McGovern, Lisnaskea, Co Fermanagh

spestph — 2009-07-03 21:39:56Z

I am trying to find out more about my grandmother's family and their origins. My grandmother, Josephine McGovern was born in Lisnaskea, Co Fermanagh, in 1901. She had a sister, Monica (Mona). As far as I know, my grandmother's parents ran a pub in the town and her mother's maiden name was Dunn (or perhaps Dunne). My grandmother went up to Dublin to study medicine at UCD in the 20s (one of the first women to be allowed to do so, we unerstand) and there met my grandfather, Charles Kelly, from Killygordon, East Donegal. They moved to Liverpool, England and settled there, practising as GPs and bringing up six children - all of whom were evacuated back to Ireland during the war. The family seems to know very little more than this and I'd love to find a thread that might lead me back in time a little. Any and all help appreciated.

Re: Humphries/Humphreys Irvinestown/Lowtherstown Fermanagh

apeiron1 — 2009-07-01 22:09:57Z

Sorry for the lengthy delay. According to Trimble, History of Enniskillen, the Humphrys are indeed descended from Thomas Humphrys of Holbrook, Suffolk, second son of Charles Humphrys of Rishangles, Suffolk. I do not have any other information to confirm this.

Re: STINSON FAMILY

robste1 — 2009-06-26 18:00:14Z

Hi,

I wonder if the stinson family I am descended from are the ones that you are looking for?

My great great grandfather was John Stinson Jr from the townland of Agho in County Fermanagh. He was married to Margaret McLean and had children Edward, Mary Ann, Susan, Margaret, Isabelle, Jennie, Nellie, Kate, Fan, Elizabeth and Catherine.

It is my understanding that Jennie Stinson married into the Parker family, but eventually remarried as Frazer. I regret that I don't have dates or palces - but I know that she had the following children. Bob Parker, Will Parker, Elizabeth Parker, Albert Parker, Fanny Parker, Margaret Parker, Fred Parker, Mary Jane frazer, wallace frazer, and Dora Frazer.

Of those children, Fred Parker married back into another line of the stinson family, marrying Emily Stinson. He remained in Ireland until his death.

What makes life a little confusing is that the farm on which Jennie Stinson was raised, in Agho, was split into two. Joseph Stinson, a cousin of Jennie's father, also farmed at agho and he had a large number of siblings too. These were James, Annie, Bamford, Charlie, Edmond, Emily, harriet, Jospeh, Lilly, Rebecca, Reginald, William and Letitia Stinson.

Quite a gang, that includes most of the given names you mentioned.

If I can be of any further help, please dont hesitate to drop me an email. robert_e_stephenson@hotmail.com

Faucett/Fisher

J_Jacka — 2009-06-24 14:07:06Z

Am seeking information on James Faucett and Frances Fisher Faucett. According to information available they left County Fermanagh about 1840 for the United States. James would be my great grandfather.

Andrew and Isabella Coulter

jey1jey1 — 2009-06-22 20:48:22Z

My husband's ggggranmother, Isabella Coulter, 60, emigrated from Fermanagh in 1847 on the Swatara for Port of Philadelphia along with her sons, Andrew 27 and James 35 and 2 children Alexander and Mary who I imagine where James's children.
In the Church of England Marriage License Bonds - Clogher I find an Andrew Coulter and Isabella Coulter marrying in 1806.
I would like to find more information on this couple. I would like to find out if this Isabella is indeed the same Isabella who emigrated to Philadelphia possibly after the death of her husband, Andrew. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Cemeteries around Knockninny

johal52 — 2009-06-20 15:49:47Z

Can anyone tell me whether there are cemeteries in Knockninny with records that would date back to the mid 1800s? My great grandparents, John Reilly and Mary Gilleece, were married in the RC Church of Knockninny in 1882. John was from Drumrush and Mary was from Aughyoule/Aghyoule/. I am going to Northern Ireland end July and would love to see the church if it's still there.

Re: Drumrush, Drumroosk, Aughyoule?

johal52 — 2009-06-20 14:44:41Z

Thanks for your reply! I had a genealogist do some research on my family. Although he couldn't definitely find my great grandmother, Mary Ellen Gilleece, he thought she came from a family in Aghyoule where the mother's name was Anne, father's name was James.
My great grandparents, Ellen and John Reilly, were married in Knockninny, Derrylin, Lisnaskea in 1882. The witnesses were John Brady and Kate Gilleece.
I'm planning to go over to Derrylin in early August to at least see the area where they lived.

Re: Drumrush, Drumroosk, Aughyoule?

bridgetlenane — 2009-06-19 22:45:25Z

Drumroosk and Aughyoule are reasonably close to each other'Drumroosk is in Kinawley parish in County Fermanagh Aughyoule is now in Teemore Parish I think but it used to be in Kinawley parish.Reilly would be a name you would find inAughyoule .Try Kinawley or derrylin/Teemore parish records.My mother was Gilleece from Kinawley parish.

Irvinestown Burial

frankmcgurrin — 2009-06-16 12:38:52Z

On a recent trip to Trillick I found, with help, the grave of some of my gr grandparents children in Maugheralough cemetry. It stated on the gravestone that my gr grandparents were buried in Irvinestown. Their names on the gravestone were given as John & Alice Mc Gurren although my gr grandfather was baptised and married as James. The dates I have for their death's are: James - 10 March 1900 and Alice - 28 Feb 1882. I did not have time on that trip to visit Irvinestown. I have since searched the very helpful County Fermanagh Gen web site which lists graves in the cemetries of Tower, Drumully, Derrygonnelly and Ardess. I have also tried other means of locating the grave(s) to no avail. I am out of ideas as to how to take this forward and any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi coyote 2001,

Just to verify, your great grandfather William Payne was born in 1824?

Griffiths Valuation was a property valuation done to assess taxes in Ireland between 1848 and 1864 and lists property occupiers. There is a William Payne listed there in Tyrrellspass, Co. Westmeath.

McManus from County Fermanagh to Canada to Michigan

tneville — 2009-04-10 04:01:13Z

Terence McManus born 1800 in County Fermanagh Ireland emigrated to Canada about 1826 with son, Timothy Thaddeus (Tady) McManus and his second wife, Mary Margaret McCaffrey. Tady's mother is listed as Rosy Dolan. Other children: Patrick Joseph,Sarah (O'Conner), Elizabeth (Ganon), Denis John, Michael James, and Mary Ann (McDonnell or McDonald) were born outside Ottawa, Ontario. Terence and Margaret died in Pakenham, Ontario and are buried there. Tady was married to Mary Ann Murphy Farrell. Tady's son, Thomas James McManus, my grandfather, emigratd to Michigan along with his sister, Mary Bridget McManus Fitzgerald. Just wondered if there could be any connection.

Re: Leonards of Fermanagh, Enniskillen

ronniebeee — 2009-05-03 14:02:57Z

Greetings, I really don't have much on the Flemings but here is what I am positive of. Five Leonard brothers Imigrated to Marmora, Hastings county, Ontario bet. 1840 to 1850. There were also many other immigrants from Fermanagh county who settled in that area. One of the brothers named Henry continued on and settled in Kalamazoo, Michigan. I was in touch whith his decendants who were still in that neck of the woods as of ten years ago. The mother of these five brothers was named Isabella Fleming, she and her husband James Leonard stayed in Ireland with the balance of there family. I know this because my grandfather told me that he visited with his first cousins in Enniskillen when he was stationed in England during the First World war with the Canadian army. Many of the sons of these five brothers had the middle name of Fleming (middle name of the grandmother)which is a tradional in Irish naming patterns.
It seems to me that there probably is a link between Isabella's and your husbands family. I wish you good luck on your trip and if you should happen upon a James Leonard or Isabella Flemings tombstone please take note. the dates would probaly be birth very early eighteenhundreds and deaths after eighteensixties......e-mail me at ronniebeee@roadrunner.com......Sincerely Ron Babcock

Anywhere I can get this info online, Ancestry.ca doesn't offer much in the way of Irish research.

Yes, that looks like the family. Wow, thats wonderful.

Re: Hetherington & Wiley Families

kateebair — 2009-06-11 00:52:33Z

I have a Jane Hetherington who married Hugh Wiley. I know they had at least 3 children, Margaret c1842, Eliza Ann c1846 and Thomas c1846. Eliza's headstone says she's from Co Monaghan. A ref to her in the State Library of Western Australia says she was from Coen which I have found out to be the townland Coaghen in the Parish of Killeevan, Co Monaghan. It looks to be close to Smithborough on a map.
I'm wondering if your Hetherington and Wiley marriage are a coincidence or if they're the same families intermarrying?

Re: Wiggin(s) in Fermanagh

bjhdch — 2009-05-02 23:22:44Z

I won't swear to it but I seem to remember something spelled like that or very similar as I was looking at Scotland censuses. Or maybe I just remember seeing something that said it was derived from McQuiggan. I will see if I have any census pages with that name on them and will let you know if I do but I know I don't have anything back into the 1600s.

I was able to visit Ireland for 3 weeks in October 2007 and found the marriage license in the church records which confirmed their marriage. I also found the date she ws buried in the records. I was unable to find her grave at the church, however, so I don't know where she was actually buried. We also found the birth/christening records for the two oldest sons of William and Margaret but not for Simon who is my direct line. It was really exciting to be there in the church they attended all those years ago! Of course, it has been remodeled over the years but it still put chills when thinking about them having been there at one time.

Re: Leonards of Fermanagh, Enniskillen

roguzden — 2009-04-29 00:04:28Z

Hello -
My husband's gr-gr-grandfather was Jeremiah Fleming of Enniskillen. We are traveling to Enniskillen in 4 weeks (May 26-June 2) and we would love to find Fleming information in the Enniskillen area.

We know very little about where Jeremiah was from in or near Enniskillen. We do know that he came to Ontario, Canada with his parents as a young boy (about 10 yrs old) in approximately 1870. He as born in May 1959 and we believe his parents were John and Catherine Fleming. Does this ring a bell?

Jeremiah Fleming's grandson(my husband's grandfather) settled in the Kalamazoo, Michigan area and currently lives in Big Rapids, Michigan.

Maybe there is a link? Any information that you might have of Enniskillen Fleming's would be greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,
Denise

Looks like it is these two couples below Mary has mixed up,you will notice one had a child 12 Nov 1870 and the other 27 Sep 1870 so it would rule out it being William's second marriage.

Hi
As far as Lisbellaw it is located in Fermanagh to the south east of Enniskillen.

In ref to towns and townlands it can get VERY confusing, esp if you put Parishes in there too. lol

I may be somewhat wrong but it was explained to me....a city was an area that had a few streets with shops, homes etc in it. Usually it was catoragized as a city "if" it had 2 church steeples.
A town was just a street with shops etc on it and homes around it.

A townland was a much larger area that included fields, etc.

Hope that helps a bit....

Re: Tempo area, County Fermanagh

Hi,
My ancestors are from Tempo. James Mills married Elicabeth Foster 1878 in Tempo Parish Church (I have a picture. They are both buried there along with two of their daughters. Their son, my grandfather moved to western Canada. There isn't much on Tempo, I'm guessing because it is a small town but I would like to know if the Primary School they would have attended has any records, and how one would determine where on Main Street they lived. In the 1901 Census, I have their home at 27 Main Street, Tempo.

