Church of Ireland in Lack, Co Fermanagh

[KatC]

Charles Maurice Stack was said to be the vicar of this church 1851-1877 before becoming the Bishop of Clogher.  Charles Maurice England was born about 1854 and should probably have been baptized in Seagoe or Knocknamuckley, Co Armagh.  The record is not there.  The man did not list his father on his marriage record.  He is not listed in an 1857 census for Knocknamuckley, but lives there after his marriage in 1880. He appears to be from a Co. Armagh family named England, but no Co Armagh England is named anything remotely like Charles or Maurice.  Would anyone be able to see if he was named after Rev Stack and baptized at the Lack church?  If so,  I would be very interested in knowing who his parents were and why they might have been there.

Charles Maurice Stack, Archdeacon of Clogher, was elected by both orders of clergy and laity, obtaining over two-thirds majority. He was cons, on June 20,th, 1886, in Armagh Cathedral by Primate Knox, assisted by the Bps. of Meath, Ossory and Kilmore.- Dr. Wm. Reeves Was at the same time cons.

If no father names on marriage certificate then it's more than likely he was illegitimate.

Thanks all.  I don't see a connection yet, but it sounds like it had to be from the Lack church if the vicar was in Wales earlier.  Perhaps a mention in a newspaper was caught by an expectant mother.  Knocknamuckley lists illegitimate children, but Seagoe doesn't seem to.
