The RC parish records for Lower Killevy start in 1835 and for Upper Killevy in 1835. There were no records kept before those dates. (That’s quite common. Though there are RC parishes in some parts of Ireland that go back to the late 1600s, many parishes in Ulster didn’t start keep records till the 1820s and 1830s. Sometimes later.). Sadly the RC parishes don't generally keep burial records either.
