What happened to Jesse Fulton ?
« on: Monday 30 April 18 16:49 BST (UK) »
I have a Jesse Fulton in my tree who I have never been able to find when he died or his resting place, he was born in 1795 in County Derry and served in the military and fought at Waterloo in 1815.
He had a daughter ( my 2x grandmother Mary Jane Fulton born about 1835 ) I don't know who Jesse married or if there was any other children but most of all I have never been able to find any thing about him ( beside Mary Jane ) after waterloo.
I have looked for many years now and am thinking that I probably just need another pair of eyes, someone out there may have something to share.

Thanking you.

hi, I only know she was born in Ireland, all the records I have like census records she is recorded only as IRELAND, what I do know is she married a Robert Kearns 24th Oct 1858 in Belfast and her father named as Jesse Fulton who is a solider.
Of note Jesse is also recorded as a james in one form of the marriage record but I do have a copy of the cert with Jesse recorded.

Here is a record:
Jane not Mary Jane and James, father rather than Jesse.
Jane is born abt 1835.
Are there any clues from the marriage - witnesses etc?
Is it a copy of the civil record you have with her father as Jesse?

I have found your family tree with all the documentation and notes so ignore my questions.  :)

Address at Marriage?

He might have been a Soldier then......but a farmer when he died!!

Hallmark, I have added to previous message.
There is a tree with lots of documentation re Jesse in army and the marriage certificate which says ‘soldier’.

One army record shows Jesse as a shoemaker and born Kilmore, Derry

Yes that will probably be my tree , i tryed to post a copy of the cert but wont load , wrong size ?
but it can be seen in my tree on that website, look under the names Robert Kearns 1829-1901 or Mary Jane Fulton 1835-1910 and there marriage 24 Oct 1858 in Belfast.
the copy i have is a little purple n colour and is a certified copy of an entry in marriage registration records and it says '' after banns ''.
the two witnesses are named as Patrick Corr and Jane Kennedy.
I only just got home from work ( night watch/shift ) so off to bed for me now , back a bit later.

I meant if he left a Will he might not have been a Soldier on it.....
