William Anderson, Navy Captain

Hi Ian,

Church records may be of use to you. Church of Ireland parish registers for the period up to 1870 are public records. Registers are available for about one third of the parishes, however many were destroyed in the Public Records Office in Dublin in 1922. Most are still held by the local clergy, although some are in the National Archives of Ireland and others are in the Representative Church Body Library in Dublin. A list of all surviving registers is available in the National Archives. http://ireland.anglican.org/about/42 and http://www.nationalarchives.ie/.

We also see the Dalton name amoungst researchers here at ireland Reaching Out.

there was no marriage index found yet for Wm Anderson nor William Anderson and Fisher. Though it is a common name in Dublin.

Birth or baptism index records for Stephen or Emily are inconclusive

Military records or pension records index have not been checked yet (especially considering he was a Captain), nor yet city directories,.

We invite others  to help with this search.
