Alexander Graham married in Fermanagh around 1870
« on: Monday 30 August 21 15:38 BST (UK) »
Hello, am looking for any information on Alexander Graham, who married a woman called Isabella Betty (no surname) in Fermanagh.  I don't know his date of birth, but he and Isabella had a daughter called Isabella born in Enniskillen in 1874.  I have the family after this, but can't seem to find anything on Alexander or his wife's family before this.  It is thought by his granddaughter that Alexander may have been born in Scotland.
If anyone can find, or direct me to further information on his family, I would be very grateful.
Many thanks,
Frosty

Have you searched for his marriage on the website for BMDs, Irish Genealogy.ie?

Added. Was the mother's surname not on baby Isabella's birth registration?

Kiltaglassan beat me to it.
Writing (scrawl) on Isabella's birth registration is hard to make out.
Were there other children? Were they born in Fermanagh? Mother's name should be on their birth registrations too.

Would have been good to find a birth place for Alexander, as we would then know where to look for his family, either in Ireland or Scotland - but the documents don't include place of birth, it seems.  At least we know his father's name was also Alexander!

Many thanks for your help,
Frosty
