The Public Record Office of Northern Ireland (PRONI) has updated its online Name Search facility at www.proni.gov.uk.
Adding nearly 53,000 entries to its online resource are eight pre-1858 will indexes for the dioceses of Armagh, Clogher, Connor, Down and Kilmore (the oldest from 1608), and more pre-1920 coroners' inquest reports (the earliest dating to 1872).
The Name Search facility also holds surviving fragments of the 1740 and 1766 religious census returns and 1775 dissenters' petitions.
