Hi everybody. I’ve come to a dead end. My g grandfather was called Samuel fagan birn 1837. He married in 1874 at Loughgilly parish church to a Mary Rafferty. Samuel died in 1913 and buried at ballenon reformed Presbyterian church near poyntzpass. On the marriage certificate it states his father was John fagan a labourer. I have searched for John fagan and there is so many from all over Ireland I can’t get a handle on him at all.
Going back to samuel fagan he may have been in Royal Navy before he married. On the HMS Marlborough according to 1861 England census. I tried to get his navy record but no luck. On the census states place of both was coleraine which is a new on on us.
I have traced many of our family and have over 2000 names on the tree but this man I cannot find. Aghhh.
Thank you for any guidance you can give.
