Derek Beatties Site - A Digital Encyclopedia of Newtownards

This site is great for old photos of Newtownards.  It also has a whole host of bits and pieces, from WWI / WWII photos and records to old maps etc.  Great resource.

Irish/Northern Irish Census records.  Most if not all records from 1901 and 1911 are available.  Sadly due to a fire and war most of  1851, 1841, 1831, 1821 census records are destroyed.

PRONI house is where most Church, Street, Census, Ulster Covinenant, Land Free Holders, Will Records as well as lots more are kept. You will need to have an idea of what you are going to look for.  They will find documents for you but they charge.
