Newtownards seems to be close to Granshaw. I don't know the geography and google maps is little help with this, but there is a Granshaw Presbyterian church about 3 miles SSW of Newtownards, looks like in or just outside Comber.

"I have looked at vaious maps , ordanance maps , current etc. and I am unable to find Ballymaglaff - County Down , Parish of Comber. Does anyone know where I can get a map that has this place OR has it been renamed?"
"Ballymaglaff - County Down , Parish of Comber, is a townland. ... County Down has 70 parishes, there may be as many as 20 townland in
each parish."


I wonder about this marriage:

http://pilot.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html

Name: Sarah Carnduff
Registration District: Newtownards
Event Type: MARRIAGES
Registration Quarter and Year:
Estimated Birth Year:
Age (at Death):
Mother's Maiden Name:
Film Number: 101260
Volume Number: 1
Page Number: 1047
Digital Folder Number: 4199362
Image Number: 00267

I have no idea why it wouldn't give a date in that record.


Robert, would you turn off the capitals key? (both in your message and in your subject line)

If you read the instructions before you posted, you saw the suggestion that you put a name, date and place in your subject line. Good suggestion. (The "Clarke" on the surname line isn't visible to anyone, as you see, and we are all reading the complete board, not the Clarke "surname board".)
