I am reposting this as I have not made any progress over the past few months. Looking for info on Maryann Nugent, born 1857 in Cleenish Parish. She was the daughter of William Nugent and Catherine Kerr. If anyone has any info on the Nugents or the Kerrs, I would be very interested to hear from them. Cheers from Hamilton Elizabeth

Frank Neal in his book "Black '47" gives some sources that look as if they might give you a lead, if you've not already seen them. D. Fitzpatrick "Irish Emigration 1801 - 1921", Dublin 1984 D. Fitzpatrick "Oceans of Consolation: Personal accounts of Irish Migration to Australia" Cork, 1994 P. O'Farrell "The Irish in Australia" N.S.W. University Press 1986, especially chapter 3. and especially on Irish women P.O'Sulliva (ed.) "The Irish World-Wide History, Heritage, Identity" Volume 4 -- Irish Women and Irish Migration. Leicester University Press 1995 Hope this may help, though I've no personal knowledge of any of them. Just happened to read Neal's book this week!. Crawford.

Interested Listers, When my husband and I visited County Fermanagh this last November we met with Willie Parke. Willie told us his book, "Glimpses of Old Derrygonnelly" was out of print. Willie did not have any extra copies of the book either. However, Willie suggested to us that we visit the Library at Enniskillen to make a copy of the book, which we did. If I can help anyone out who thinks they need information from this book, please feel free to contact me. Val (McClelland) Anderson Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada

Georgia, I have just looked at the entire book. It wasn't until p. 67 that I found the Leith reference that I remembered! THE OLD GRAVEYARD Plot 43 "Erected by Mary Ann in memory of her husband Robert Leith who died September 29th 1882 aged 56 years" "Note: There is a blank gravestone here, maybe it is upside down. Leiths resided both at Dromore and Largalinney." There were NO OTHER LEITH references in that book. I will continue to look at some of the other Fermanagh books. This book does not have an ISBN number. It was published by W.K. Parke 1978. Perhaps it is available at Hall's Bookstore Enniskillen, Co. Fermanagh, NI Others on the Fermanagh list may have the complete address. Have you checked Griffiths Valuation for other Leith names in Fermanagh?

I am very interested in the mention of Leiths in particular and would also to read the book - which I haven't been able to locate. Would you give me the book's ISBN #? Also, if the passages aren't too lengthy, would you email me those that pertain to Leiths? I appreciate all your input on the Fermanagh list and look forward to hearing from you - Georgia Garnsey [email protected]

Hi Maureen In regards to the February 16th posting. Do you have a Bessie Maguire ( or Elizabeth) in your Maguires? My great great grandmother was Bessie Maguire married to a Hugh McDonnell . They had 13 children I believe, and 3 of the sons emigrated together to the US in 1889. John was born in 1870, Patrick 1867 and James in 1868. I would apprecitate any information you might have on them as it is about the same time frame that you mention

Hi list Just a note to say that there have been some major improvements on the Fermanagh Gold website, in particular with reference to the different search facilities. You will now be able to view all Surnames by first alphabetival letter. Each surname is a clickable link to a full list of people with that surname. Browsing the list in this way gives you an overview of the enormous spelling variations in the surnames. Similarly the Search Families by Place has been improved so you can now view place names in the database, (residences, parishes etc) each of which is a clickable link to a list of all people with some connection with that place name. This search facility in the past was very limited but should now provide a valuable indication of "who lived where". As with surnames, place names too appear with a wide range of spelling variations. The 1821 Census extracts and the 1881 Census Strays are being expanded to include parental information where known, and cross referenced links to other Fermanagh born people in the household. This is an ongoing project as it will take some months to get through the 10,000+ entries! Not too many new contributions have been published lately as I've been concentrating on improving these search facilities. But I have been sent lots of really interesting material - so watch this space! As always, access to the searches is FREE, the only requirement that you register your name and email address.

I have just read a lovely book by my old French Teacher BRIDIE TANNIAN on the Catholic Girls School . MOUNT LOURDES in Enniskillen. It traces back Irish Education to the 'hedge system' in the early 19th century. It is published my Menapia in Enniskillen and is a worthwhile read and of genealogical interest to anyone interested in Fermanagh. The book goes back to 1831 and there is a list of girl's names from 1913 and their place of birth. This was THE SCHOOL IN FERMANAGH for Catholic Girls from all backgrounds, academic ability was the only criteria, be the very poor as most were to the comfortably off . It was run by the Sisters of Mercy and in the early days, during the famine they took girls off the streets of Enniskilen, fed them and taught them the thre R'S. These were the lucky ones, the school eventually became a Grammer Sshool in the early 20th Century . It is all in the Book and I will get round to putting extracts on the Website. The importance of this School cannot be emphacised enough in the life of families in Fermanagh, It was the gateway to a better world, I t was of enormous pride to any family if their daughter gained a place, releasing her from the drudgery of a hard life to the acaedamic world. This book has come to me thanks to my lovely cousin[ Mary Beggan]of in the genes who was Headmistress of this wonderful school. Maureen

There sem to be a new group of people out there just getting started in this disease, affliction, habit, of gathering information about their ancestors. I am about to type again, the 1659 census for Fermanagh. Please, Please Please. 1. Go buy a three ring binder with an A to Z index. 2. If you see something on this web site, print it and file it. 3. Add to you address book, those individuals who offer to help. 4. Reposting your request every two to three months means that you are not giving enough information for research purposes. Change what you are asking for-add more information. 5. REMEMBER: A name. A date, A place, a Marriage, a Parish, something to help narrow down the search. The Feramanagh 1659 census will be under a seperate message; To Those that know who I am, I AM BACK AND LOADED WITH INFORMATION AND READY TO POST IT.

It is 25 days untill St Patrick's Day . That gives the amatures three more weekends to get in shape. A True Irishman/Irish woman celebrates being Irish all year long. Remember: If God had wanted the Irish to rule the world, He would never have invented Wiskey and other strong drink.

Hi crawford, The book is called "The Parish of Devenish, county Fermanagh. Materials for its history" by Rev William B Steele BA Printed by the Fermanagh Times in Enniskillen 1937. I've been on the lookout for a second hand copy for ages and haven't been able to find one. The Library in Enniskillen have a copy and very kindly photocopied pages for me. Rev Steele was a Protestant minister (rector of Devenish and I believe he also taught in the Royal Protora school - possibly headmaster if my memory serves me right). The book is therefore very Protestant in it's material. As several people have pointed out in emails to the list , the 1841 census in his book only gives the names of Protestants. No ages either , but it does list the head of the house , wife and children. To those people who wanted lookups - I'll respond shortly!! Good luck in your research. Helen
