The first minister at Albany was MR. JOHN CARY who was ordained here in 1839. Surviving records of the congregation are: Baptisms, 1841-1925; committee minutes, 1842-1943; session minutes, 1841-1917 and 1960; list of contributions to the stipend of the church, 1860-61, and payments, 1861-61, and have been microfilmed by the staff of PRONI, Belfast, where they may be consulted. PRONI Refs: MIC1P/13; T/1736/2 The condition of the original records, a degree of difficulty in discerning the handwriting and at times, poor quality of filming make transcription challenging and wherever possible, the Ballyclog tithe applotment book (1826) and Griffiths Valuation (c1860), Index to Townlands and Towns,Parishes and Baronies in Ireland (1851) and Heather, Peat and Stone-O’Kane have been consulted for confirmation of families and townland addresses. Original spelling has been retained. |
