Philip Martin

Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!

I wasn't able to find a baptism record for Philip Martin but rootsireland.ie does show a baptism for a Patrick Martin born to a father Terence Martin and a mother first name Bridget (last name not recorded) in the parish of Booterstown/Blackrock Dublin in 1822. I couldn't see a marriage record for Terence and Bridget. Other children include: Anne & James, 1819; Patrick (above); John, 1815 and Laurence, 1813. 

There is also a baptism record for a Terence in the same parish in Jan 1785, obviously the Terence above. His parents were recorded as William Martin and Ann (surname not recorded).

Can I ask why you think Philip was born/baptised in Fermanagh. Could the above family be your ancestors, there are some similarities?

I see that that were still Martin listings in Caste Coole in the 1901 Census, I wonder if some are related?

Let me know what you think

Thank you Clare! Philip's obit mentioned Fermanagh and various other records we have point that is where the family originated from. It has been sometime since I have reviewed my collection of artifacts, but I do believe there was an Ann. Also, Terence and Bridget had a son named Constantine. I think there were a total of 8 children. The Martin's in 1901 at Castle Coole, have a high probability of being related. I have a story I found about an Earl of Castle Coole in the 1700's being indebted to a Sarah Martin, she may be connected also. I think Terence had a brother named Bernard. It shows on a Catholic Marriage record that Constantine married his first cousin Catherine in which it shows Terence and Bernard as brothers.

I forgot to mention that there was a John Martin that died early on when the family first settled in Kansas. His reads 'Uncle John' and we believe him to be Philip's brother.
