Looking for my great-grandmother Margaret Mckinley (Kinley) born about 1840-1850 in Banbridge. Went to Kaiapoi, New Zealand about 1864-65.Married in 1869 (Henry Robarts from USA) and they went to NSW, Australia in 1874.She died there in 1917.
Eleanore:
What was Margaret's religious denomination. None of the Banbridge church baptismal records are online at this time. However, if she was RC, the RC records will be available starting July 8th. The National Library of Ireland is placing all RC parish registers online for free searching. The records start around 1833. Tullyish/Banbridge is in the Diocese of Dromore.
