exist for the parish you are interested in, continuously from the mid-1700’s to 1880 – do not place too much emphasis on that fact, records that are so old tend to be in bad condition, sometimes so faded as to be illegible. Unfortunately, the same, unfortunately can also be said for some records that were created in the mid-1800’s.
