Hi,
I'm but I'm trying to find a Fermanagh Dalton, A. Dalton who may have married Mary Phair in 1820s. I'm trying to trace the families of my paternal grandparents Phair & Coalter/Coulter. My ancestor James Phair had a daughter Mary Phair who is supposed to have married A. Dalton and had two children(at least) one William and one Alexander c1835. This is all the info I have.
The Phairs/Fairs were Church of Ireland and some were Methodist, they lived at Mullyknock (Topped Mountain) and Feddans in Co Fermanagh, so it is feasable that they could have known the Daltons. I have mapped out the Fermanagh Daltons, using the 1911 census, 1901 census and various marriage records from the Irish Family History Foundation (IFHF), but can't find any info to link them together, or to known whether one of the Andrew or Alexander Daltons married a Mary Phair/Fair. If anyone could help I'd much appreciate it. Here are some of the names I've found in the hope that someone may recognise them.
