Barton Morrison Morrow McEwen Graham

How certain are you that John Morrison's bride was Margaret Barton? I ask because there is a marriage registered in Enniskillen on 8.2.1845 between John Morrison & Margaret Chambers. If you get a copy of that it shoudl give you the groom's father's name and townland which may help decide whether it's your family.

Thank you, Ahoghill, very much for your message.

I have this:

Could you recommend where I would look online for the records, please?  There was likely more than one John Morrison marrying a Margaret in Enniskillen in 1845, as I have August 12th and you have August 2nd.  I definitley want to have accurate information, so any suggestions would be really helpful.

Many thanks!

Best,

Allison,

Sorry, I made a mistake with the date. The correct date for the Morrison/Chambers marriage is 8^th August 1845. You can view a copy of the full marriage certificate on-line on the GRONI website for 5 credits (?2). Use the ?search registrations? option. Ref: M/1845/V1/1553/1/2

There was only 1 John Morrison marriage in Enniskillen that year. (Plus one other elsewhere in what is now Northern Ireland. That was in Armagh on 15^th May 1845, to a woman with the surname Graham.)

Tradition was to marry in the bride?s church which will be named on the certificate (unless it was a registry office ceremony), so if it proves to be the family you are researching, that would be the place to search for the bride?s baptism and siblings. (Birth registration did not start in Ireland till 1864 so prior to that you need to rely on church records).
