I'm thinking Methodist as some Emerson's were and the gravemarker has GM or could be CM after his name - it's weather worn. My father was Presbyterian and then United --my mother she was green

Hello Paddy,
My GG Grandfather was Robert Emerson, born in or near Enniskillen about 1810. I see there'e a Robert among John's siblings and since I cannot seem to find his exact birth record nor his parents, I'm wondering if this is the same family. Robert immigrated to Canada(that's where I'm from) and I found his tombstone in a pioneer cemetery. The inscription on the tombstone read: " Robert Emerson
died 1894 Age 84 yrs CM(or GM). Joined Loyal Orange Lodge no. 1711 County of Fermanagh Ireland 1831." I traced Lodge #1711 and was told it was at Ballydoolagh a hamlet near Enniskillen. It is now defunct and I'm told the records probably went to HQ in Belfast but I can't get anything from them.
I was also told that a large percentage of birth records from the area were destroyed in the Easter uprising. Hitting a stone wall I gave up a few years ago. Yesterday I googled by chance and found your entry. ... Could this be the same family?? my email is (*) I'd like to converse if you don't mind. Bob Emerson
