Lissan County Tyrone

[MoonrakerDave]

Help, I have just been on the computer map of the world to try and find a town, this town being Lissan County Tryone, Lissan came up in a different county. Can the people in Ireland please confirm that this town exists?
My Gt Gt Gt grandfather was  born there, I have information on this, quote John Stewart, gamekeeper, of Co Tyrone and Jane Marshall ofClontyairy were married in Lissan Church of Ireland Church on 7th Nov 1848, he a widower aged 39 and she a widow aged 26, fathers Thomas Stewart Labourer and Alexander bell farmer, witnesses John Hutchingson and John Morris. Unquote.
I am finding no references to Thomas Stewart any where in Ireland.

Regards

Lissan is not a town- it is the name of and townland and the parish.

Information about the church on the Church of Ireland website includes link to a map- it's just north of Cookstown:

Church website-

Does the marriage certificate say that John Stewart was living in Lissan townland? Irish marriage certificates list residence of bride and groom (at time of marriage) which may or may not be where they were born or their families lived.

I am finding no references to Thomas Stewart any where in Ireland.

Civil registration of deaths started in 1864- if Thomas died before that date it will be difficult to find a record. If the family was Church of Ireland there may be an entry in a burial register- not all Church of Ireland records pre 1870 survive- but you need to know where the Stewart family were from. Since son John was a gamekeeper, John might have come to Lissan area to work. Marriage certificates do not always indicate if father was deceased.

Lissan Church of Ireland burial registers survive from 1753. Before that the parish was united with neighbouring Desertlyn.

looking to find out more about Daniel McIvor who died 14 June 1870 and a 'Sarah' Mcivor (doesn't say whether wife or daughter or ?) present at death. He was 66 and a farmer.

I am looking for any more information - whether a burial stone? or his children? wife? history?
I had believed this was 'my' ancestor - father of Joseph of Bracky.

Thank you for any help

Did you mean to post this elsewhere? or is your query connected to this thread somehow?

There is a townland called Bracky in co. Tyrone but it's not near Lissan-

Added- I see that you've a few other topics on the McIvors- best to stick to 1 topic to avoid confusion-

Yes, my post was meant to be here. The Daniel McIvor who died 14 June 1870 was from Lissan - according to his death information and I'm trying to find out more since I thought he was 'my' Daniel. He might or might not be. Eliminating him is helpful too

The only close match for that death that I can find at the moment is this Daniel McIver- Omagh registration district
https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/details-civil/15999518551373

There is a death for a Sarah McIver, age 64, in 1879-

It looks like this is the Lissan townland that you should be looking for (south of Omagh)- not the one in Lissan Parish near Cookstown.

Best to stick to your own thread rather than muddling up this one on another family from another Lissan.
