Hello, i've recently discovered that my family were church of ireland and i have gotten back to 1730 and no further.. Just there now i was looking at rootsireland.ie and discovered several people with my name in the baptisms and indeed burials of a church of ireland church in derry and i beleive it was the only protestant church back then... i have an idea of the spelling back then i know it is not cummins but it was around kymin or kimmin. I know my family were super religious back then by the sounds of things.. so i'm just wondering would they have travelled the whole way to derry to get baptised etc?

Here is some people in the baptims:

Could somebody look into this or try and work out where them ones where from will it say on the record? Is there any other site where you can get these records free?

I don't know of any free sites for NI records. It seems unlikely they're related.

Why don't you check and see if they're in the Coleraine FHC? I know there are some records on microfilm relating to CoI church records in the Derry FHC, but I don't know what exactly as all my ancestors are from Donegal.

Aw I already know that it's just that I wanted to try online first because it tales hours to do that and wits not good when you get no result! I usually have to plan when I'm going there

Just after realising you were talking about IFHF (rootsireland). If you go into the advanced search, you can filter by Parish.

Yes Ano it's St columbs cathedrale I'm trying to work out If my ancestors wouldve travelled the 35 miles to Derry to get their kids baptized considering that was the only Protestant church then!

Would it have been the only church ?

Lots of large estates had their own churches that locals may have attended.That certainly was true in Waterford. So was there a church as part of the local estate.

I was at a graveyard recently and was told that for 20 years the vicar used to go out every Sunday for a service for an elderly estate owner. The church closed after he died etc.

Yes it wouldve been since Presbyterians weren't aloud churches then.. Also the nearest church of Ireland only opened In 1720... Im nearly sure that's the only one
