Find Ancestors

Trying to find any information on the following: Parents of John Norman Nisbit, (Nesbit, Nisbett) baptised in Cregagh, Belfast in 1914. DOB 18th June 1914. We know father was J. B. Sweeney and Mother Elizabeth Stuart Nisbit. Would like to try and find their dates of birth, any census showing them anywhere in Ireland or England if possible.

Many thanks

Phyll

marriage of Elizabeth Stuart Nisbet to John Birchall Sweeney took place at Armargh Ireland in 1903

Very many thanks lostmeboardname. Does the marriage record any of their parents names? Any idea where they were in 1911 please.

Once again my grateful thanks.

Hello Phyll, the only info on FindMyPast is the index of the marriage, there are no details - you'd need to send off for the certificate for that.

Phyll....

Havent found any family for John Sweeney (Cork) so far....have searched 1901 census for any Sweeney who is not RC (Co Cork)...only 1 family Simon Sweeney but he is to young also he is RC but wife and children Church of Ire. No Presbyterians...
Checked through the Co Armagh also but nothing coming up....appears John was Pres.before his marriage so discounts change of Rel after his marriage...

??? I know the age is a bit out?