Looking for Cherills Pass, Ireland. Is there such a place?

coyote2001 — 2009-03-01 19:58:55Z

My grandmother wrote that her father, William Payne was born in Cherills Pass in Northern Ireland near Cuniskillas. She spelled this phonetically and therefore I am sure they are off. Cuniskillas also looks like it could be Enniskillan. Have you heard of Cherills Pass or anything close to this? He was born there around 1824.

John Gunne

glenncampbell991 — 2009-03-13 15:46:24Z

My great grandfather was John Gunne born 1852 somewhere in Ireland and died in Portsmouth 1920. His daugher Mary Jane Gunne (1875 - 1955) married my grandfather James Henry Brown whilst he was in the army in Dublin. On his army papers it states that Mary was born in Ballymena (because she was married in Dublin I had assumed she was born there). I know Mary had 3 or 4 brothers and they were connected to a racecourse in Ireland as trainers and jockies. I believe they also visited Northampton for some reason on a regular basis. John Gunne was also connected with horses and was a coachman.

I would love to find the other children and their descendants.

Thanks for this - it may help me when I get the parents of Thomas. Do you know for certain that all the Humphries in Fermanagh (at least up to late 1800s) descended from Thomas Humphrys of Holbrook?

Re: Humphries/Humphreys Irvinestown/Lowtherstown Fermanagh

isabellegarrett — 2009-02-26 19:09:18Z

Hi - I am sorry that I haven't been much help. I have found out since I originally posted that my great-grandfather William Humphries (born 1879 in Irvinestown)had a father called Thomas (I think and a farmer), an older brother John (emigrated States), younger brother George (emigrated Toronto), younger sister Lilian (emigrated NZ - married name Murray), younger sister Sarah/Sally (emigrated Canada married name Wyckham), and youngest Margaret.

I am guessing if you don't have a Thomas Humphries born around 1850-1860 in Irvinestown area it isn't going to be much good to you!

Re: Looking for Cherills Pass, Ireland. Is there such a place?

Brent_Coskery — 2009-03-02 19:09:00Z

Hi,

I am not related just trying to help.
Assuming you are correct that "Cuniskillas" somehow refers to Enniskillen we can deduce the following:

Enniskillen is in County Fermanagh and is part of the six Counties that make up Northern Ireland.

There are various parish names Fermanagh
"Cherills Pass" could be the name of a Parish such as
Cleenish or Killesher.

There are also Baronies, and Townlands

Enniskillen is a townland or Town
Lisnaskea is also a townland or Town which is another possibility "Cuniskillas"

For more information Google County Fermanagh Parishes
Payne Families of Fermanagh

Hope this helps.

mda05rmh — 2009-02-17 19:22:23Z

On a separate note I am researching my granfather Hugh Gerald Kelly's family tree. Hugh was born in Mullaghdun, Cleenish in 1918. He was born to James Kelly and a Mary Anne McGurty. He is buried at St Joseph's Roman Catholic Church, Mullaghdun - along with his parents, having died in 1997.

James Kelly I know went over to America, and was mysteriously involved in some sort of accident, recieved financial compensation wherein he returned back to Fermanagh a rich man. i dont believe the wealth lasted, since he fathered 14 children. But he did buy the townland Carrickabweehan, which he then built a house.

If anyone has any insight into this, please get back to me!!

I have never been there so I'm excited. A group of approximately 25-30 people from the IA Genealogical Society are going so there will be plenty of people to help me figure out what to do and where to go at the Family History Library. I didn't have any help when I was in Ireland so I ended up wasting a lot of time.

I'm already putting together a list of family members that I want to research while I'm there. I plan to spend one day on each line of my family but I have a feeling that the plan will be off track before the first day is over.

Re: Wiggin(s) in Fermanagh

bjhdch — 2009-02-18 16:15:51Z

I am also researching this line but haven't done much lately due to back problems that resulted in surgery in December. However, I will be going to Salt Lake City, UT, mid-April and plan to do more research then.

I was able to confirm that Margaret Wiggins, daughter of James wiggins, married William Ferguson in 1828 when we visited Ireland in October 2007. We found the church that they attended and found her date of death even so the trip was very worthwhile. We talked with a researcher from Co. Monaghan that was able to tell me a lot of information about the Fergusons but at that time, I didn't know the Wiggins connection for sure so didn't ask too much about them. I'm looking at the late 1700s now trying to trace them back to their original area which was probably Scotland.

Anyway, I don't understand what you meant about the patent; was this something to do with the land that they settled on or something else? I know that most of the landowners came from England so that was my first thought.

Their son Patrick born about 1832 in Fermanagh Ireland is my great great great great grandfather. He married Jane Ford in Goulburn NSW Australia on the 10th of August 1855. They had about 11 children.

I don't know much about Robert and Rosanna so if you have come up with any information in the past year I would love to hear about it.

Hi Una
Thanks very much for contacting me. I would be delighted to receive any information you think appropriate. It might be helpful if I explained my interest:
James McGurren (b abt 1837 in Cabragh)was my g grandfather. He married Alice Campbell (b 1853) married on 28 February 1882 in Magheralough RC Chapel, Trillick, Co. Fermanagh. Their children were, John McGurren (1883 – 1959), Susan McGurren (b 1884), Mary Ann McGurren (b 1885), Henry McGurren (1886 – 1971), Sarah Jane McGurren (b 1889), Francis McGurren-my grandfather- (1890 – 1945), Celia McGurren (1892 – 1929) and Catherine “Kathleen” McGurren (1895 – 1947).

On their birth records John, Susan, Mary, Henry and Sarah Jane had their surname spelled McGurn. Francis, Celia and Catherine’s surname was spelled McGurren. On his marriage record James had his surname spelled Magurren and on the 1901 census Alice and all the children are listed as McGurren, James is not present. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Drumrush, Drumroosk, Aughyoule?

johal52 — 2009-03-24 14:57:09Z

I am looking for information about these two areas of Fermanagh/Cavan. My grandmother's (Mary Cate Reilly) birth record indicates she was born in "Drumrush" and that her father (John Reilly) came from there whilst her mother, Mary Gilleece, came from Aughyoule. I have recently heard on another list--unfortunately, it was an old thread--that it is actually Drumroosk that is close to Aughyoule.
I will be going over to Ireland this summer to do more poking around. My last trip yielded little results in Belturbet, where the family ultimately ended up. So I am hoping to visit these other two areas but, before I do, it would be lovely if I knew where I was heading :)

Hi Suzanne,
Thanks for your reply. Can you give me some details (dates, places) that might help connect the dots. My own ancestor was Dorothy Humphries, who married Hugh Keys of Coolaness, near Irvinestown in Fermanagh. The date of the marriage was probably around 1764.

Thanks,
Roy

Re: Humphries/Humphreys Irvinestown/Lowtherstown Fermanagh

apeiron1 — 2009-02-26 19:32:32Z

Hi Isabelle,

Since all the Humphries in Fermanagh are (or were) related to one another (descended from Thomas Humphrys of Holbrook, Suffolk, son of Charles Humphrys of Rishangles, Suffolk), the question is really how we are related. Unfortunately I have not researched the later line of Humphries, although I do know that my ancestor Royal writes in the 1830s about his uncles Christopher and William Humphreys. Royal's mother must therefore be Dorothy Humphreys born 1748 in Drumard, daughter of Christopher Humphreys (1715-1805) and Maria Beatty (1720-1802). Dorothy was buried 25 Jan 1824.
(IGI has Christopher Humphreys Jr. born 1749 buried 11 Sep 1823; William Humphreys born 1751 buried 5 Jul 1834: perhaps not these)

Cheers,

Roy

Re: Wiggin(s) in Fermanagh

ShadowEchoMe1982 — 2009-02-18 18:00:40Z

this is my third attempt at a reply...they keep vanishing so this site has a problem somewhere!

Sir William Cole, settled in Fermanagh in 1607 and his family were from Devon apparently. He died in 1653. A descendant, John cole later became Lord Enniskillen and his father was Sir Michael Cole.

Cole had the Barony "Magerbuy" in 1631 where both William Wiggin and a Richard Whiting (another surname of interest to me) were located. You also find the surname (aka: Wiggain, Wiggins) in Enniskillen Muster Roll. There's also a Thomas Wiggin in Magherboy 1630 Muster Roll along with an Alexander Wiggin. In Barony de Tyrkenedy (also Sir William Cole's servant) is Andrew Wiggan. In Barony de Lourgg is another surname of interest to me, Barefoote (William and Thomas).

Church-Hill is where Thomas Wiggin is listed.

I've been looking for the roots of these men. With them all under Sir William Cole who had ties to Devon and area I figured they may all have come with him to settle there.

There's a huge history called "English and Scottish Planters" found on www.bbc.co.uk that's of interest. There's also a lot of data in "The Ulster Plantation" history found at many sources.

The Wiggin men always show up as "servants" of Cole and never in having land of their own (grants).

Re: Wiggin(s) in Fermanagh

ShadowEchoMe1982 — 2009-02-18 15:34:43Z

No problem. I'm pleased to see someone is doing some research on this line. I have a feeling this family came to the area with the man who had the patent. I seem to recall (as you can see by the dates on these postings it has been awhile and my memory may be challenged here !) he was from the south west of England.

Re: Wiggin(s) in Fermanagh

ShadowEchoMe1982 — 2009-02-18 15:19:56Z

Unfortunately it's about 200 years down the line. I need the family back in the early 17th C....when colonization was going on. I'm wondering where the WIGGIN clan originated...England or Scotland. They were likely settling the area about 1610-1620.

Re: Armstrong family

I too am searching for information on the Armstrong name.
My Great-Grandmother's Frances Victoria Armstrong born July 12, 1888 in Medicine Hat, AB, was one of 11 children. Her parents were James Arthur Armstrong, born Oct. 14, 1855 in Belleville, Ontario, Canada. His wife was Annie Webb born Nov. 10, 1860 in Bude, Cornwall, England.
James father's name was William Wiggins Armstrong and his wife was Ann Jane Bonar.
If anyone has any info. to share it would be greatly appreciated.

Am wondering if this is the other distant relations to which you were referring to. Do you have any information on them at all? I do know that William's father's name was Arthur Armstrong.

Re: Armstrong: Shelland Suffolk

parmstrong162 — 2009-02-18 08:24:42Z

Since I wrote that piece I have become more certain that the "distant" relations were not really distant - it's simply that present family members didn't know they were related.
At present I have this:
Thomas Armstrong born approx 1756 marries Elizabeth Wakelin 1778 in Shelland, Suffolk and his descendants continue to live in the same tiny village, and those around, for 250 years until the present day - although there are none actually in Shelland now they are nearby.
Thomas senior has Elizabeth 1778, Jane 1789, Ann 1780, Thomas 1782, Henry 1783 and William 1790 (baptised 1792)

Elizabeth had an illegit. son James 1799 from whom my present family descends. He still lived with his grandfather Thomas in 1841 (census). He marries Elizabeth Edwards and has at least 9 children including George 1819 who is my ancestor.

Another son of James is William 1813 who appears to be father of Charles 1853 who is father of the three children I mentioned who died of diptheria in the next village (Harleston) in 1891.

I am not aware of an Irish connection in the family - at some time they probably came from the Scottish borders, but they don't seem to have been great travellers since. (their main activity is marrying people called Elizabeth and having daughters called Elizabeth - very confusing!)

Sorry this is probably no help.

