Are you sure hes your Great Grandfather? Given the fact he was born about 1805, I would think he would be at least your GG or GGG Grandfather. :)

Info posted about him on this family tree site:

You are correct Robert Fowler is my gg/grandfather. His daughter Jane married Richard McQuillan in 1853 at St Margaret's rc church in Ayr. Thank you very much for the website. I have Richard on the beginners board because I do not know where he was born in Ireland this was left blank on his death certificate.  His age varies in any census but it would be around 1835.

Doubtful if a birth record will exist for him from that time period, prior to civil registration (1864) you will be relying on church records, which without knowing where he came from ( at least county and preferably Parish) and the fact that the records are far from comprehensive makes the task very difficult.

A starting place may be  the Irish Times genealogy site name search shows the name concentrated in the north east of Ireland in the mid 19th century, particularly Antrim:

Sorry just a bit confused because of the previous post ??? It is Richard your talking about not Robert?

In order to find church records, if they survive for such an early period, you'll need to know the family's religion. Have a look at the resource topics at the start of the DOWN board and the IRELAND board.

There are 2 topics for Richard McQuillan-
