  • Hi Jay

    Here are the only 2 birth baptism records from www.rootsireland.ie/ for John Fulton 1833 + - 1 year:

    Name:John FultonDate of Birth:20-Oct-1833
    Date of Baptism:
    Address:
    Parish/District:ClarkesbridgeGender:MaleCountyARMAGH
    Denomination:Presbyterian
    Father:John Fulton

    Notes:

    3RD CHILD - 3RD SON. This register is in bad condition and many
    entries are not fully legible and some pages have parts missing.

    Name:John FultonDate of Birth:
    Date of Baptism:13-Oct-1833Address:
    Parish/District:MOUNTJOYGender:MaleCountyTYRONE
    Father:John FultonMother:Unknown Scott

    Just in case you happen to know his religion here's a third (there were a lot of errors in birth years due to illiteracy or lack of knowledge):

    Name:John FultonDate of Birth:
    Date of Baptism:03-May-1835Address:
    Parish/District:BallymacarrettGender:
    CountyCo. Down
    Denomination:Church Of Ireland
    Father:Andrew FultonMother:Margaret McCartenay

    The other clue is whether any of his children are named the same as any of the above fathers or mothers

  • I don’t know his religion in Ireland. His children were named Margaret Fulton, born 1863; Mary (Fulton) Black born 1865; Eliza Leah (Fulton) Congrove, born 1873; and John W. Fulton, born 1873. We were told he & a brother came to Canada and he is shown in a census for West Ontario in 1851as a servant and member of the Church of Scotland. In a census in Ohio in 1860 he is listed as a drayman. Thank you for the information you shared.
