“Marriages for Ballycastle” (18 June 1840 - 28 December 1845) Recorded in Culfeightrin

“Marriages for Ballycastle” (18 June 1840 - 28 December 1845)

Below is list of marriages for the Catholic Parish of Ramoan (also known as Ballycastle) recorded in the Parish Register for the adjacent Parish of Culfeightrin. Why these marriages were recorded in Culfeightrin instead of Ramoan is unclear because other marriages were recorded in Ramoan from 13 October 1838 to 31 July 1883. Also, some of these marriages are outside the date ranges currently stated for Culfeightrin.

The entries from the parish register have been transcribed verbatim but the names have also standardized in editorial comments with the intent of yielding better search results. Refinements and additional information will be welcomed by Perry Streeter (perry@streeter.com). Perry is a great-great-grandson of Daniel and Sarah (Stewart) Brown of Armoy and was thrilled to discover their 8 April 1845 marriage in a list of “Ardmoy Marriages” on this same page.