I will speak to my mom Wed and get our genealogy records(she is in a nursing home now).I have asked my brother for a year but he finally got them now. Who knows we may be linked

what is the DNA project?.......I have 2 uncles(Brandons 1/2 breed of the linage), and 4 nephews 1/4 of the lineage Brandon),
all else are deceased,,,,,,,John Brandon(dates? from Ireland, Fermanagh,Kesh,son Andrew B,his son Martin William B, his 3 sons ..Max, Goulais, Andrew,Johnson,, ..all buried in the Fenelon Falls, Ontario Cementary (non Catholic one)

Please tell me more about DNA project
I would advise all researcher families to take current DNA samples of their parents, themselves, children and grandchildren now and put them away....hair with the root, blood samples, toenail clippings, blood samples,...
there will be a day soon that DNA testing will be a cheap and all families will be traced for lineage as well as diseases and gene corrections.....I started putting mine away and my family members

Soopy464 — 2008-09-27 12:39:56Z

Hi Ken
Well it has been 2 yrs since I posted the "sue" info. I do not know if we have spoken since.....

First in ref to first post. My Jane Montgomery was b 1774 on "Inishmore Isle", co Fermanagh. Her father was James Montgomery of Inishmore. She married William Armstrong b 1764 in Dryfesdale Scotland, and they had up to 18 children- of which I now have info on 9-10 of them (all born on Inishmore , mostly in Drummee).

Ken...That is my family you are speaking of. Elizabeth Copeland was the sister of my gg grandfather Hush Copeland who married Nicholina Armstrong, one of William Armstrong and Jane Montgomery's children. William Copeland Bracken ( the son of Hugh Bracken and Elizabeth Copeland) married Jane Armstrong (Nicholina's sister) . Confusing huh? lol

I assume you from the Bracken line? I am in contact with a cousin in Dublin who is from this line (above).I think we may have spoken since the days of these posts...I just wanted to post here with correct and further info in case anyone is searching these lines and wishes to contact me.

Hi
I know it has been a few years since you posted BUT you mention Drummee. Drummee is located on the Island of Inishmore (Innismore/Ennismore) in Co Fermanagh, Northern Ireland. It is an island surrounded by the upper Lough Erne, which is water that covers a part of Co Fermanagh. It is east of Enniskillen.It is south west of Lisbellaw. My family of Armstrong lived there. As did my Montgomery.I believe it is in the Parish of Derrybrusk.

I just thought you might be interested in this info.

Humphreys / Humphrys in Derryvullen

humph19 — 2008-06-15 12:58:44Z

Hello,

I am searching for some conformation of a suspected connection to the Derryvullen area. My 2nd great grandfather Robert Humphrey(s)was born in Feb. 1822 in Ireland. His son Alexander (born 1849 in Philadelphia, PA) had the middle name Royal. I have found in the IGI a Robert Humphrys, son of Royal and Margaret Gunney, who was Christened March 3, 1822 in Irvinestown, Derryvullen. This seems to fit, but what means of confirmation are in existance? Any suggestions are welcome.

Thank You

Re: PURSLEY

FrelighGenealogy — 2008-12-08 05:16:21Z

Hello.

Are you the same person who posted information in the Online Tree about Cedrith JOHNSON (dau Harry JOHNSON and Margaret PURSLEY), who married William JOHNSON? In the tree notes, the post-er mentioned speaking with Lillian (WIERSEMA) Fisher, my mother:
http://awtc.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=*v20t...

(Btw, if it was you, you spelled her name with only one "L" where there should be two in a row-- "LiLLian", and the town name "BensEnville" wrong. It has an "e" and no "o".)

My mother was a long-time friend of Cedrith's, and I now have LOTS of VERY old photos, of both Cedrith AND HER ANCESTORS. One of them is wearing complete Scottish regalia. I have no idea who most of the people are.

Since Cedrith had no children, and I know of no relatives, I would be very interested in getting these photos to a family member who could appreciate them.

Please respond ASAP, even if you are not a relative.

Thank you.

Matilda came to the US and eventually settled in Barron County, Wisconsin, with my gg grandfather John M Johnson (I do not have additional information on him, other than his birth date July 1854, Sweden and death date, 1897 Barron Cty, WI.

After John's death, she married a man named Carl Germanson (about 14 years younger than she was).

Gardner from Ennidskillen

thecheethams — 2008-05-08 21:58:24Z

I'm looking for more information in Fermanagh for a family that immigrated to Australia in 1842 on the ship "Broom" to Australia.

Alexander Gardner (b. abt 1813 - 1817) and his wife Mary Anne Symington (b. abt 1815) with their children Christopher James b. 1836, Fermanagh, and Johanna b. 1842 at sea, settled in Manilla, New South Wales, Australia.

The Broom ship passenger documentation has Mary Anne Symington from Ennidskillen, Fermanagh as well as her husband Alexander Gardner.

Alexander's parents are listed as James and Mary Gardner. Mary Anne's parents are listed as George Symington and Elizabeth Gardner.

I'm wondering if there might be a marriage record for them or their parents in Fermanagh. Or a birth record for Christopher James or anything else that might help with the search for their ancestors in Fermanagh.

Thank you

Re: Gardner family

It's been a really long time since you posted this, but there is a possible connection with the Gardner family I am researching. Alexander Gardner with his wife Mary Anne Symington and two children also traveled on the Broom in 1842 to Australia.

Jane Quinn, born Belleek (?) about 1842

nigel1308 — 2008-10-19 00:03:30Z

I'm looking for information on my Gt Gt Grandmother Jane Quinn. On her marriage certificate, in England in 1866, she gives her age as 24 (so born about 1842), and her father as Patrick Quin, policeman, deceased.
On census between 1871 and 1901 she gives her place of birth variously as Ireland; Ireland, Fermanagh; and Ireland, Billick.

There doesn't seem to be a 'Billick' in Ireland, so I'm guessing that should be Belleek, as the most likely place in Fermanagh.

Can anyone tell me if parish records for that period can be viewed anywhere? I'm hoping to visit Ireland early next year.

Hi Joan,
I just saw your message on George Mills. Joan, I don't know if we are connected as my Gr. Grandfather's name was James Mills, unknown where born in Ireland. He was a government employee. His son James Mills II born 1853 in Dublin (could be where his Mother was from as the wive's often went home to their mothers to have their "first" children at least). Later, James II moved to Tempo Town, Fermanagh where he was a merchant. He married Elizabeth Foster and had six children: William John Mills, Elizabeth Annie Mills (Gibson), James Alexander Mills, Wilfred George Mills (who is my grandfather); Harriett Ethel Mills (Johnston) and Emily Florence Mills (spinster). Above were born in Tempo town between 1879 and 1896. Wilfred George Mills married Eliza Snoddy and they moved to Nelson, BC in 1919, where their only son, George Foster Mills (my father) was born.
I currently live in Kelowna. I know that James A. Mills, came to Canada and served in WW11 and settled in Burnaby.
Let me know if this rings any bells for you.

Sincerely,
Pat (Mills) d'Easum

Jenkinsons from Lisnaskea, County Fermanagh

I am seeking anyone researching or any info on my GG Grandparents George and Jane Jenkinson who lived in the Lisnaskea area in the 1860s,70s,80s. They married in Tempo COI on the 27th Sept 1867 and Janes maiden name was Scales, George was a baker by trade and they had 9 children three of whom including my Great Grandfather Edward I know served in the army during WW1.

They ended up in Lurgan County Armagh sometime around 1900 or earlier and after George died Jane emigrated to Philadelphia in 1907 along with two of her sons Robert and Harry. Robert and Harry did have families so there descendants should still be in the US.

I don't have info on the parents, but I found a marriage record for John Graham b. abt 1839 in Ontario, Canada. Parents are listed as "Beatty Graham" and "Ann McShea". This John Graham married Anabella Greer.

Were you aware of a brother to Margaret and Catherine?

He married Mary Funston in Derryvullan, Ireland in 1823 I was told by Denny Chittick @chittick.com. Just looking for any connection.

This one shows Stewart Chittick as relative. It's down about half way through articles.
How should I send you that pic for chittick in front of this general store?
I'm so excited that we can possible combine lines. I'm wondering if John Chittick born 1797 how married Mary Funston is a child of Guy's or maybe John's father and Guy's father are brothers. What else I'm puzzled about is John Chittick's son Christopher Chittick my gggrandfather wasn't in the 1852 census w/his parents. I believe he was in a neighboring farm by another Chittick relative.

Hi: I don't think the John and Mary Catharine you have are related to mine. In fact, as I type I am sitting in a hotel in Dublin, Ireland and have just finished a 10 day tour of Ireland. I have been able to trace my John and Catharine to county Fermanagh in Northern Ireland in and around Enniskillen, Ireland. Don't remember if mentioned it, but my problem is that every generation named a child John or Catharine, so I keep running into a gazillion of them. I know that my John was born in 1811 and Catharine in 1822. It doesn't seem there is a connection but who knows. If I can help with any of the info I have, please keep in touch.

I'm researching my family tree, and I'm seeking information on the relatives or descendants of Henry Kennedy (born between 1810 and 1830) and Ann Montgomery (born between 1820 and 1830). They were both born in Ireland, and there's a bit of a mystery about where.
They had 5 children: John (born about February 1853); William (born about February 18, 1855), Robert (born about 1855); James Henry (born about 1862); and Margaret (born about 1872). Their children were born in either Ireland or Ontario, Canada.
I'm not sure about the date of emigration to Canada.
I would be happy to share information on the Canadian branch of the tree.

Robert George Wiggins of Newtown Butler

jeanetteseaborn — 2008-11-16 00:43:36Z

I'm researching my family tree, and I'm looking for information on the family of Robert George Wiggins (born between 1807 and 1814 in Newtown Butler; and died September 22, 1886 in Rawdon Township, Hastings County, Ontario, Canada). Robert George was the son of James Wiggins (born between 1774 and 1794) and Margaret Wade (born between 1774 and 1796). Robert's known siblings are Jane and Margaret (nothing more is known about either of them).
He married Catharine Downey (born between 1812 and 1814 in Clonisor Ballough; and died February 20, 1875 in Rawdon Township, Hastings County, Ontario, Canada) on April 10, 1840. They emigrated to Canada aboard the barque Ann Hall in 1842.
Robert George and Catharine had a daughter in Ireland, Mary Ann (born about 1841, and died about July 10, 1842 at sea). Their eldest son, John Franklin Wiggins, was born aboard ship on August 24, 1842 and died on January 16, 1929 in Marmora & Lake Township, Hastings County, Ontario, Canada).
I'd appreciate any information, and would be happy to share information about the Canadian branch of the family.

Re: mcCollum

The Robert from my John actually moved to Glasgow in the 1860s and was buried there around 1895.

What I was hoping to find was someone next to (sibling, cousin?) to or above (parent, grandparet) my Robert or John. It sounds very possible because of the proximity of the family in Fermanagh and the similarity in family names.

Shall we chat?

Re: mcCollum

I have been researching my McCollum ancestors who lived in the Lisboy-Cleffany-Rafintan area of Fermanagh around the same time as the John McCollum you mentioned and wondered if there was a connection - uncle perhaps? (based on naming patterns) I have a John McCollum who was a stone mason who married Elizabeth Emily ? and had a son, Robert, born around 1840.

