Irwin - Feirs

Hi Julie, thanks for your mesage and interest in Ireland Reaching Out.

Unfortunatley,  the reality of finding documentation pertaining to births/baptisms/marriages/deaths in Ireland prior to 1800 ? particularly in rural areas ? is that they simply may not exist. 

The best course of action may be to contact the Ulster Historical Foundation. Their contact details are as follows:

49 Malone Road,

Belfast,

BT9 6RY,

Northern Ireland

phone: +44 289066 1988       Email: enquiry@uhf.org.uk

The following websites may be of help or at least of interest to you also:

The National Archives of Ireland http://www.nationalarchives.ie/genealogy1/genealogy-records/introduction/

The National Library of Ireland http://www.nli.ie/en/family-history-introduction.aspx

The National Archives UK ? genealogy search: http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/records/looking-for-person/

and

The Public Records Office of Northern Ireland http://www.proni.gov.uk/index/family_history.htm

Hope this helps,

Kind regards,

Hello.  I too am interested in finding the parents and grandparents of William B Irwin born 1725 or 1728 in Carrickfergus who married Isabella Feirs. 

I was hoping to find out if you were able to find this out and any other information that you have from this family genealogy.  Is William B Irwin a relative of Robert Irvine born 1620 married to Margaret Wylie in 1691 in Ulster.

I am a relative of William B Irvwin.  Are you as well?

Thank you much,

Roberta Blowers
