Hamilton of Clare, parish of Tullylish, Co Down
« on: Saturday 23 October 10 20:58 BST (UK) »
I'm seeking information on the marriage of my great-grandfather Samuel Hamilton to Anne Howe in the middle of the 19th century (maybe May 1849) and on the typical existence of a weaver/farmer in the townland of Clare in the parish of Tullylish.  In particular, the church where the couple were married would be a helpful advance in my further search for my paternal ancestors.

Any information/advice that anyone can provide will be very much appreciated.  Many thanks.

Hi,
   I cannot find the marriage but a Parent Search on the IGI show that a couple with these names were having children in the 1860s and early 1870s in Kilmore, Co. Monaghan.

I can see why from familysearch.com which gives your date but no quick other clues so lets go looking for other websites you may have searched or not.

for instance http://www.askaboutireland.ie/griffith-valuation/index.xml?
Search for place Clare townland in Tullylish civil parish etc
There are homesteads (some multiple)  for Hamiltons with first names Aaron, Jane, John, Lewis, Mary, William but no Howe

for instance http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~rosdavies/
Search for Hamilton and Howe in Tullylish civil parish, results several Hamiltons but no Howe
I didn’t find the right results but please check me out

for instance http://www.ancestryireland.com/quis  has Samuel Hamilton marriages in Co Down     for 1845,1846,  Marriages in Co Down
good luck, jim
