Parish of Comber


The parish of Comber is located in the Diocese of Down, and is bounded on the west by Knockbreda and Saintfield, and northeast by the parishes of Dundonald and Newtownards, and on the southeast by Kilmood and south by Killinchy. The earliest registers relating to the parish are found in Comber Church of Ireland, which has baptisms, marriages and burials dating from 1683 onwards. The earliest Presbyterian records only date from 1838 onwards and are belong to the Non-Subscribing Presbyterian Congregation in Comber. I have not examined this register or any of the registers for First and Second Presbyterian Churches.
