Peter, My thoughts are that you are looking at two different sets of records: it is perhaps rather easy to be confused.
My transcriptions for ALTEDESERT https://www.cotyroneireland.com/churchrecord/altedesert.html and POMEROY https://www.cotyroneireland.com/churchrecord/pomeroy.html churches (as stated on the headers) are extracted from Civil Registration records which were filmed by the LDS in the 1960s. These are distinct from church registers. The filmed records in PRONI, Belfast are of the actual Church Registers, so it is possible to locate two records for marriages: one religious and the other civil. Many civil records are available online (with images from c1864) at https://www.cotyroneireland.com/churchrecord/altedesert.html Good luck, Len Swindley, Melbourne, Australia Sent from Mail<https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=550986> for Windows 10 ________________________________ From: CoTyroneList <[email protected]> on behalf of Peter McKittrick via CoTyroneList <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, November 4, 2019 4:07:08 PM To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Cc: Peter McKittrick <[email protected]> Subject: [CoTyroneMailingList] Altedesert Parish C of I Records and Pomeroy Presbyterian Records Altedesert C of I >From PRONI Guide to Church Records, Baptisms 1877-; marriages 1846-; and >burials 1877- are in “local custody", yet Len Swindley’s transcriptions >mention FHL Film and suggest filming by PRONI staff.

In any case, as Len Swindley has transcribed marriages 1846-1852 which hopefully overlaps into nidirect marriage records (from 1845 depending on denomination) if one is looking for such marriages and baptisms and burials before 1877 (baptisms and deaths from 1877 are well into nidirect records) there does not seem much point in viewing these records wherever they are, except for the slim chance of picking up something not registered. Is that a reasonable statement?

Appreciate any comments. Regards Peter McKittrick, Cheltenham, Victoria, Australia
