Dear Georgina
Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!
Presbyterian records for Ramelton (First, Second and Third) begin in 1806 so there will be no records for anyone before that time. Have you tried Ancestry for instances of the family name in their messages or family trees?
Best wishes

Dear Clare,
Thank you for responding to my inquiry.
Yes, I have been on Ancestery.com for many years and have obtained much information. However, I am visiting Ireland for the first time on Tuesday,April 14, 2015 for approximately two and a half weeks. I was hoping to visit Ramelton and discover further ancestors.Online, I have found Ramelton Heritage Exhibition & Genealogy Centre. I hope it still exsists and is open to the public.
Looking forward to learning so much more about Ireland, on my trip.
Sincerely,
Georgiana
