Sorry, but I don't have that marriage certificate. I know some info from Ancestry trees, but that isn't proof. and although you keep mentioning the rev's sister, I have no idea what you are talking about. I would be most grateful if you could clarify. I am not an expert, I am asking for help I really am sinking a little here.

Looks like you already had that Marriage Cert and as has been said many times one is better off disclosing what they have as it saves others using up their time and Internet allowance looking for things already known and also easier to find things based on what is known.. It wouldn't take a genius to find Moffatt descendants around today especially those of the Rev's sister and am surprised the Methodist archives didn't say who the Rev's parents were or the address he was at when he entered training.... As for an equivalent place... there isn't anything close to FG!! Tipperary I believe is pretty tightly "controlled" by the Genealogy centre there using RootsIreland stuff which you can read up on and decide for yourself on reliability..... http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=670189.0 Civil Reg Indices are back on line again, plus there are the Irish records on LDS, all the RC Parish records are due for release shortly which will be massive!! The cost an initial ASSESSMENT is €150.00 at Genealogy centre here and you're looking at almost €400 and that's just for Male line http://www.leitrimroots.com/research-services/index.html for stuff that is online (Census, Griffiths, Tithes, Pension Apps, etc etc) and records coming on line.. so you'll need a big budget if you have a few to do.. Given that the male line is what you get then you'll need brothers for the Rev if any... whereas you won't get the Rev's sister's line which is easier to follow. You have the Rev's career... were there any write up of the Parishes he was at? I found one on mine and wrote to Parish who then told me where he went and within 3 days I had 6 generations right up to present incl. g/stones in Canada just by following clues, Census etc.... There is just so much on line now it's almost impossible not to find people but some counties like Tipp keep records very inaccessible to people and I think Cavan is the same... "you pay up or else!" One problem you have is that Irish people don't like making it known that one of theirs was in the British Army despite 1000's dying during the War.... If you are only looking for descendants who were Irish and died as recently as 1915 then all that should be on line.. same if they were born after Civil Reg and there were kin left in Ireland... Just based on the Rev's sister that line is a doddle up to 1936 and online stuff after that is limited for many reasons... finding the Rev's g/stone (and there probably is one!) could be very beneficial if one knew where he was buried so Kabristan might be worth checking... as are Moffett letters!

Just doing it from memory... he only mentions the 2 sons and dau Mrs Graham on his will and his niece, so as she is a Brown, his niece, then by deduction....his sister must have married a Brown. Quote from http://applications.proni.gov.uk/DCAL_PRONI_WillsCalendar/WillsSearchImage.aspx?id=172467 "to my niece Elixa Brown, of Gortbrannon, my watch, the bed I use in Knox".. etc etc, from there on 1901 Census you get them, then a subsequent Will one of the Browns from Lurganboy inherited, so then one has to look at Census for them in Lurganboy for the "inheritors".. and from what I THINK.. that inheritor's g/stone is on IGP. and there are these Lurganboy Browns who MIGHT be same/related Browns of Lurganboy http://www.igp-web.com/IGPArchives/ire/fermanagh/photos/tombstones/fermanagh-galloon-st-comgall/target30.html http://www.igp-web.com/IGPArchives/ire/fermanagh/photos/tombstones/fermanagh-galloon-st-comgall/target29.html http://www.igp-web.com/IGPArchives/ire/fermanagh/photos/tombstones/fermanagh-galloon-st-comgall/target28.html The houses in Dublin had to be sold so he must have been well off and probably has a g/stone. A later Brown Will shows another Brown from another townland inheriting that farm.

No problem and it was another FG poster who mentioned LIMERICK that made it easy to find! THAT is why it is IMPORTANT to reveal ALL KNOWN CLUES... and why it has been said many times. OK you didn't have that clue BUT many many posters leave out things LIKE THAT because THEY think them irrelevant... It was THE LIMERICK CLUE ..... .........that made that MOFFITT of FERMANAGH findable!!!
