Church Wardens Enniskillen Parish

CHURCHWARDENS. OF ENNISKILLEN PARISH

1666-1900

NOTE.—Until 1832 one Churchwarden was chosen for the Corporation and the other for the Parish at large—i.e., the Country part. From 1832 to 1867 two were elected for the town and two for the country. In 1868 only one is mentioned for the country ; and from 1869 the names represent the present smaller Parish. I. and E. stand for Inniskilling, and Enniskillen.

Churchwardens before 1773 are taken from the Par. Register in the Public Record Office, Dublin  those in italics being added from a list in Vestry Book No. 2, which was evidently made before some of the missing leaves in the old Register disappeared.
