Im searching for some information on my great great granny and her parents and grandparents. Her name is Ellen Buchanan and i believe she was born in 1864, to parents Thomas and Sarah but i have very limited information on them and any information on either or their parents would also be great!.
Nicole,
This is a likely marriage in 1862 that fits your information:
I see children numerous born to that couple eg Mary in 1867, but not an Ellen. (There was no Ellen Buchanan birth anywhere in Ireland in 1864). However if she was born before 1.1.1864 there will be no birth certificate as they only started then. Pre 1864 you would normally have to search church records for a baptism but this family were Brethren so there are no records to search. (There are no Brethren records in the public domain). The family lived in Outal in Grange of Dundermot (halfway between Ballymena & Ballymoney).
