Researching James Vance (1811-1879)

Thank you

Elwyn, My GG Thomas Vance was born in Canada in December of 1841. I have his birth registration and baptism from the record books at the Ottawa's Anglican Diocesan Archives. The Thomas Vance that you mention in Mullaghfarne could be his father. Would the church there also have records of possible siblings?

Sorry, I made a mistake. The Thomas Vance in Mullaghfarne might be his grandfather and the father of James 1811-1879.

Thanks for the information. The information I am searching for would be marriage and births records because I know where they are buried in Canada.

James married Jane Davis 3 April 1840, Kesh, Co. Fermanagh, http://www.igp-web.com/IGPArchives/ire/fermanagh/churches

Thank you to Jamie. Your research and information of their marriage record at the Turbid Church Kesh is very useful because now I have an exact date. Where is shows abode, does that mean the place where the groom and bride were living at the time of their marriage?
Also there is no listing of their parent's names on the registration. Was that not a common practice in 1840?
Thanks again for your help

Dear Wendy,

Many apologies for not answering sooner.

Abode, yes, would be the place whereeither  the groom or bride were living at the time of their marriage. and though parent's names are often listed on the registration (or one, usually father anyway) they are sadly often omitted.

Hi I am researching my great grandparents who came over from Ireland to Scotland at the turn of the century or so, William Vance  son of James & Isabella Vance from Rotten Mountain (Fermanagh) I have attached Williams baptism & Birth certificates.

Whilst in Glasgow my grandfather was born James Vance, I am busy researching the Irish side of the family who were mostly Vance (Fermanagh) and Hughes (Donegal)
