In the early 1800s there were 18 people named either Chambers or Elliott living in the parish. I'm looking for a David Chambers who married an Elliott. These names were mentioned on my aunt's death certificqte. Sarah Chambers died in New York in October 1915 at age 87. 

Any information would be helpful.

  • George,

    If the marriage was before 1845 it won’t be in the statutory marriage records. You would need to rely on church records. You haven’t said what denomination the couple were but the only denomination with any records for the early 1800s in Killesher is the Church of Ireland. Their records start in 1798. They don’t appear to be on-line anywhere. There is a copy in PRONI in Belfast but a personal visit is required to view them.

    Thanks for yor reply. I did not mention their religion because I don't know it. All I know is that Griffith mentioned that there were 18 people living in Killesher with those names.

  • George,

    The majority of Chambers & Elliotts in Fermanagh in the 1901 census were Church of Ireland or Methodist. And the Methodists would originally have been Church of Ireland too. So I’d try the Church of Ireland records, if you are able to get someone to access them for you.

  • Elwyn,

    Thank you for the hint. i skipped the 1901 as my last known ancestor, Thomas and Martha Chambers, died in Rosslea in 1895 and 1896 restpectively. I'll check the 1901 to see if I can back-track anyone.
