National Archives of Ireland lookup request

[kings2convicts]

I've been looking for birth details of my great grandfather Edward Fitzgerald Trevor born in Dublin in 1863.  It's a bit of a mystery - in 1871 he's with he's father at a hotel in Brighton...but I never have them anywhere together again...and when his father dies in 1896 ...son doesn't appear to inherit anything.  His marriage certificate states his parents were Major General John Salusbury TREVOR CSI and Mary Trevor nee Fitzgerald....but I've never found details of their wedding. 

I have found records of JS Trevor marrying an Elizabeth Dawson in 1873 in Brighton when his son is 9, and that marriage certificate states he is a bachelor (rather than widower). My theory is that Edward may have been illegitimate - but I just don't know.


The National Archive of Ireland has a miscellaneous file generated in the 1970's - of baptism searches done for EF Trevor.  Which tells me that someone else tried to solve the mystery...and it must have been somewhat interesting for the archivist of the time to save the searches.

Small Private Accessions 1972–1997 999/1–999/850 999/565 EXTRACTS FROM PARISH REGISTERS Baptism searches 18 n.d. Hanna Boland Buttevant, Cloyne Catholic 19 1846 Jane Anderson Lislane, Co. Londonderry Meeting House 20 1862–1863 Edward F. Trevor Dublin

I'm in Australia and not likely to get to a Dublin in forseeable future - but I'd love to know what the contents of this file reveal (if anything)

If anyone is able to look it up for me - maybe the mystery might be solved. :-)

Hi,
   Not sure if this helps and I do not know what the national Archives reference means but a Meeting House in Ireland is usually a Presbyterian Church. The townland of Lislane in County Londonderry lies between Drumsurn and Limavady and Balteagh Presbyterian Church is situated there.

Sorry I can't help with the NLI lookup but it is a fascinating story.

I think the extract would make more sense if laid out this way-
EXTRACTS FROM PARISH REGISTERS Baptism searches
[item] 18 n.d. Hanna Boland Buttevant, Cloyne Catholic
[item] 19 1846 Jane Anderson Lislane, Co. Londonderry Meeting House
[item] 20 1862–1863 Edward F. Trevor Dublin

A few things struck me when reading this thread earlier-
Is the basis for Mary Fitzgerald being Edward's mother solely his middle name of Fitzgerald? if he was illegitimate his birth is probably registered under his mother's surname, whatever it was.
Have you seen JS Trevor's Will? does it mention Edward by name at all or is he merely not included amongst the bequests?
JS Trevor seems to have spent most of his time before and after Edward's birth in India (his career is well documented at least) so perhaps he wasn't actually Edward's father but just raised him for some reason.

What was John's father's name and occupation from the marriage cert ?

Maybe going back a generation might help !

Does this record look connected somehow ?

Possible mistranscription is Salisbury

Lots come up via Google but they seem to be a Welsh family.

Just coincidental then

In 1865 in an Irish newspaper there is mention of a Captain Salisbury Trevor's wife having a daughter in Calcutta.

You said John was a Major !

Was he possibly a Captain earlier in his career ?

Is it possible Edward was actually born in India ?

Do all census state Dublin ?