Thank you for sending me your file on McDowell's. David Creighton Mcdowell a great uncle of mine, born in Newtownbutler was named after a relative Col. Creighton defender of Crom Castle a few miles away. These Mcdowell's were in the Methodist Ministry and David C.McDowell's dad Samuel was enrolled at Trinity College. These McDowell's came to Quebec Canada 1830's and two of Samuel McDowell's boys, David Creighton and Henry McDowell became Methodist Ministers in Ontario Canada. Rev. Henry married Sarah Kerr, daughter of George Kerr of Inneskillen. Georges wife was Catherine Corry. A third brother to these Ministers was Samuel Franklin McDowell married Mary Harriett Pattyson daughter of Rev. William Pattyson from Aughnacloy near Brookborough. I am reading Crom Castle History books for an idea of the Mcdowell's movements. Thanks again. Peter

I found an Alexander McSorley b. 1791 there. But no marriage. Father or grandfather? The name Catharine is not very well known in Ireland at that time.
Our Catharine married Henry William Field also from Ireland,in Melbourne,Australia in 1851. I cannot find a death for her, in other records she is known as Kate Rogers? m to Henry.

Robinsons of Enniskillen

joprout — 2008-10-14 19:09:49Z

Hi there,

This is a bit of a stab in the dark, but it may sound familiar to someone!

My great grandfather was John Robinson, born around 1880 and I know that he was in the Inniskillen Fusiliers.

He married Edna Martha Bailey in around 1900 and they had either 3 or 6 children, the notes are unclear.
(this is transcribed from my fathers notes, which are tricky to read!!!)
John
Kathleen(Known as Kitty, my grandmother)married Baron Prout. Lived in Brighton, England.
June? married a Maurice Medder?

(This is where the notes are unclear, so I'm not sure if the following are children of John and Edna, or children of June and Maurice.)
Nathanial
Maurice
Betty? married Colin O Neill and had a son Jeremy

I know that one of my grandmothers sisters moved to Canada at some point, and apparently I have quite alot of relatives over there.

Other names linked are Siger? and Mitchell. One of the Mitchell's was a fisherman.

If this sounds familiar to anyone, or you have any pointers in which direcion to go next, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Re: DOWLER & MONTGOMERY of FER IRL to VIC AUS

Further to my original post and subsequent computer crashes I have the following info update:
William Dowler (b.c.1804 d.1894 Gortdonaghy) married Catherine (not Margaret) Montgomery. Catherine was from Isle of Innishmore, FER. William appears in Griffiths Valuations in Derryinch & Gortdonaghy in the Parish of Cleenish, FER. They had at least 3 sons, the youngest 2 migrated to AUS. The eldest son Thomas (b.1836 Enniskillen d.1910 Gortdonaghy) I think m.1869 Anne Scarlett. They had at least 2 children Catherine Jane b.1873 Florencecourt FER & William b.1876 FER. Thomas, Anne, Catherine & William are living together in Gortdonaghy in the 1901 census. I think Catherine Jane & William were both married in 1903 in FER. William farmed at Derryinch & Gortdonaghy until I think he d.1945 Cleenish, he also appears to have signed the Ulster Covenant. I believe William had a daughter Harriet Madeline b.1918 ? FER who later married an Armstrong.

Re: HAZLETT, DONLEY

SWallman1 — 2008-06-27 01:12:13Z

I have a Thomas Hazlett, b. 1822 Co. Fermanagh, living in Bentinck Twp., Grey County, but records are in my "tomorrow" file and not on my computer, so here is a sketchy outline.
Large family, mostly girls:John, MaryAnn, Ellen, Thomas, Eliza Jane, Margret, Elizabeth, Sarah Cathrine, Rachael, Priscillla, Isabella, William, Sarah A. , Hanna, and Emma. Brothers John (no info) and William. His family:Sarah Jane, Eliza Anne, Margaret, William, Selina, unnamed infant, Helen. I don't have much information on the family but, if they seem to be a match, we can see what we have and go from there.

Thomas Jones Born 1837 Newtownbutler, Co. Fermanagh

krj152 — 2008-09-08 00:31:51Z

My gg grandfather came to Lower Canada (Quebec) from Ireland aroun 1860. Our family has letters from and to Killroot, NewtownButler, His gravestone says he was born in NewtownButler 1837.

Other letters indicate the Jones family was in Drumralla.

Another letter mentions James and William Jones of Cullion but it is dated much later (1900s I belive I have not seen it)

His mother Mary Jane Herbert was the daughter of Alicia Watters (born 1815 Queens Co) and James Herbert from Kings Co. They were married in Canada.

Hi Catherine, I live in Oxford, England and am a direct descendant of Richardson's from County Fermanagh. My Great-grandfather was Revd. William Richardson (b. 1843) who married Alice Rutledge in Kinawley parish in 1865. My Grandfather was Revd. William Archibald Richardson, Rector of Ennisnag and Canon of Kilkenny, and my father was Revd Raymond William Richardson, Chaplain in the Royal Navy.
G-Grandfather William's father was John Richardson, and maybe a member of the clergy too.

Hi Helen,

I have recently found, through a 2nd cousin, that Margaret Hillis had at least a sister, Florence and a brother,George, who she has all born c. 1877,which would indicate that they were triplets. Another 2nd cousin tells me the Margaret was from Clones in Monaghan. Do you have any Hillis's from Clones.

Thanks for your reply.

Thank you Anne,

I will take a look at the website.

I have recently found that that the national archive.ie will soon be putting the 1911 census online. It is just a waiting game now. The 1911 census for Dublin is already up and running.

Future plans
The records for 1911 are being digitised first, then those for 1901. Kerry, Antrim and Down will be available online in October 2008. Publication of the other counties will follow, in the order listed below, between then and mid-2009. More precise timescales will be posted when available.

Looking for information on the children of James McGurren (b abt 1837 in Cabragh) and Alice Campbell (b 1853) who married on 28 February 1882 in Magheralough RC Chapel, Trillick, Co. Fermanagh. Their children were, John McGurren (1883 – 1959), Susan McGurren (b 1884), Mary Ann McGurren (b 1885), Henry McGurren (1886 – 1971), Sarah Jane McGurren (b 1889), Francis McGurren (1890 – 1945), Celia McGurren (1892 – 1929) and Catherine “Kathleen” McGurren (1895 – 1947).

On their birth records John, Susan, Mary, Henry and Sarah Jane had their surname spelled McGurn. Francis, Celia and Catherine’s surname was spelled McGurren.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Tyrone or Fermanagh ?

frankmcgurrin — 2009-01-13 19:41:28Z

I am completely mystified! My great grandfather and his seven siblings were born between 1883 and 1895. Spellings McGurn and McGurren. All official birth records give their place of birth as 'Cabragh, Trillick, Co. Fermanagh'. I was born in Donegal and from memory and checking maps Cabragh is in south Tyrone. Can anyone shed any light on why official birth certificates for this period would say Co. Fermanagh. Thanks in anticipation.

Hi Marcia,
It sounds like they could be related but it doesn't match anything I have. But then I have a lot of gaps. I have a John Elliott b. 1810 for whom I only have one brother, named William. But John and your James could be cousins. I don't have much beyond John and his siblings. Most of the research I have thus far I've put on my site http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~kwgenealog....

James Irvine & Annabella Noble

irvine75 — 2008-12-18 13:52:01Z

I am seeking information about my GG grand parents James & Annabella Irvine. The emmigrated to Australia from Fermanagh in 1865 with their children Eliza, William, Robert, James, Mary Ann, Alexander and Gerard.

James parents were John Irvine & Lucy Ingram, he also had a brother Robert. According to his death certificate he was born about 1805.

Annabella's parents were James Noble & Ann Henry.

I know very little else about them and would appreciate information about their marriage, parents or siblings.

thanks

Thomas Rennick

lynrennick — 2008-06-26 15:16:34Z

Hi,

I've been losing sleep over this man for almost a year. Can anyone claim him please?

Thomas Rennick, born Armagh around 1830. His family were not from Armagh as there is no trace of any Rennicks in Armagh at that time so it is believed his parents were visiting at the time of his birth.

He married Anne McCauley from Fermanagh. I lost some info from my PC but there was another link with Thomas and Fermanagh and I was led to believe his parents were from there and after his birth took him back to Fermanagh.

I also have Thomas on Griffiths Valuation in Armagh when he grew up. Another piece of info is that he lived at one time (his early 20s I think) in a house in Armagh owned by a man named Hazlett.

Thomas and Anne lived in Derry after they married and had 4 children there before moving down to Sligo, where they had 4 more children. Thomas died in 1901 after the Census as I have him living in Temple Street, Sligo in 1901.

I'm desperate to find his parents and/or siblings. Does anyone know Thomas Rennick, or indeed, his wife Anne McCauley?

Thank You.

Re: Armstrong: Shelland Suffolk

parmstrong162 — 2009-02-02 21:29:52Z

George Armstrong was my G-G-grandfather. My adult children and me have just started to look up the ancestors - amazed to find how much can be done online but very new to it.

George was the father of Robert, who was father of Herbert (lost an eye in the great war - I remember him) who was father of Richard, father of me! (They all had a lot more children than that of course). Several generations lived in Shelland and I remember visiting the last one who lived there - great Uncle Sidney (brother of Herbert). He was barrel-organ-turner at the church.

But what you really want is parents of George. Apparently they were James Armstrong b 1799 and Elizabeth Edwards b 1804. James is difficult - apparently he was 'base-born' (ie illegit.) son of Elizabeth Armstrong. No details known at this time but my father has a copy of the birth cert.

Confusingly there seems to be another set of Armstrongs in the area that are only distantly related - eg the child graves in Harleston churchyard with iron crosses.

My late uncle did a lot of work on the family 25-30 years ago, some of which is now family spoken history, but as for the detail I am trying to get a copy of his notes from relatives.

Peter Armstrong

Hi........I am also researching Little in Scotland. We are a Scot-Irish Protestant family who ended up in Ontario (Upper Canada then) probably around 1800 or the late 1700's. From there to Wisconsin in about 1849-50.

I was interested in your words.. (James I)He called a meeting of the clans from the middle march and ambushed them, executing many (the clan Little lost the head of their clan that day and to date is still without a head).

I would very much like to read this source myself for more information. Can you tell me where you found the information re. the Little Clan head losing his.

Thanks :) :)

Hi
Well since my previous post I have learned more. First...yes Hugh Brackin married Elizabeth Copeland. And yes their son William Copeland Brackin married Jane Armstrong. Elizabeth was a sister to my Hugh Copeland b 1780.

Hugh Copeland married (2nd wife) Nicholina Armstrong who was Jane Armstrong's sister. Both Nicholina and Jane were daughters of William Armstrong b 1764 and Jane Montgomery b1774. Jane's (1774)father was James Montgomery of Tully on Inishmore,Co Fermanagh.

So you are related to the brother of Hugh Brackins line? And your James 1825 married a Buchanan? OMG...well...Nicholina and Jane (Armstrong)also had a brother Montgomery Armstrong b 1812 who married Sarah Buchanan of Tyrone County.

I am in contact with a descendent of Hugh Brackin and Elizabeth Copeland in Ireland.

You must be related to him....

Thanks but all of those are long after mine left the area abt 1850's.

