Stewart 1750 Armagh.
His Father was Andrew Cranston gentleman wife unknown. Est b 1680--1700  ?
His brother was Arch Decan John Cranston of Clogher.
Their father was William Cranston Ço Tyrone.

I found a Thomas Cranston who came during the plantation he was a curate at
Devnish parish co Fermanagh. His will was 1638.

Could there be a family connection there?

The family here in America was Methodist. But Anglican in Ireland.

Iam very week on Andrew history I only know what I know from Rev John
Cranston v.of Aghabog  records Trinity college. And the Arch Decan records.
Can you help me.?
Thank you

Rose,
Methodism took a lot longer to become established in Ireland as a separate denomination than in England. In Ireland there was considerable resistance to separating from the Church of Ireland. It was 1815 before Methodists started to conduct their own baptisms. Because of continuing loyalty and other factors, many continued to use the Church of Ireland for baptisms for years after this and it was 1871 before all Methodists routinely performed their own.
 

For Methodist marriages, the earliest that I am aware of, date from 1835 (Belfast Donegall Square, the first Methodist church in Ireland). However in the mid 1800s there were only a few Methodist Ministers (Methodism relied heavily on lay preachers). So that shortage led to the continuing practice of marrying in the Church of Ireland. In addition, in the early years, many Methodist Meeting Houses were not licensed for marriages so that too contributed to couples marrying in the Church of Ireland.

So to summarise, you are unlikely to find many Methodist baptisms before 1820. Few marriages before the 1840s and only a handful for many years after that. If there are no Methodist records in the location you are researching, I would search Church of Ireland records instead, as that’s the most likely place to find the relevant event.

 
Not many Methodist Meeting Houses have graveyards and so they may be buried in public or Church of Ireland graveyards (which are open to all denominations).
