Don't have it in front of me, but also listed a parish, something like Agavea. He was protestant, presumably Church of Ireland. How do i find the address of a church to write to for the birth record? >> Parish is Aghavea. Unfortunately, baptismal records start 1815. You should join the FERMANAGH-L. (Send message SUBSCRIBE to FERMANAGH-L@rootsweb.com) Someone there might know exact church address (although "Church of Ireland, Maguiresbridge, Co Fermanagh, NI" would probably get it there. ) Maybe there are marriage records that would help you.
