Looking for McCurdy's

Hi Crystal,

Thank you for your message.  I hope that someone with information makes a connection with you and helps you with your research.

In the meantime, have you tried looking at church records for more information? Most Catholic records are held locally so you may need to write to the local parish priest for possible assistance. One website that you may find useful is the Irish Times where they give an overview of what records are available in specific parishes. It also shows you where copies of the records are available. For parishes in Derry, follow this link:

Most surviving Church of Ireland records are still held by the local clergy, although some are in the National Archives of Ireland and others are in the Representative Church Body Library in Dublin. Here are their websites: http://www.nationalarchives.ie/ and http://ireland.anglican.org/about/42

Lists of these surviving registers can also be found at the National Library of Ireland.

Have you tried looking in Griffith?s Valuation? This is a property valuation survey carried out 1848-64. You can search it here:
