Donagheady Parish Church (Church of Ireland), Co. Tyrone: Hamilton Baptisms, Marriages & Burials 1754-65
DONAGHEADY PARISH REGISTERS
The earliest surviving registers for
this church are dated 1697 – 1723, however at this stage I have not
attempted to extract any entries from them as many pages are very difficult
to read.
The next period is 1753 – 1765 and
these begin with the following notes :
Andrew Hamilton, D. D. died, Sept.
22d 1753, rector of Donoghkiddy about 64 years – must have been inducted at
the age of 20, in the 1st or 2d year of William & Mary, 1608, or 1609.
1753. 14 baptisms this year, after
Dr. Hamilton’s Death – No register came to the present Rector’s Hands, but a
very imperfect one, confusedly kept in two Vestry Books, to the year 1732,
or there about.
(signed) Geo Bracegirdle, Rector.

BURIALS
A note in the Burial register of
1754:
The reason for so few Burials are
enter’d , is, an indecent custom of interring without sending to the
Minister to attend – That the papists should, always, & the Presbyterians,
generally, omit it, is not to be wonder’d; but it is astonishing, that
those, who are of the Establish’d Church, should chuse to bury their
deceased Friends’ like Dogs.
