Wondering if anyone could help me on a part of my family tree. We're having trouble finding a birthdate for my gg grandfather William Ingram (1857-1839). He's in the 1901 and 1911 census so that's how we've gotten his (rough) birth year but he doesn't seem to have any sort of birth records. We also can't find out who his parents are, we know his father is William because he's listed on his wedding cert but can't find out who his mother is. Any help would be greatly appreciated. If you need the links to any of the records or need more family info just ask me! :)

As you don't give a link to them on Census we have no Religion for them.
RC Registers are online, free.
Some Church records on http://www.igp-web.com/IGPArchives/ire/fermanagh/church.htm

22 yrs married in 1911.. you could check Registers and surrounding Parishes for Marriage, get Townland for him.
Then check which office a Birth would be registry office for him if born after 1865

He was married in 1889, i have the cert for that (https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/marriage_returns/marriages_1889/10735/5914230.pdf) but it's his birth i'm struggling with. He was born before 1865 so registering births wasn't compulsory yet. Also have no idea on what month so looking through that register would take ages, last resort i'll read through it but i'm checking first to see if anyone has any ideas of where to look.

Had quick look on http://registers.nli.ie/parishes/0284 for 1854/56 bapt, no luck!
You only need to read 1st column for any Gulielmus as you scroll down!

Thanks for looking anyway. I've been working on this for over a year. My next plan is to go and find their graves if possible. I know where William (1857) is buried but i'm not sure where his parents might be buried. I atleast know they died between 1857 and 1901 so atleast thats a bit closer lol

The Register is easy as child is named in 1st column so just a matter of scrolling through them....

I find the writing hard to read a lot of the time, but I did go down through it and didn't really see anything

Which is how research should be done- searching entry by entry, page by page, step by step- and was done before the internet came along... ::)