John Dillon

Marmim — 2008-02-11 19:42:36Z

I'm so confused!! I've been told that no one by the name of Dillon has lived in Co. Fermanagh. My GGGrandfather John Dillon b abt 1828, married Ann Birnie/Birney McNulty widow with son Pat McNulty. According to two of their childrens birth records they married May of 1848/9 Co. Fermanagh. Ann was born abt 1830. Their daughter Ann was born abt 1850 in Ireland and sometime after that they moved to Glasgow, Scotland. The rest of their children were born in Glasgow. Charles, Elizabeth died Infant, John, Jane died infant, Thomas Joseph my GGrandfather, Eliza Jane. In 1869 the whole family came to Dubuque, Iowa. The 1870 census shows John in Dubuque, but nothing after that. My GGrandfather who was 3 when they came to the US, said his father didn't come over. So did he die shortly after arriving, no record can be found. Or did he return to Scotland or Ireland. No record of him in Scotland in the old neighborhood. There is another couple old enough to be his parents, at the Glasgow place. John and Marie Dillon.
Can anyone help?

Re: STINSONS OF DERRYGONNELLY

sonja9 — 2007-10-25 13:39:51Z

Hello Moran!
Although I have no proof if this is our Fred Parker, it may very well be. Thank you so much for looking this up. I will also keep the other one on file of Frank Parker's marriage. He may be a cousin of Freds.
Would you know where I could write to, to find out about births to Fred and Emily (Stinson)Parker? I would like to see if I can locate the birth date of Gordon Parker, Fred's son, and see if his mother's given name is Emily, and also possibly find out Fred and Emily's parent's names to make a match, at least on Fred's side of the family.
Also, do you know if there are any census records for that area after 1923, that would be on-line?
Again, thank you so much! I really appreciate you giving me this information on the two marriages.

Hello ohmysunnyone,

Right now I don't have much information to go on with our Stinsons to say if any earlier family members went to Canada or not. Still trying to locate the ones, who went to the USA and also the descendants left in Ireland.

STINSONS OF DERRYGONNELLY

sonja9 — 2007-09-06 20:49:17Z

I'm trying to make a connection with the Stinson Family of Derrygonnelly in County Fermanagh to our Parker Family in Glenfarne, County Leitrim. It's been an on-going puzzle for me. WILLIAM JAMES & JANE (STEPHENSON)PARKER had 7 known children, ELIZABETH "LIZZIE" PARKER, b. 1888, WILLIAM JOHN PARKER, b. 1890, ROBERT PARKER, b. 1892, THOMAS ALBERT PARKER, aka ALBERT PARKER, b. 1895, FREDERICK "FREDDIE" PARKER, b. abt 1898, FANNY A. PARKER, b. 1900 & MARGARET PARKER, b. abt. 1902. All the children, except for Freddie Parker, immigrated to the USA between 1903 and 1925. FREDDIE PARKER remained in Ireland and married a cousin of his, possibly a STINSON, and had one son that I know of GORDON PARKER. There may have been more children born of this union. Some of the STINSON family also went to the USA. I believe that the Stinsons related to the Parkers are from Derrygonnelly, County Fermanagh, but have not made the connection yet, or found our Freddie & Gordon Parker. I have a few given names of the Stinson family that have been associated with the Parker clan, namely ISABELLA, HARRIET, CHARLIE, SADIE & EMILY STINSON. Any help would be appreciated.

Re: Mills/Crawford in Ireland

joansjoy — 2007-07-24 01:22:02Z

Do you know the name of John's parents? I ask as he is born in the same time period as my elusive g-gf, with the same surname. Here's his info:

My g-gf, George Mills, was born in County Fermanagh, Ireland sometime between 1835 & 1840 based on Marriage, Census and Death Regsitration info. His parents were James & Sarah Mills. He apparently left Ireland sometime around or prior to 1860 and came to Eastern Canada posssibly with his parents or not. He is reported in the newspaper to have travelled overland to British Columbia for the Cariboo Gold Rush among the first to travel overland (so far I’ve found no reference to him as an ‘Overlander’). He was a successful gold miner and came to the Victoria BC area & bought a large farm in 1874, married here in 1875, had children here and died here in 1888. I have no info on where in Fermanagh he came from and, with such a common name it is really looking in not just one haystack but several as there are numerous likely places in ‘Eastern Canada’ where he may have lived or, he may simply have arrived in Eastern Canada and immediately travelled to British Columbia.

I'll be interested in hearing whether we might have a connection....

I'd like to find what happened to their families, where John was actually born (descrepancy between Tyrone and Fermanagh), and who Robert Maxwell, who was b. abt. 1798 and died in 1854 in Canada was, as he is buried in the family plot. He was married to Mary ? , b. abt. 1805, died in Canada 1855.

Re: Kinawley/Swanlinbar families

tubman_c — 2007-10-31 00:58:17Z

Hi Bill,

I am searching for TUBMAN info - my husband's great great grandfather was Thomas Tubman (married to Isabella Hill) who came to Canada via the US from Ireland in the 1840s I believe. He was born in Swanlinbar, County Cavan, Ireland, June 22, 1822.

We have not been able to trace further back than his coming to Canada and settling in the ON region and would love to somehow find a link to relatives in Ireland. There is a theory that he was son of Richard Tubman and had a sister named Margaret but thus far have been unable to connect this family to ours.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Seeking info on Terrence McManus (1800 Ireland-1880 Pakenham Ontario Canada) first married Rosy Dolan, had son Timothy Thaddeus (Sept 1824 Ireland) then married Mary Margaret McCaffrey of McGuire's Bridge Co Fermanagh, immigrated to Canada where Patrick JOseph (March 1826) Sarah (1830), Elizabeth (1833) Denis John (1834), Michael James (1836), Mary Ann (1839) and Margaret (1842) were born. It appears that Timothy Thaddeus traveled later than family to Canada. I am descended from first marriage to Rosy Dolan so would particularly like to have more info about her besides name. She is listed as mother in Timothy Thaddeus' obituary.

I have recently discovered that we possibly have a Nehemiah Little in the family. He had a daughter called Elizabeth who married a Joseph Mayers (my husbands gg grandad). He must go back to 1850's)

Does anyone have a connection. We think he was from the Townland called Mullaghee, in the Parish Rossorry in County Fermanagh.

It's an unusal name and we got this information from the free Griffith valualtion records.

Hi

I am looking for the Mayers family who were possibly born in Enniskillen, and whilst looking at surnames for Mayers Monaghans comes up as a variation of the name Mayers, (illiterate spelling on the census, and wrong transcribing), or just a simple name change.

Just thought I would mention it.

GinaMayers402 — 2007-06-26 18:15:18Z

Hi everybody

I wonder if anyone has a connection to the Mayers/Mayor/Mair family of Ireland, possibly Fermanagh, maybe Belfast.

We have traced Melville Garnett Parsons Mayers born 1883 in Ireland and his Father Joseph Moyers (how it was transcribed on the census)born 1855 married to a lady called Lizzie ? born 1858. Their children were called Melville G P and Joseph.

I can't go any further and was wondering if anyone had a connection.

The middle name Garnett Parsons is an unusual one and I thought perhaps it may have been the surname of Lizzie? Any ideas?

Many thanks

I am looking for an ancestor Jane Wilson, who married a William Greaves in Enniskillen about 1800, and a Mary Johnson, who married the son, John, about 1800. William was killed in the battle of Waterloo and John came to Quebec.

John was born Dec. 25, 1801 in Enniskillen. Does that mean in a townland or is the city separate?

Is anyone else researching these lines or know anything about where in Ireland they came from? Thomas had 2 brothers and Margaret had at least 2 brothers who survived the shipwreck.

Yes, we are connected and am also connected with Judy Leyden in Dublin whose ancestor is Catherine Isabella, sister of William Douglas Hazelton.
We have a lot to talk about. I notice you are in Memphis, we are in Houston. I have an extended family tree covering Hazelton, some Nesbitt and Carey, all descended from Rev. William Douglas (1771-1860)and Mary Atkin.

Where do we start?

Re: Fermanagh and Methodism

ms6789 — 2007-09-30 21:15:49Z

Hi Bill,
Thanks for your reply. I cannot find your email so am responding via ancestry.com

I do have an elongated family tree of this period but am missing vital information which I think you possibly have.

Nothing before Rev. John Hazelton though. Judy from Dublin may have this. It seems as though the Rev. William Douglas and Hazelton ministered together for quite some time.

I do have some info. on William Douglas but am curious if anymore has been passed into your family due to the marriages of cousins etc? I am afraid that our Douglas decided to burn all his papers before he passed in 1860.

Have you been in touch with Robin Roddie?

We are descended from William Douglas, brother of Eliza and Jane.
I look forward to hearing from you.

This is a longshot as the post is so old, but here goes.

Parish Recods For Fermanagh

pelhamwest — 2007-07-02 11:54:00Z

Hi

I'm trying to find out more information about a John Bussell who was born in Fermanagh in 1775 and emigrated to Canada in 1819. I have found out that a number of Bussell's are buried at Aghalurcher Old Graveyard and Aghavea Church.

I wonder if anyone can answer these questions:
1. Was Aghalurcher a general graveyard or linked to a particular parish chirch?
2. Is it possible the parish records still exist for Aghava Church and, if so, where would they be stored now?

Thanks in advance for any help anyone can offer.

Unfortunately, I haven't been able to trace my Frazier (Fraser) line back from the USA. I know they were Scottish, but that's about it. My connection to Fermanagh is through my father's side (Oliver). So, whether we're connected or not . . . .

churches, graveyards, school near Pettigo

jimuncc3 — 2008-02-23 22:45:43Z

I was just looking over the 1905 Ordnance Survey (published in 1907) of Tullynaloob (a small townland north of Pettigo where my Oliver ancestors lived) and surroundings. Does anyone have any knowledge of Derrynashesk School? It appears to have been the closest to Tullynaloob at that time. I suspect children were educated at home, if at all, in the mid-1800's, but I'm always looking for new possible sources for info about my ancestors.

Also, I see on the map several listings of "Giants Grave". Know anything about those?

Finally, the largest town around Tullynaloob, without going to Pettigo, seems to be in the townland of Montiaghroe, about 2 1/2 miles east of Tullynaloob. It had Drumkinny School, a RC chapel and graveyard, a Methodist Mission Rom, the Drumkinny post office, and both standing stones and a stone circle. Any readers know about this area? I'd love to know more about the areas where my ancestors came from!
Thanks. Jim

Isaiah Moore b. Apr 1839, s/o Wm and Ann Moore

I have much information about Isaiah after he married Eliza Jane Stewart in 1860. Need to know more about family history in Northern Ireland.

Re: Johnston/Johnson Family from Northern Ireland

Unfortunately the dates don't match up. The oldest "William Johnston" I have is the furthest ancestor I have for this tree. He was born in 1868. So that is 18 years after Some of your Johnston's left to Canada.

However that doesn't mean he's not related. Could his father be related to your group? I would be interested in seeing if we could make a link up.

Re: Robert JOHNSTON, b. 1767, d. 1 Dec 1849

CliffJohnston51 — 2007-05-10 15:44:38Z

There has been some erroneous information circulating for the past 8 years
on our Robert Johnston, b. 1808 in Ireland. It all started with an
unrelated Johnston in northern Ontario making a "leap of faith" taking our
Johnston family in Prescott Co. and mingling it with their Johnston family
in Brampton. We both had an Archibald b. 1815 and a Robert; however, our
Robert was b. 1808 and died in Prescott Co., and theirs turned out to be b.
1810 and died in Brampton. It took me 8 months of intensive work to find
the error, but the damage had been done. Others picked up on it via various
posts, etc.. One elusive source kept the error alive and gave it a life of
its own, much to my chagrin. This morning I finally heard from that source
and hope to have her correct the errors. I apologize for any inconvenience
that this may have caused anyone. Needless to say I'm crestfallen, but I
may have halted the propagation of the error, finally.

