The best approach is to find out everything you can in Canada and the US before looking in Ireland, which is why I focused on that. One reason is to learn their religion. The baptism records in Ireland are organized by religion, obviously, and the births you are looking for are long before the civil records, which would include all in one source.

So you are looking for a C of I family. as Elwyn Soutter pointed out, the records are scarce.

Why do you say they are from Fermanagh? Family knowledge, or is there a record in Canada that says so?

Here’s a map of all the 22 civil parishes in Fermanagh:

Plus a link to the PRONI catalogue which tells you what records exist for each of those parishes:

Some have been transcribed, but many have not. Here’s a link to those that have been transcribed. You need to go through them parish by parish, focusing on the Church of Ireland records. For the remainder, they aren’t on-line and you need to go to PRONI to view them (unless it says local custody, in which the Minister still has the only copy):

This is all helpful -- thanks!  The Fermanagh information originated on the Findagrave website, as I recall.  But, of course, it could be wrong.
