HI,
I'm looking for two marriage certificates for Thomas Wilson born 1842 died 1901. I believe he was a Methodist. Lived at 35 Townhall Street Enniskillen Ireland in April of 1887. Listed his occupation as Farmer. His first wife was Margaret Jane (maybe O'Brien?) they had 7 Children first one, Angel born in 1850 last one born around 1867-9. Then he married a Jane Carrothers (sp?). They also had 7 children. First child Lettie born 1875.
In particular, I am hoping to find the maiden name of Margaret Jane and any identifying info for her parents etc.
On another note (and I might need to make this a new post) this is my first time posting here. I think there was a family of Wilsons that owned or ran the Post Office in Enniskillen (two of the sons fought in WWI). They might be cousins to the above. Any info at all you could tell me about them would be appreciated.
Thanks so much for any help you can give me.

First wife was probably Margaret Jane Levingstone, married 23.3.1847 Enniskillen. Second wife Jane Carrothers, married 5.1.1872. You can view the original certificates on-line on the GRONI website, using the “search registrations” option:

You will need to open an account and buy some credits. It costs £2.50 (sterling) to a view a certificate.

Have you no names for the ones born 1864 onwards??
Their Reg would get mother's name!

Latitia Wilson, daughter of Thomas Wilson & Jane Caruthers, born 1874 Enniskillen district- this is probably the Lettie you mentioned-
https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/birth_returns/births_1874/03149/2154868.pdf
It would be fairly uncommon, although not impossible, for a farmer to move from one district to another. Are you sure both marriages are for the same Thomas Wilson? (the marriage to Jane Carruthers should list whether bachelor or widower)

Wow! You are all incredible. I see now the mistakes I've made with dates (face palm). I must've estimated them at some point and not updated as I found more info. I also see that I should have given you every bit of info I have on their families.
So Thomas Wilson and wife 1 Margaret Jane (I now think she is Livingstone based on what you all have sent me) I think this wife died around 1873. Had 7 children: Angel who died in 1916 (not sure of birth date) and she had no children. Then Mary Ann Wilson who married Jonathon Pollock, next was Alexander Wilson who I believe had a daughter Gertie who married a Kerr, then Robert Wilson, next my relative Margaret Jane Wilson Feb 11 1865-May 3 1930 who married William Gilbert in Dublin (Son of Thomas Gilbert and Mary Moore), George Wilson who moved to the USA and finally Elizabeth Wilson.
Thomas Wilson then remarried Jane Carrothers. They had the following 7 children: Lettie Wilson Grimoson, Rebecca Wilson married Jack Beresford (had children Harold, William, Edith, Mable), Thomas William Wilson July 8 1877 Enniskillen- Dec 26 1958 New Jersey, Catherine Wilson married Thomas Beresford had daughter Bertha (Jack and Thomas are brothers), Charlotte Wilson, William Wilson, Ben Wilson died after 1959 (was living in 1959 in Port Stewart)
I have found someone I believe to be related online whose parent's last names were Howe (father) and Brown (mother) and through her mother's side had the Wilson cousins that owned or ran the post office in Enniskillen. Trying to figure out how her Wilson's connect to mine.
