Thanks gibbo.

I'm not sure.

No im not sure neither but it was the closest i could find, tho no good if its not right. Maybe someone else can have a look and see if they find something more suitable.

 

[DaveHam9]

All three places need not be close together.

No problem with Kilmore.

Drumcree and Kilclooney were the only two I could see which seemed to fit.

Thanks Emeltee.

The parishes look like Kilclooney, Drumcree & Kilmore to me. This looks be Alexander Albin’s brother Hugh, marrying in 1856, if it’s of interest:

And sister Mary in 1853:

(Note that Alexander Albin was a witness).

Tradition was to marry in the bride’s church which I think in this case was St Mark’s in Portadown. It opened around 1826 and before that I would expect the congregation used Drumcree, which has records from 1788. I don’t think either of those records are on-line so you would need to get someone to look them up in PRONI if you are interested in them.

Thanks a lot Elywn.

In Australia the name became Albion.
