Irish Catholic church records in County Armagh

Due to the The Penal Laws, Irish Catholic church records in county Armagh and throughout Ireland are mostly later than Protestant parish registers. The Penal Laws banned the erection of Catholic Churches as well as record keeping by the Roman Catholic clergy. The oldest Catholic registers generally date from the 1820's. although there are a number of parishes with church records commencing in the 17th and 18th centuries.

Irish Catholic records are almost entirely for baptisms and marriages, though death or funeral entries do occur occasionally. Irish Catholic records themselves are often closely written although from the 1860s proforma registers are more common and are sometimes in Latin.

The baptism entries include the names of sponsors and marriage entries, the names of witnesses. Roman Catholic parishes are often made up of parts of more than one civil parish and so searching under several parishes is necessary to find all the records of the Roman Catholic parish.
