Dear drslcs
Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!
As you can see from the link below, Drumcree is a Civil Parish in Co. Armagh:
http://www.irishtimes.com/ancestor/fuses/townlands/index.cfm?fuseaction=TownlandsInCivil&civilparishid=371&civilparish=Drumcree&citycounty=Armagh
Records for the corresponding Roman Catholic Parish of Drumcree (Portadown) begin in 1844. There are some missing dates, notably between 1863 and 1864 for marriages and deaths. There are some places where you can search online, however these websites do not have complete collections and many do not cover the period after 1900:
www.familysearch.org has a huge database of genealogical records including some church records for Ireland.
www.rootsireland.ie have a large collection of Irish Church records, however you have to pay to use this site.
The above sites can also be used to check civil registration which began in 1864 (generally speaking). As many people did not know their correct date of birth, Rose Anne may be included in those records. This will give you further information about her parents and townland of residence.
The Ulster Historical Foundation: http://www.ancestryireland.com/ would also be a useful port of call for you.
Other important sources include the Tithe Applotment Books and Griffith?s Valuation. Even though these sources only record the head of the household, the information is very important and can be valuable:
Tithe Applotment Books (1823-1837): http://titheapplotmentbooks.nationalarchives.ie/search/tab/index.jsp
Griffith?s Valuation (1847-1864): http://www.askaboutireland.ie/griffith-valuation/
The National Archives of Ireland: http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/search/ you can search the 1901/1911 Census on the National Archives page too, for instances of the family name at that time
Remember to post any new information that you find here. The more information you post, the more likely it is that one of our volunteers will be able to advise or assist you. Also include information concerning which sources you may have already used so others may further your search.
Best of luck with your search
