Reba, Jim McKane has forwarded your off-list enquiry which I will respond to via the Mailing List as the contents may be useful to another Fulton researcher looking for records in Clogherney parish..
Civil registration of Protestant marriages commenced in 1845; registration of Catholic marriages and ALL births and deaths was introduced in 1864. It will be possible to obtain copies of the marriage certificates you require: I assume you found the records below in my files on https://www.cotyroneireland.com/ The reference to Osnagh is correct; to be successful in Irish genealogy it is vital to have an understanding of geography; knowledge of the parish and native townland is all-important – parish and townland maps for all Co. Tyrone parishes can be found on CTI https://www.cotyroneireland.com/menus/maps.html To purchase copies of the original entries go to https://www.irishgenealogy.ie/en/ and click the civil registration and follow the prompts; it will be necessary to register. EDENDERRY PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH https://www.cotyroneireland.com/marriages/edenderry.html #12 December 20 1849 MATHEW FULTON full age bachelor farmer Osnagh, Parish of Clogherny. Father: HENERY FULTON (deceased) & MARTHA HARVEY full age maiden spinster Diverney, Parish of Cappagh. Father: ALEXR. HARVEY (deceased) Witnesses: JOHN McDONNEL & ALEXANDER HARVEY SIXMILECROSS PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH https://www.cotyroneireland.com/marriages/sixmilecrosspres.html #50 July 27 1857 MATTHEW FULTON full age widower farmer Osnagh, Parish of Clogherney. Father: HENRY FULTON farmer & ISABELLA CRAWFORD full age spinster Osnagh, Parish of Clogherney. Father: JOHN CRAWFORD farmer Witnesses: JOHN DONALD & ROBERT CRAWFORD It will not be possible to obtain a record of the death of Martha Fulton (nee Harvey) as I have stated, this occurred prior to 1864. Again, a similar situation for any pre-1864 births. Also, an added problem is that the pre 1900 Sixmilecross Presb. records were destroyed in a fire. Trust this is helpful?

Thanks JIm Jim McKane South Bruce Peninsula, Ontario ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Reba Schweitzer <[email protected]> Date: Wed, Aug 28, 2019 at 11:09 AM Subject: CTI Contact Page Query To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Hi My name is Reba Schweitzer. I live in Queen Creek, Arizona, USA. I am researching the Smyth/Smith and Fulton families in County Tyrone in Northern Ireland. Your website is a great help owing that I find researching Irish ancestry is very difficult for me. I have a couple of questions: 1. In marriages #50 July 27, 1857 for MATTHEW FULTON and ISABELLA CRAWFORD is perhaps the parish name Omagh instead of Osnagh? Is it possible to obtain a copy of this actual record? 2. On the GRONI website all of their records seem to start at 1864. I need documentation prior to 1864. Are birth and death records available? Who would I contact to get these records? I would like to have a record of Matthew Fulton’s prior marriage including her name, a record of her death and any records of their children. I am hoping that this Matthew Fulton is the father of Henry Fulton born 21 Mar 1853. Thanks so much for any help you can give to me. Reba
