Turnakibeck

Ballyrashane is a parish, near the town of Coleraine. The townland is probably Turnakibbock which is a few miles south east of Coleraine. The modern Damhead and Pullans Rds meet in the middle of it. That?s just off the main road to Ballymoney.

Here?s the 2 households in it in 1901:

The marriage between William Dougherty and Eliza Hiskison (as per the indexes on Ancestry) was registered in Coleraine 1860 Volume 4, page 79.

You can order a photocopy from GRO Roscommon for ?4 per certificate. Put the place, year, volume & page number on the application form (anywhere). Don?t worry about leaving some boxes blank. You don?t need to fill them all in if you have the reference details. http://www.groireland.ie/ You have to post or fax the form to them but they will e-mail the copy certificate to you if you wish. Tick the relevant box on the form.

Tradition was to marry in the bride?s church (assuming the couple attended different churches) so that may be the place to look for the bride?s baptism and that of any siblings. Unless it was a registry office marriage, the specific church and denomination will be on the certificate.
