[audrey]

Hi
does anyone know if any census is available for Enniskillen EG 1851 trying to fined  the Lilley family
Martin Lilley born 1831 Enniskillen found a mesion of some Lilleys Mallyknock ,Belmore Street and Derrcara as the first two sons born were John and James I assume  this could be the fathers names of Martin but thats a guess at this stage
Martin Occupation was  Hawker He married Susannah Griffith she was born Devon but they Married in Durham England all the children were born England I have all history from 1855
thanks

Unfortunately the vast majority of Irish census records were destroyed in a fire in the 1920's

In case new members look at this thread and wonder what is available which might provide information for the mid 1800s there are what are known as Census Substitutes covering that period. These are the 1862 Griffith's Valuation extracts which show the heads of household for the Parish of Enniskillen. www.failteromhat.com/griffiths/fermanagh/enniskillen.htm

Hi Audrey

I came across this web site accidently while searching for my own relatives.  There's only one Lilley mentioned and it seems to be 1871 but it might be relevant.  Best wishes
