Patrick McManus & Hannah McGuire of Maguiresbridge, Fermanagh

I assume the family were RC. If so, sadly the RC records for Maguiresbridge don't start till 1835, so if Patrick & Hannah married and had children well before that date, then there’s no records to find.  Many RC parishes don’t have records before the 1820s, so this problem is quite common. Researching in Ireland in the late 1700s and early 1800s is very difficult due to the lack of records.

Thanks.This info is very helpful.
