Curwen / Corn (or something similar) of Enniskillen c1780's

[guest189040]

I am trying to find information on William Curwen who was born in Enniskillen in about 1781, he moved to Lancashire in England and married an Alice Hodgen/Hodgson in 1812 in Bolton le Sands near Lancaster and Lived the remainder of his life in Nether Keller near Carnforth.

The census records give a variety of surnames so we presume that the census taker had difficulty with his accent.

Their Daughter Catherine married a Robert Gorse/Goose in 1848, and they also resided in Nether Kellet, as you can see I am having a little difficulty with surnames

http://trees.ancestry.co.uk/tree/42453927/family will take you to my family tree in Ancestry where you can see the lineage

All I have on William Curwen is a census entry that says he was born in Enniskillen in 1871, that's it, I cannot find anything further so I am hoping that another Roots Chat member is also researching the Curwen's (or a similar sounding name) in the area and that they can help fill in the gaps.

Many thanks

Many thanks, I am aware of familysearch.org, but  I cannot find anything about him on Ancestry, Find My Past or Familysearch.org

What else exactly are you hoping to find online? William was born well before the start of civil registration in Ireland and many churches will not have records going back before 1850 let alone before 1800 (of those churches that do have surviving records most will probably not be online anywhere).

Spelling was not consistant until fairly recently so it's not uncommon to find all sorts of variations for a particular surname (sometimes 2 or more different spellings within a single document).

It would seem that Irish records are limited but you never know there could be a member with a family bible that has the whole family tree in it.

If you do not ask a question you do not get an answer

It is now three years after I initiated the thread and there is no online updates that have enabled me to find out anything at all on the Wiliam Curwen.
