The Parish of Islandmagee

Only on the southwest extremity, is it linked directly to the mainly at Whithead, where it bounds the parish of Templecorran. The Churches of Islandmagee have few early records.

Islandmagee Second Presbyterian has marriage records dating from 1848 and baptismal from 1854 onwards. These records can be supplemented by Gravestone Inscriptions, compiled by R. S.
