The following records for the congregation of 1st Newtownstewart Presbyterian Church have been microfilmed by the staff of PRONI, Belfast, where they may be consulted: Baptisms: 1890-93; Marriages: 1845-1907. PRONI Ref: MIC1P/59
This congregation was erected in 1802, the first ordained minister was REV. JOHN McFARLAND installed in 1804. The First and Second congregations of Newtownstewart united in 1903.
The condition of the original records, a degree of difficulty in discerning the handwriting and quality of filming make transcription challenging and wherever possible the Ardstraw tithe applotment books (1833-4) and Griffiths Valuation (1858) have been consulted in an attempt to confirm families and townland addresses.
