Parish records from Inishowen peninsula

I found a Church of Ireland baptism record in RootsIreland for the parish of Upper Fahan that says Elizabeth Vance was baptised on 30 Jul 1784, child of George and Martha Vance who lived in Meenalooban near Desertegny on the Inishowen peninsula. These are my Irish ancestors; I'm now looking for older information on George Vance (b. 1756) and Martha (b. 1758, her maiden name was Chemberlin/Chamberlain).

Nothing else appears in RootsIreland, but does anyone know the source of 1700s parish records for Fahan or Inishowen in general or where I could look for more info? There are Vances in Desertegny and Tullydish in the 1740 Protestant Householder's Index who are probably related, but I don't have any connections to George yet.

Any advice greatly appreciated!

Dave Vance
