  Family	Robert Moore Fishbourne,   b. 1765, Carlow, Ireland d. 16 Feb 1828, Cullenswood, Dublin, Ireland (Age 63 years)  [1, 2]
  Marriage	Jul 1792	St Thomas, Dublin, Ireland   [1]
  Notes	This marriage is reported in Walkers Hibernian Magazine, July 1796, p.96. Robert Moore Fishbourne is shown as "Of Moorefield". The marriage is also listed in the IGI without source, for June 29 1792, at St Thomas Dublin, is the subject of a marriage settlement dated 28 June 1792, (291392)and is listed in the Marriage Licence Index for Dublin Diocese. The signatories to the settlement include William Semple, carpenter, and John Semple, bricklayer, the latter probably Lydia's brother. There is no indication that either is Lydia's father. The register of St. Thomas Dublin, 1750-1791 ed. R. Refausse, records the baptisms of Lydia (1766) and her brothers and sisters, the children of John and Lydia Semple. While John's baptism appears in 1763, no William is shown in this immediate family. This suggests that the William Semple in the marriage settlement is either an older brother born and baptised elsewhere, or he may have been a cousin or other relative. The register records the marriage at St Thomas in 1787 of a William Semple and a Mary Ann Darling. The introduction to the printed transcript of the register describes the newly created parish of St Thomas, formed from a part of St Mary's parish. The editor goes on to name some of the well known families in the parish, including "Leading...tradesmen...[such as] the Semple and Darley families, who as bricklayers, builders and architects made such an important contribution to the buildings of Dublin" [p.9] [1]
