Trying to locate Robert Robinson Wife Faith Knox early 1800 Parish Of Templecarn

[RobinsonC]

Ok, my Dad has been looking for this guy for 5+ years now and I have now started helping. So my father and I are exploring all means necessary () to keep our generational information going.

Robert Robinson had children by the names of :

James Robinson (1844-1917) -- Have found conflicting report. Baptismal in 1842 in St. Marys Chuch, Ardess Co. Fermanagh

Mary Robinson(?)
Jane Robinson(1829-1903)
Ann Robinson(1840-1921)

Farmer in Fermanagh County
We think his middle name was Archibald but not sure.

Married Faith Knox
Immigrated in 1846 from Fermanagh County Ireland to Kincardin Ontario and after that he fell off the face of the earth...

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. My father has been to Ireland trying to find things but ran out of time and was unsuccessful.

Your post on the CANADA board says

Have little info on Robert other than "he came with his family to Kincardin and went back to Fermanagh County to reclaim what was left of his holdings"--but have no proof to validate this story.

You could try the Central Library Letterkenny, Oliver Plunkett Road, Letterkenny, County Donegal, Ireland. they have some document of passenger list.  Your relatives must have gone to Canada in the famine years of ireland.

I see James Robinson was born in 1844-1917 and the other chidren would have been born in Fermanagh before they moved to Ontario.  Have you seen or got copies of the birth certificates, it should tell you the name of the Townland in Fermanagh they came from.

Hi,
    It is unfortunate, but there will be no birth certificates as civil registration of births did not start in Ireland until 1864. Before this you will have to search church records where these exist.