Robert JOHNSTON, b. 1767, d. 1 Dec 1849

CliffJohnston51 — 2007-05-09 15:30:38Z

"Robert Johnston, b. 1767, d. 1 Dec 1849, married Mary Porter Brown.

Two of their sons were Robert "Red Robin" Johnston, b. 1808 in Ireland, and Archibald Johnston, b. 1815 in Ireland."

From our oral family history we have that Robert, b. 1767, was born in Scotland and moved to Ireland where he married, raised a family and died. Robert "Red Robin" and Archibald moved to Upper Canada ca. 1832. One or more siblings died on the journey over. A married sister may have remained in Ireland.

If anyone has any information on Robert Johnston '67 and Mary Porter Brown I would appreciate very much hearing from you.

Good hunting,

He married Margaret Robb and they had 6 children. Although I have not been able to verify it, it appears that either he or his father came from Ireland - possibly County Fermanagh (in the area of the Hayes families).

I am researching a Catharine McDonald who married John McGuire in Ireland. Catharine was born in 1822 and John was born in 1810. I do not know where exactly in Ireland. They immigrated to the U.S. somewhere around 1852 with their first born son, Thomas (b-1850). They eventually ended up in Akron, Ohio (1870) census with Thomas, James, Ellen, Mary and Elizabeth (b. 1862). Elizabeth (Lizzie) is my gr grandmother. She married John McGuire - yes a McGuire married a McGuire, as did her sister Mary. I have found Catharine and John McGuire's cemetary headstone in Akron, Ohio and know that John died about 1886 in Ohio, but I cannot find them before 1870. Thanks

Mary Ellen,
I don't have a copy of Francis Maguire's will, but here is a discussion of it that I found in the CLOGHER RECORD, 1957, page 69. Since it is copyrighted, I am not allowed to quote it here, but I will paraphrase some highlights below:

"A Memorial of the will of Francis Maguire of Greagnafina, County Fermanagh, is in the Registry of Deeds. The will is dated 23 February, 1811. His three sons were, Captain Alexander, Doctor John, and Thomas. His property in Co. Leitrim and the Fermanagh townlands of Greaghnafina, Gortoral, and Aghawenagh was divided among them. His daughter Ann and his granddaughter Jane received legacies."

The will is in the Registry of Deeds, which is a difficult and expensive place to research, but I hope to obtain it sometime. I have a lot more information about this family, which is one of the few Maguire lines that can be traced to the Middle Ages. If you would like to exchange information, please contact me at themacmog@aol.com.

Re: Maguire/ McGuire/ Keefe/McAuley

themacmog — 2007-04-28 03:27:10Z

That's very interesting, cousin. Did your great aunt write the list from memory? Francis Maguire's will has survived, which is where I got most of my information.
Do you know anything about the Charles McGovern that Ann Maguire married? (Especially what townland they lived in.)
I am descended from Elizabeth Rose Maguire (or perhaps Rose Elizabeth Maguire). She would have been the niece of your Ann Maguire McGovern, as she was the daughter of Thomas Maguire son of Francis. She also married a McGovern -- Michael McGovern (aka Vicky Terry Cathal) of Derrylahan in Glangevlin, County Cavan.

HI - I am really sorry took me so long - email got lost and I only just refound it! I don't know for sure if your great-grandmother and my great-grandfather William were cousins. He left in about 1898, but they must have been related because Irvinestown was so small? I don't think he had a brother Edward but I am going to check again. He must have only been about 6 years older than your great-grandmother - so surely in a small village they knew each other? He did have a brother or sister who went to Canada - I am going to check the list at my father's house again.

The Cousins family from Boa Island

Peter,
We emailed in 2/06 and had no connection. However, I have more info now. My McManus line, from Glenn, Tempo, Co. Fermanagh has a Mary,who married a John Kelly from Trillick. Some of this family remains in Trillick. Mary had a sister Margaret, who stayed at Glenn and lived with brother Michael, raised Paul McAloon. McManus parents were Patrick and Mary(Maguire)McManus. Does this connect?

Re: Townland of Lettermoney - Kelly

CArmelpowers — 2007-07-01 01:18:16Z

Yes. I have a Patrick McManus and Mary Maquire , with 6 children. Mary McManus married John Kelly. Do not have birth date but I guess late '30/40's. Her brother Maurice was born 1843. However, McManus family was from Glenn.

Re: ELLIOTT'S FROM ENNISKILLEN

lips01601 — 2007-05-26 04:05:10Z

Hi Bonnie,

I would like to expand on mpp's answer. One of my family names is Little. The Little's, Elliot's, Johnstone's (Johnson), Greame's (Graham) and Maxwell's were some of the Reiveing Clan names from the Middle March of Scotland (near Langholm and Dumfries), along the Pictish or Roman Wall which separated Sotland and England. The Armstrong's seemed to be the most powerful Clan (there are many stories about them).

In the Days following Queen Elizabeth's death, which became known as Ill Week, the Border erupted in great violence. When her heir was named (King James I of England, formerly James of Scotland) the Graemes, Armstrongs and Elliot's launched a massive raid into Cumbria - this was the beginning of the end for the Reivers as James was determined to have a 'United Kingdom'. He called a meeting of the clans from the middle march and ambushed them, executing many (the clan Little lost the head of their clan that day and to date is still without a head). The remaining clan members - all aforementioned - were given a choice; to either go and fight for King James in Bohemia, or go to Ireland (Ulster) and the plantation. As far as I am able to research, all of the clans from the Middle March left Scotland around 1610/20 and went to Northern Ireland, County Fermanaugh, Enniskillen townsland. My Little's were 'weavers' there for 80 years (and believe me, the 'weaver / reiver' simalarity is not lost on me, LOL).

About 1700, the Little's crossed the ocean to America and the Delaware Colony (I have land records) and later were found in North Carolina (many fought in the Revolutionary War). On a side note, it is said that George Washington observed, "If it weren't for my Scotch -Irish Troops, America would have lost the Revolution" because they were so fearsome. William Penn was quoted as saying, "..one Scotch Irish family caused more trouble in Pennsylvania than 100 German families." Because they were so rowdy. The Indian's were said to have feared no other ethnic group more than the Scotch-Irish (including other Indian tribes!). They were known to occupy land (whether or not it was owned by someone else, and out and would out refuse to leave - usually the lawful owners wound up leaving instead!) There is a book that I have at my local library that places the clans from the Middle March in Enniskillen in the mid 1600's. If you are interested, I will get the title and post it for you.

You may want to hunt down a male relative with the surname of Eliott and ask him to take the DNA test to see if you are descended from this Clan from the Middle March - please do not just take someone's word for it - find a descendant to take the test to be sure. Go here to learn more about an Eliott DNA study and other group studies (including the Border Reivers!)
http://www.familytreedna.com/name_search.aspx?search=SearchN...

If you want to read about the Scottish Border Reivers, I highly recommend 2 books; "The Border Reivers", by Keith Durham and Angus McBride (which is very visual) and my favorite, "The Steel Bonnets", by George MacDonald Fraser.

I wrote a paper based on my research on the Border Reivers and I can tell you, I was never so repulsed and proud at the same time. I know it sounds strange - some of the things they did, or the way they did them, was sometimes horrifying - but at the same time they were so loyal and brave and true to each other. I think there is a quote in Fraser's book that says that - To their enemies, there was no greater threat - but to other Reivers, no greater love or loyalty.

maryel5455_2 — 2007-04-28 14:52:59Z

I have no idea where the info came from except what has been handed down by tradition. My mother remembers it being info that a great aunt kept(would be my gr-gr). When I look at what we have, It looks like a grdaughter of Ann may have been the family's keeper. There are birthdates for that entire family, only a few death dates and the info surrounding that group gets sketchier the farther you go. Death dates for the group above and birth for those below. That is really the only info I have as the only county handed down was Leitrim for Francis Maguire d1811. Did Francis's will have the daughters listed? Would like to know that the info we have at least begins on a correct note!
Thanks and nice to meet you,
Mary Ellen

Re: Maguire/ McGuire/ Keefe/McAuley

maryel5455_2 — 2007-04-27 22:01:59Z

Hello. My family also comes down from Francis Maguire. We aren't sure which great-gr-aunt wrote it all down but one did. We have Francis Maguire d.1811, children Alexander, John, Thomas, Ann, Elizabeth, Catherine, Alice & Mary. We are descended from Ann who wed Charles McGovern. Have only a few dates and only know that they stayed in Ireland until 1850's when Ann's granddaughter emigrated to Phils, PA.

I believe my McCauley relatives may have come from Bessbrook in Fermanagh, pls would you be happy to share the McCauley data base you spoke of?
Alternatively, please could you assist me in my quest to find my relatives.
I don't have much info to go on, other than my Grandfather - John McCauley; possibly born in Bessbrook in approx 1914, and later moved to Coventry, England. He died at age 28 (when my Dad was 3 yrs old ) during WW11. His Merchant Ship, S.S Gloucester Castle of London was hit by a German commerce raider off Ascension. I have learnt from the CWGC web site that his parents names were Thomas and Elisabeth
(it is spelt with an s on the site). This is as far as I have got as the UK 1901 census does not list either of my Great Grand Parents - they were probably still in Ireland. All the searching I have done is leading me know where....please can you help or give me some tips on how to progress, I would like to find dates of birth, deaths, marriages, and any possible siblings John may have had.
Thank you in anticipation.
Kind regards
Karen

McCauley

auntiekazza — 2007-06-29 16:22:51Z

Hi
I have recently started on my family tree and as I'm a novice - having a few problems; So far I have the name John McCauley - possibly born in Fermanagh around 1914 (my Grandad) Unfortunately John died aged 28 (when my dad was 3 years old) during WW11. His Merchant Ship S.S Gloucester Castle was hit by a German commerce raider off Ascension on 15 July 1942.

I have learnt via the Commonwealth War Graves Commission, that his Parents where Thomas and Elisabeth (pls note the s in the spelling - it may prove useful) However, I have not been able to locate them on the 1901 census. My Dad has very little memory of this side of his family (his Mother remaried) but he believes they may have returned to Ireland.

Can anyone please help me in my quest to find details of my Great Grand Parents and any possible sibblings John may have had?
Kindest regards
Karen

MCGURR / MCGIRR

astarte00 — 2007-04-25 18:10:44Z

I am researching the family of Patrick McGirr (McGurr) b 1811 d ?? m Bridget Mooney b 1820 d 5 Oct 1889 Burlington Iowa who emigrated to the US 7 Dec 1866/67. Ships Manifest lists the family name as McGirr.

