JOSEPH WEAVER
« on: Sunday 27 January 08 18:08 GMT (UK) »
Trying to find some information about Joseph Weaver lived in Enniskillen in 1875 had a brother Thomas in Winchester.
Was born in Ledbury Herefordshire father Richard mother Sarah.
I know he lived in Enniskillen as he is mentioned in the will as an executor of my great grandfathers estate in 1875.  My g. grandfather being Thomas Weaver.
I know there were several other brothers who lived in Oxford but were born in Ledbury.

Hello  janmary,

Your Weaver ancestors must have moved to Fermanagh after Griffith's Valuation (1848-64) took place in the county. The only counties where the name Weaver was listed were ... Antrim, Cavan, Down, Dublin, Mayo and Sligo
