Looking for marriage of Patrick McManus & Hannah McGuire, and birth of any children, in particular John b. abt 1811, probably Maguiresbridge. Thanks. Lorraine

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.

Hello
You could also try the Fermanagh Genealogy Centre for any potential links / leads to other archive records. They publish two journals a year which contain articles and step by step guides to tracing family history and delving into local history.
