That would make sense ErikaH because a lot of our Ancestors were Ulster Scots.

Same image as the one I have on Family Search.

I have found an entry of marriage for Charles and Maria in 1842 on FMP, Public record of Ireland, Marriage Licence Bonds, Diocese of Down, Connor and Dromore. It just gives their names and the year, 1842.

My Cousin and I are trying to find out who Charles Parents are, Charles is a very distant cousin of ours.

We were hoping to find out a little bit more about the marriage, IE the date, and also hoping that any other records we could find may also show his Fathers name, but this is all we have been able to find.

Any help or advise as to how to gain further information would be really appreciated
