Patrick Martin & Rose-Ann Martin (nee Martin) - Fermanagh

FermanaghEnniskillen (Fermanagh)

Im trying to determine who the parents of the husband of my x2 great grandpas sister is.

My great grandpas sister is Rose-Ann Martin b. c 1830 in Fermanagh daughter of Patrick Martin & Jane Bleakley.

Rose-Ann Martin (nee Martin) married Patrick Martin (she married a guy with the exact same name as her dad)

Im assuming Rose-Annes husband was born circa 1830 as well but died before she came to Australia

Thank you

I assume this family was RC. The baptisms, death, and marriage are all before the start of statutory registration in Ireland (1864) and so you have to rely on church records. Unfortunately many of the parishes in Fermanagh don’t have birth or marriage records for the years you are interested in.

I searched the Irish RC parish records on Ancestry but did not find either Rose Ann’s birth or her marriage.  Few RC churches kept burial records so there’s unlikely to be any record of either Patrick Martin’s death if before 1864.

DNA resting may be the only way of identifying the right families.
