Seeking information on William Anderson who married Anne Fisher. William was a captain in the navy.
Their daughter Amelia was born about 1804 in Dublin. 14 Aug 1826 she married Stephen Dalton at St Georges, Church of Ireland, Dublin (I have been told it no longer exists). She and Stephen, and their family, miograted to Australia in the 1850s.
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/.
