The Parish of Donegore


The parish of Donegore is bounded on the north by the parish of Conner, on the east by the parish of Kilbride, on the south by the Grange of Nilteen, and on the west by the parish of Antrim. The earliest records belonging to Donegore Church of Ireland were destroyed in 1922 in a fire in Dublin. There are two Presbyterian churches in the parish. The First Congregation has records dating from 1806, and the Second Congregation [established in 1790] from 1848. At the opening of Kilbride Presbyterian Church in 1848, some of the Millikins became members of this Congregation. I have examined the both the First and Second Presbyterian Churches and record my findings below.
