Marion,
It was quite common for Presbyterians to marry in a private house. Usually the bride's home, or the Manse (the Minister's House) and sometimes a local hotel, especially in Scotland (where Presbyterianism started). Church weddings are a comparatively recent thing for Presbyterians. Mid 1800s onwards.

Many thanks Len for this information and all the work you do. I was intrigued to see a Nathaniel Rodgers of Tierkeren marrying in 1845 in Castlefin. One of the branches of my family were Rodgers at Tierkeren, the earliest known name I have is Andrew Rodgers, who is a tenant there at the time of Griffiths but was there before this according to records for Ballindrait Presbyterian Church. Nathaniel is a new name to me, perhaps a brother to Andrew. If anyone knows anything about this family I would be very interested. I am also intrigued by the fact that the marriage took place in someone's house.Thanks again Marion Shephard

What about Methodists (as well as Presbyterians) when it comes to burials? Did they still get buried in consecrated ground, even if there was not a meeting place with a graveyard? I have had trouble finding death records for some Methodists in Fermanagh during the famine and wondered if they were buried in COI cemeteries or somewhere else.
Thanks
Roger

Since Reformation times, every long-standing family within a parish had an allocated burial plot in the parish graveyard (usually attached to the Church of Ireland), although Catholics, at times, utilised burial grounds attached to historic sites (perhaps an old monastery).
However, Catholics and Dissenters (Presbyterians) burials were not be recorded in the Church of Ireland burial register.

Thanks Elwyn, I did wonder about this. When were Presbyterian marriages first allowed in chapels/churches ? Do you know how the legal status of the marriages were established before civil registration began. I have seen records of marriages in Ballindrait Presbyterian Church before this - would these have taken place in the church or elsewhere? Sorry for all the questions !Regards MarionSent from my Galaxy
