I am trying to find information on the family of William and Sarah Evans, I have found the following children born to them 1. Sarah b. 2 Oct 1825 2. Matilda b. 21 Jul 1828 3. John b. 22 Jan 1831. What I do know is John Evan's (the son b.1831) migrated to Australia.I recently found a entry of marriage for Matilda Evans to John James in 1855.
Hope this is a bit clearer!
Any further info would be a great.
Thanks

Can't help with the family bit Killycarnan is a townland in the Civil Parish of Galloon, there were only 15 households at the time of Griffith's Valuation in 1862, none were Evan by then.

For any one searching the Galloon parish referred to above is the COI parish.

recently found a entry of marriage for Matilda Evans to John James in 1855
Groom was John James Crowe- and her father given as Robert Evans in extract-

Added- Irish Genealogy has the marriage indexed under Larne registration district but GRONI under Fermanagh district.

This seems to be a possible match Matilda Evan's marriage that I found:
1855
John James
Matilda EVANS
Irvinestown
Fermanagh

GRONI give the groom's surname as CROWE not James.

Searching for Matilda Evans in marriages brings up this-
1855 - john james __ [lock symbol hiding surname] - matilda EVANS - Irvinestown - Fermanagh
The groom's name will not be shown unless you pay for the information. The groom was John James CROWE.

OK thanks for that.
-
On looking at that entry just now on family search it gives father of Matilda as Robert, but could be a error ???
-
Here r the two daughters listed
Matilda of William & Sarah Evans, Killycornan
Sarah of Wm & Sarah Evans of Killacorn.
http://www.igp-web.com/IGPArchives/ire/fermanagh/churches/galloon-register1.txt
Entries state Killycornan the district but not the village?

Given the names/dates etc have you checked IGP for them?

I'm fairly sure the first post said the marriage was found on IGP but it appears to have been edited.

Yes it did say that!
It was subsequent Marriage for children I was wondering if IGP had been searched for them as the first post mentioned a Marriage in Galoon that was found on IGP or first post (before editing)

Given that all mention of IGP HAS BEEN ELIMINATED FROM THE ORIGINAL POST I take it the answer is No!!

... or perhaps you are just gathering anyone named Evans in the area and trying to make them 'fit' into one family tree :-\
-
No I did say possibility!

I didn't mean just the bit about possible error listing bride's father as Robert Evans rather than the William Evans you are hoping for.
You seem to have started with John's Australian death certificate which lists parents as William Evans and Annie Keohan which has changed to William and Sarah Evans possibly to fit the records you found online. Not all church records from this period survive and of those that do not all are online.