The Children:

Edward b 1846
Patrick b 1848
William b 1849 Co Longford, Ire nee Mary McArdle b abt 1852/55 Co Louth Ire
John b 1851 (listed as deaf & dumb on 1870 Cenus)
Bridget b 1852
Joseph b 1853
Frances b 1854
Francis b 1857
Bernard b 1859
Mary b 1861

Mary McArdle parents listed on Marriage to William 16 Feb 1879 in Jersey City NJ as Thomas McArdle & Kate McGerugh. McArdle is possibly from Dundalk or Barronstown County Louth

All McGirr's born in Ireland. Settled in Jersey City NJ and listed in the 1870 Census incorrectly as “McGuire” Currently the family goes by “McGurr” although some family is rumored to have adopted “McGarr”. Religion is Roman Catholic

Joseph (b 1853) married Catherine Kehoe and had the following children

James b 1882 Iowa
Mary b 1883 New Jersey
Joseph b 1885 Iowa
Peter b 1887 Iowa
Edward b 1888 (?) New Jersey
Irene b 1889 New Jersey

Joseph d 1964 in Jersey City NJ married Mary (May/Mae) Bond b 1891 d 1967

As I see there are several clusters or facets of the "McGirr" clan. The family that I am researching primarily uses the following naming pattern; Patrick, Francis, James, Thomas, Joseph, William, Bernard, Charles, Edward, Mary, & Catherine or Margaret.

This differs from the branch of the family where there is use of Owen & Terrence .

They initially settled in Jersey City, NJ, but the second generation appear to have homesteaded in Iowa, but returned to Jersey City NJ. Bernard eventually settled in Chicago, two brothers in another branch settled in Ohio, I believe it was Frank & William.

I might even venture a guess that perhaps Patrick (1811), Bridget, along with their son John eventually settled in New Brunswick Canada since I was able to find a family consisting of Pat McGirr, married to a Bridget Mooney, with their son John with the exact same age differences. It would only stand to reason that a disabled child at that time would have continued to live under their parents roof through their lifetime.

Any information would be greatly appreciated

Roper/Trotter

wabga1 — 2007-12-11 01:00:11Z

While on the Fermanagh site yesterday in an 1821 census which included Irvinestown, I found my g-g-grandfather Thomas Roper (11)living with his grandparents David Trotter (72)Catherine Trotter (59) their sons George (29), William (16), Alexander (13) and daughter Catherine (22).
This co-incides with Thomas' death certificate in Victoria, Australia which states he was born in Irvinestown in 1810. He married in Paisley, Scotland in 1835, but I cannot find a birth - or his parents anywhere.
Going on the census I would presume his mother would be a trotter and wondered if anyone had information on this family.

I am trying to research my gr. gr. gr. grandfather John Nethery but have hit a brick wall when it comes to finding any siblings or his parents. My information starts with him.
John was born November 5, 1814 in Tyrone Co. (spelled Terrone on his grave stone. Married Margaret Crawford in 1843, had 4 children there (his obit states one died in infancy), Sarah 1844, Mary 1847, and John James 1849. They sailed to America shortly after that with the next child being born in Ohio in 1850. I have a copy of a marriage license for John after Margaret died and it looks like he has written his father as Thomas and his mother as Mary Sheilds. Do you have any information for the John I am seeking or of his wife Margaret Crawford?

Hello,

We are related. My great grandfather was Evor Leonard (b 1842 - d 1902). He was born in County Fermanagh, Ireland. The family emigrated to Canada about 1842 and settled in/near Cobourg, Ontario. I have extensive information about the McGuire connection through Iowa relatives (Jim McGuire) that visited our family in 1984.

If you are still out there you can contact me via this board.

Hello, My name is Wally Clingan. I have been working on the history of the Clingan family for over 10 years now. We do not know a reat deal about our family before they came to the states, but I think we are gaining on it. The forst Clingan we know about whi came here from Ireland settled in The Lancaster- York Co PA area. In my Word studies I call them the Pennsylvania Clingan, even though they are scattered across the US now. Like you, I thought my family was the only one around, but I find they are thicker than fleas now. In fact I am presently working on 6 different line in the US. If you would be interested, I will send all of my Word studiess to you, all you need do is write and ask for them and send me your email address. MY address is wlc32@woh.rr.com I'll look forward to hearing from you, Wally

Re: Graham, Jane (b 1826-) of Enniskillen

sheilaholm7 — 2008-03-01 05:15:47Z

Very interesting -- we have found an uncle of our line, b about 1798 (?) Fermanaugh, Ireland; buried in a pioneer area of Lucknow, Bruce, Ontario, with our GRAHAM line.

When our direct line emigrated to Ontario 1842 -- some of the family lived & worked in a cooperage in Paris, Ontario, owned by John & James GRAHAM who emigrated earlier.

We knew we were Scotch/Irish, while some in the family want to only go back to the point when we know our direct line was living in Kilmarnock, Ayr, Scotland, when married FEB 1819. The daughter Euphemia, b 1820 was married 1840 and lived on/near Back Street, on Graham land -- she emigrated in 1851 & she & her husband, Thomas STEVENSON are on the Spring census in AYR in 1851 and fall census in Ontario in 1851, where they also worked/lived in the cooperage, owned by GRAHAMs, which was highlighted in the 1851 business directory in Paris.

In 1901, when Euphemia died -- she was buried in Lucknow cemetary & the people that provided the info on the stone for GRAHAMs/STEVENSONs shared the fact an older GRAHAM (died at the age of 82 years, b Fermanaugh, Ireland; prior to Euphemia by years, and therefore, other details not noted on the stone for the series of graves)

Re: Simon Graham

wcatesjr_1 — 2008-03-17 03:12:43Z

I wanted to put a few more facts that might be helpful for those who research Simon Graham.

My line come from Simon's son Christopher who married Rebecca Jane McKim. Their daughtor, Agnes Rebecca Graham, married John Jason Cates in Lowell, MA, USA. my 2nd G.G parents.

There are several theorys floating around and it can be difficult determining fact from guess.

http://personal.nbnet.nb.ca/davmc/medill2.htm

http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.canada.newbrun...

Some strongly suggest that Simon, Christopher and Richard are related. The top url links the three to Tyrone - I've seen one that links Christopher to Fermanagh, Ireland.

In addition to the three it has been also suggested that William, Arthur, Andrew, and Margaret Graham are potential siblings.

One interesting note - according to US Census for Agnes Rebecca Graham while she lived in Lowell MA, it is listed that both her parents were born in Scotland (Simon's son Christopher and his wife Rebecca) All the Graham's I've been researching in Petersville area are stated as being from Ireland. Now it's well known that the Grahams seem to have come from Scotland the further back you go. So maybe Tyrone or Fermanagh, Ireland was just a point of departure. Maybe we should be looking in Scotland for our answers.

Re: elizabeth mcloughlin, husband John Hegarty info

Sleibhe — 2007-07-09 10:59:36Z

See my previous message re: Elizabeth Mc Loughlin which includes information about records sources in Ireland. That information would be the same for John Hegarty, i.e. you'd need his birthplace in County Donegal, parents names and religous denomination to identify what religious parish records survive for that birth location that might include his baptismal entry.

There's a list of the names of all the towns and townlands in County Donegal at http://www.seanruad.com and pick Donegal as your search county.

You can order a search for his civil death record from the General Register Office http://www.groireland.ie and click on "apply for cert" but if there is a civil death record, it won't include his parents names or birthplace.

Re: elizabeth mcloughlin

Sleibhe — 2007-07-09 10:55:02Z

Irish civil registrations records begin in 1864 with Protestant marriages beginning in 1845. Irish civil registrations records aren't computerised or available online as England's are. So there won't be a civil birth record for Elizabeth McLoughlin because she was born too early for a civil birth record to be registered.

Irish civil death records don't include place of birth or parents names.

You'd need to know where she was born in County Fermanagh, her parents names and religious denomination to identify what religious parish records survive for that birth location and religious denomination that might include her baptismal record and then if those religious parish records survive, where the religious parish records might be accessed for that birth location and religious denomination.

Since Irish civil registrations records aren't available online and aren't computerised, you'd need to request the General Register Office search the civil marriage records for the possible civil marriage record. You can do that through http://www.groireland.ie and click on "apply for cert". If there is a civil marriage record, it won't include her birth location.

You can also request a search for the civil death record through the General Register Office but as I mentioned, if one exists, it won't include her birthplace or parents names.

There aren't any surviving census records in Ireland before 1901 and the 1901 and 1911 Irish census records aren't as yet computerised or available online. You'd need to know where family members were living when those census were enumerated to search the microfilm copies of the 1901 and 1911 Irish census records for the location where they were living when the census for both years was enumerated. The microfilms are available for research on order through a LDS Family History Centre.

If any of their children emigrated, their civil and church records wherever they emigrated would be sources to research that might include where their parents were born, i.e. town/townland, civil parish and county.

There's a list of the names of all the towns/townlands, civil parshes, etc. in County Fermanagh and every county in Ireland at http://www.seanruad.com and pick Fermanagh or whatever county you're interested in as your search county.

Sorry for the double up! All these McManus' seem to have the same Christian names which makes research almost hopeless. I've never been able to find when or where my John Kelly was born in Ireland. The following is a summary of my McManus':

My ancestors were James McManus and his wife Margaret (nee Maguire). They lived in or near the village of Lack in County Fermanagh. James died in 1841 but Margaret lived to at least 1910 and remained in Fermanagh with a son Patrick b c1835. Margaret and her children appear in Lowtherstown (Irvinestown) workhouse records in 1849 with children Patrick, Margaret age 9 and Mary aged 11. There may have been another child James but I’m not sure. In 1867 Mary married John Kelly at the Chapel in Blackbog and in 1883 they arrived in Australia with their children.

Re: MORAN/MURTHA/CARROLL

rcc2_1 — 2007-08-22 12:06:46Z

Hi - I have a bit of info, but not much. Thomas and Alice had 4 sons and 1 daughter that I know of. Patrick was the oldest, followed by Thomas, John, Mary, and Edward. I've seen many spellings for Alice's family name, but in the church's register (for St. Sylvestre) for John's wedding in 1834 the priest spelled it as Hereron, so that is the spelling I use. The priest also wrote that Thomas and Alice were from Co. Fermanagh, and I assume all five children were born there and that the family emigrated to Canada in the early 1830s. Patrick and Bridget were married in the Notre Dame church in Quebec City on 24 Nov. 1835. Bridget died on 6 April 1885, and Patrick one day later on 7 April 1885. I do not have additional info on Bridget.

If you have the genealogy for Patrick and Bridget's family, would it be possible to get some of the info. Perhaps we can exchange family histories. You can email me directly at rcc2@globetrotter.net.

Thank you from a distant cousin.

These are my great grandparents. They were born in Co Fermanagh but I don't know where. In 1901 Co Donegal census and 1911 John was a gardener at the Great Northern Hotel. They must have moved as they are listed on the Ulster Covenant as living at Rossachrin, Lisnarick, Irvinestown.

John was born 1863, Elizabeth 1865. Married 1893 but I don't know where they were born or place of marriage.

Their first child William John was born in Co Fermanagh don't know where in 1895. They had 4 more children Alfred 1896, Mary 1898, Robert my grandfather born 1900 died 1969 and Fredrick 1903. All born in Bundoran Co Donegal. Mary married a farmer called Armstrong from Maguiresbridge. Had 5 children who never married and they all died in early 1970's. (Robert, William, Jim, Maggie, Mary). William and Alfred died in WW1. Only discovered Fredricks existence yesterday. How could I find out about him. Could he have lied about his age and joined to army also?

