Hi,
I am trying to find birth or baptismal record (Catholic) for my Great Grandmother, Catherine Gardner. It appears her birth would have been in County Antrim sometime around 1860. Her father was Michael Gardner and her mother was Bridget (we do not have Bridget's surname). She left for the US and was married in Boston to Peter Morris.
Not much to go on. However, any assistance would be very much appreciated.
Thanks,
Paul

Hi - thank you for your message. Most Catholic records are held locally - One site which might be of use is - http://www.irishtimes.com/ancestor/browse/ - where you can ?browse? an overview of available records per county. If you have any difficulty, you could try writing to the parish priest for possible assistance.
