Roman Catholic Parish Records On Microfilm, Co. Derry (Londonderry)

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 involved in the event giving no indication 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 discover 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.

Aghanloo – civil parish, spread between the RC parishes of Limavady (along with Drumachose & Tamlaght Crilly) plus Magilligan. See Magilligan and Drumachose records.
Aghadowey Roman Catholic – part of the R.C. parish of Coleraine.
