McGreece Family; Fermanagh, Donegal

FermanaghDrumkeeran (Fermanagh)

Yes you may have seen this posting previously but still chasing these ancestors

William McGreece b c 1804 and wife Jane Cashore [Cashon] were married at Tubrid Church, Kesh 19th July 1826 and have 4 children's baptisms recorded at Tubrid Church, Kesh, Fermanagh

Anne Jane b 1833, Alexander b 1835, John b 1838, Thomas b 1841

However 2 earlier children, Sidney [female] b c1827 and William b c1829 birth places are not known and am unable to find a birthplace, accurate date and parent details for William or Jane; family records indicate Wm born 1804/ 1805

Have recently been informed of Burial for Sidney McGreece 29/4/1859; Boa Is, Templecarn, Donegal; am thinking may be William McGreece' mother

Can anyone direct me where I might view this record

Other instances of this family name occur in Spinning Wheel records, Tithe Books; Hugh and Patrick but no connection known

You don?t say what denomination the family were. The Fermanagh Gold site appears to have some Templecarn church and cemetery records.

If the family were Church of Ireland then PRONI in Belfast has a copy of the burial register for the years 1825 to 1985. They are not on-line and a personal visit is generally required to access them. (Most other denominations didn?t keep burial records).
