Hi
I'm tracing my family tree and I've come to a stop. My great great grandfather Michael Moane married my great great grandmother Margaret Dugan in 1884 in Belfast. On their wedding certificate it states that my great great great grandfather was Bernard Moane and was a farmer and my great great grandfather, Michael Moane - on the marriage certificate - was a soldier and at the time of his marriage his address was 'Military Barrack' and he was born in Fermanagh. I can't find any details of Michael Moane's regiment or when he joined or left the army. Also, there are so many Moanes in Fermanagh that I can't trace Bernard Moane and where he lived and who he married etc. My great great grandmother Margaret Dugan was from the New Lodge and I believe that the Royal Irish Rifles were billeted in Victoria Barracks in 1884 so its likely Michael was based there. They lived in Cleery Street in the Docks area. Can anyone help with the military information and the Fermanagh connection.

Using guesstimates you can guess roughly when Bernard was born and search for death...
Name BERNARD MOANE
Year of Death 1893
Group Registration ID 3875867
SR District/Reg Area Lisnaskea
Deceased Age at Death 70

Then depending on religion check Church records

Same family in 1911 (Michael at home this time, tailor, age 49 so born c1862 just before civil registration of births)-

There's a Bernard Moan, farmer, here in 1901- probably too young to be Michael's father-
