Hi Steve As Len says, such early records are rare in Ireland for various reasons. It’s matter of luck of you can find any.
Nonetheless, I have found several early records on RootsIreland for places all over Ireland. And a quick perusal just now indicates a few “Arthurs” including one from Derry in your time frame. They have daily subscriptions these days so would be worth a quick search. I’d be checking for Arthurs within the geographic area and broad timeframes. You need to search broadly geographically and time wise. Records weren’t that accurate and asIreland is relatively so small the boundaries are very close together.