There is a Griffiths Valuation for a John Campbell Rossachrin. Could this be John's father. How could I find this out? Is Rossachrin a farm? Would anyone know where John and Elizabeth are buried as they were C of Ireland and living in Lisnarick.

If anyone knows anything about this family or John or Elizabeths brothers or sisters please get in contact with me.

Re: STINSONS OF DERRYGONNELLY

ohmysunnyone — 2007-10-21 19:15:36Z

Hello. I wonder if your STINSONs of Fermanagh might be connected farther back in the early 1800s, with my Stinson ancestors who came to Canada about 1826 or so?

JOHN STINSON (1795-1862), his wife (don't have her name), and daughter ANN STINSON (1819-1904)emigrated from Fermanagh to Upper Canada in company with members of the MILLS family from Templecarn/Pettigo. The two families settled near to each other, in what is now King township (north York County) and West Gwillimbury township (south Simcoe County), Ontario. Eventually (in 1839), ANN STINSON married my 2nd great-Grandfather, JOHN MILLS (1819-1876), native of Pettigo. Both Ann and John died here in Canada.

While I know that there were MILLS relations who stayed behind at Pettigo (and that general region), I don't know if there were any STINSON relatives who chose to remain in Fermanagh / Ulster.

If any of these names occur in your family tree, or if you've come across them in your research, I'd love to hear from you (and from anyone else with Stinson ancestors who reads this message!).

Re: Brady

Jacky_Casey — 2007-07-29 00:38:14Z

Hello Myra,

I have not found Hugh Gordon in my research, but I have found out quite a bit about my Gordon/Brady family since the post in 2005 so I will share that with you and see if it ities in with anything you have.

Firstly Patrick Gordon was the son of Owen Gordon and Rose Murray. They had two other sons I know of, John born about 1842 and Francis born about 1846. Because of the large age difference between Patrick and John, there must be more children. Rose and these three sons migrated to Scotland and died in Glasgow. I have not found Owen's death registration.

Margaret Brady was the daughter of John Brady and Margaret McNaught.

Now Patrick and his brothers had a lot of children between them, but not one of them is named Hugh, so it looks like it is not a family name for this branch of Gordon. One family name is Barty, Bartley or Bartholemew.

annebrooker — 2007-11-19 20:46:48Z

I am trying to find out more about this ancestor of mine. He moved to Scotland - Glasgow where he married Matilda Robertson on 08 Feb 1861.
I think he came from Fermanagh. Can any one help with this - I have family notes that suggest his father was also John Eccles born in 1815 who married Ann McCormick b about 1806 and that this John Eccles was a Land Steward or farm manager.

can anyone help me with this

Yes! That is them. Most of what I've got on the Johnstons and Elliotts are on my website http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~kwgenealogy/index.h..., though it's still in progress. Robert and Elizabeth were in Goderich, Huron Co., Ontario,Canada in 1881. And by 1900 they were in Twp 134 range 57, Ransom Co., N. Dakota (I have no census record 1890). 1910, they were in Mt. Carlton Twp., Spokane Co., Washington, and by 1920, Elizabeth was widowed, but still in Mt. Carlton, with her daughter Elizabeth.

Howe of Fermanagh

WWHowe — 2007-12-01 13:21:13Z

Tracing a Howe branch that settled in New Brunswick, Canada that came from Co. Fermanagh in 1819. Siblings of my ansestors that remained in Fermanagh were Sarah b May 18 1784 d May 31 1867 / William b May 30 1788 d ? / Robert b May 30 1793 d 1853 in Enniskillin Parish / Francis b May 23 1800 d 1873 in Salloon, Parish of Magheracross, Co Fermanagh. I would certainly think there were some Irish cousins out there.
Would be great as well as to piece together more of the Howe Family history in Fermanagh as there were of course so many who came from there and settled in the US and Can.
My regards............

James Robert Gould, who married Sarah Jane Jones in 1868 in Parish of Galloon, but later farmed in the area of Newtown. Their children were Careline, Jay, Mary Elizabeth (Mae) and possibly William all born in Newtown. Other children born to them when they immigrated. Are these the same people you are searching?

Bonnie& Lips,My father was reciently YDNA tested at the address you stated and is a 36/37 match for the mainstream of the Scots Borders Elliot. Places back 29 generations or around 1287 AD.The things you mention are true but,these marked the end of a way of life. Some say 300 some 600 yrs. of Border Reivers . We are a fighting people for sure as our history states.We had a curse put on us in 1525 by Archbishop Dunbar in the Carlisle,England (just over the border) it is approx . 1500 words. You can see a portion at this site http://www.carlisle.gov.uk/carlislecc/main.asp?page=944
I would like to discuss your research. Mppe54@yahoo.com

Re: ELLIOTT'S FROM ENNISKILLEN

mppe54 — 2007-05-24 00:43:13Z

Bonnie, Your family history is correct about Spanish blood . During the last ice age a glacier formed over what is now Ireland and Scotland.You relize Elliott is Scottish?Your DNA haplotype if Iberian would be R1b(15).This matches to the Basques of N.Spain and N.w.France.There are also R1b(35)believe it or not from Turkey and Iraq. I believe a J haplotype indicates Roman or Italian.That's the simple vertion.Anyway there were three routes taken by the aboriginal peoples of the Brittish Iles.Originally Picts and Brythonic Celts.Later Norse and Gaels from Ireland. The first route is the Iberian penninsula,second Italian penninsula and third the Balkens/Middle east.As the ice receeded these groups(specificly Elliot's)returned to the border area of Scotland.I myself am very dark as well as my GGG&GGGGrandfathers.Enniskillen,IRE. connection comes because we were what was known as Border Reivers in Scotland.Basicly mercenaries to the crown some say theives dating before the 1300's the time of Robert the Bruce(braveheart?)T.V. story not totally correct. Upon the death of Queen Elizabeth I and the assention of King James I around 1603 to the throne. Elliot's(notice single T)along with Armstrongs and Grahams (several other reiver families).Were pusecuted because James mother was Mary Queen of Scots and Elizabeth I had the Reivers pressure her.A bounty was held for an Elliot head and it was legal to take anything from an Elliot including his life.Many fled to Ireland on their own but, also James made a deal had started the Ulster plantation and these reivers were offered land in N.Ireland.to avoid the knoose.This was part of his unifying the borders policy.It also benifited to help establish a go between to the crown and the hibernians(Recently stopped fighting)and to break up the clans on the lawless borders.There is more. This isn't going to give me enough space to finish.If interested write me at mppe54@yahoo.com . My family come from Fermanagh, Maguires bridge south into parish of Clones.
old Scottish ryhme,"Whence came Elliott"
The doule L and single T,
Descend from Minto and Wolflee.
The doule T and single L,
Mark the old race in Stobs that dwell.
The single L and single T,
The Eliot's of St.Germains be.
But the double T and double l,
Who they are no one can tell.
For the double L and double T,

Origin of Keys surname in County Fermanagh, Ireland

apeiron1 — 2007-11-23 20:42:01Z

Can you help me identify the origin of the Keys surname in County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland?

DNA testing has ruled out a genetic relationship with the Keys family at Lifford, which first appeared in Ireland under Elizabeth I and settled there under James 1.

The first documented Keys in County Fermanagh is Hugh Keys born ca.1660 and died in 1733. A mention of a Widow Ki (or Kee?) on a 1720 survey suggests that the name may have evolved in that period.

Documentary sources suggest that Keys (as well as other commono names such as MacKey, MacKay, MacKee, MacKoy, Hughes, Hewson, Eason, MacHugh and McGee) may have been an anglicized form of the Celtic Mac Aoidha (or son of Aodh, meaning "fire," anglicized as Hugh). In light of this, it may be relevant that the first documented Keys in Fermanagh bore the christian name Hugh.

One family of McKee originated in Myrton-McKee, Penninghame, Wigton, Scotland and settled in counties Down and Antrim. This line appears to account for a large proportion of McKees in Northern Ireland.

Another branch of Scottish McKees in Ireland derives from John McKie of Larg, Minnigaff, Kirkcudbright, descended from Sir Patrick McKie. This family settled in Derry.

MacHugh originated in Galway and spread into County Roscommon. The name is now frequent in counties Leitrim and Fermanagh.

The MacGee name in Ulster is either of Scottish, akin to MacDonnell (and thus ultimately Irish in origin), or is a from a Gaelic Irish group that lived on the Donegal and Tyrone borders. The early history of this branch is not known.

Finally, one source indicates that MacKee can also be a anglicization of Macan Caoich (coach = blind), and was used by the Oreilly of Breffney. This later evolved into Key(e)s.

Lastly, heraldry provides one further clue. The motifs on the Keys coats of arms found on gravestones in Fermanagh are common to many armorial bearings. However, one coat of arms in Scotland, that of the Aberach MacKay family, shows a strong resemblance. It has the lion rampant and hand in common with Keys arms, and also adds 10 fleur de lis on the outside of the shield. A relationship between the two is possible, but perhaps not probable.

Barring further documentary evidence, we must appeal to DNA to unravel this mystery. I invite males bearing the surnames McKee, McGee, McHugh, Hughes and variants of these to help solve the riddle by participating in DNA projects. Please contact me if interested.

Thank you.

Can anyone help with how I might find some information on the above ancestors of mine. All I know is that from a birth certificate of a daughter, born in Shotts Glasgow, William Biggins and Elisabeth Winterson were married in Newton Butler in December 1860. That's all I know of their origins. From then on I have all the info I need of their new lives in Scotland. William's parents were Bernard & Catherine ( nee Currie )and he also had a brother, Michael, who followed or went with him to Glasgow in the mid to late 1860's. I know nothing of Elisabeth's background so any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks - in anticipation.

My great grandmother was born in Fermanagh and immigrated to Portage la Prairie, Manitoba Canada around 1905, I think. Her name was Elizabeth Catherine Humphreys. She had a brother Edward? and a sister Ervina. She was always called Evy, but I believe she was christened Ervina. My Grandmother's name is Irvina, and my Mom's is Irva. All stemming from Irvinestown. Not sure what the connection is. Elizabeth was around 18 when she came to Canada. My grandmother, Irvina, kept in touch with relatives, but we have now lost our connection.

I believe that Keys and Humphries families may have been connected by marriage. The only families in which the given name Royal appears in Fermanagh are Humphries and Keys, and the two families are present on at least one legal document. In my branch, the name Royal has persisted (in contracted form) for 4 generations.

Hi Don, I have emailed you privately but just in case I have got the email address wrong, i am leaving a message here. Don, if what you say is correct, that makes you my 3rd cousin... I am over the moon! I have tons of information for you, on your Greaghawarren Beagan/Beggan family and you can bet i will have loads of questions for you about the emigrant side of mine. Your Thomas went over to R.I. on 22 May 1896, with his mother, Catherine (nee Quigley) b. abt 1835, and sister Maggie b. 1880, leaving his father, Patrick Beggan b. abt 1835 - d. 1908 in ireland. A brother, Patrick b. 1870 and sisters, Ellen b. 1868 and Ann b. 1874, were already in Providence, Rhode Island. Please get in touch soon! Claire McConville

James Gilchrist and family Catherine, Thomas, David, William, Noble along with relatives James, Anthony and Patrick Gilchrist came to Ontario, Canada in mid 1850's possibly from Enniskillen. Would like to hear from anyone in Fermanagh who knows this family, or from any descendants in Ontario or elsewhere.
