I am hoping that someone with knowledge of researching USA and Canada may be able to assist me. I will be in Montreal for ten days as from 7th Feb. Would there be any death records or shipping records of Boston which I could access from Montreal? I have ANNIE MCKNIGHT died Boston 1852 of consumption contracted in Ireland. Her sister, CATHERINE arrived in Australia in 1841 but I do not know when ANNIE arrived in Boston. A brother, GEORGE, also died of consumption in Sep. 1853. They came from Irvinestown, Fermanagh. Any help would be much appreciated if possible before 5th. Sincerely, Helen Harris [email protected]

Dear Listers: My ggrandparents, Owen Gallagher and Mabel Monaghan, were married at the above church in Nov., 1866. Can anyone tell me if the church still exists and to whom I would write for their marriage certificates and for the baptismal certificates of their children? Thanks in advance, Mary McAuliffe Nigro

Can anyone give me any information regarding Ardeth? Believe it is or was a village or town in Fermanagh, probably near Enniskillen. Val (McClelland) Anderson

You think your Elliotts came from Scotland On a map of the Border area of Scotland and England of 1600.s [reiver map] there is the name Elliott so If you are interested get the book THE STEEL BONNETS by George McDonald Fraser ISBN0 00 272746 3 try your library as I purchased mine in 1997 and it could be out of print by now Nita in Australia

I have been wanting to learn the marriage details of my g.g.grandfather JOHN REID (born 1808 at Gortaree or Aghatirourke/Rorkfield, Killesher Parish) to MARY MOFFIT/MOFFAT during the period 1827-1836. I unfortunately have no information about Mary, and was wondering if there were any indexes for the Church of Ireland marriages for Killesher Parish that someone had access to ? This first wife died sometime between 1837-1847, but I have not been able to find any reference to her death/burial either - one mysterious lady. Thank you for any assistance or suggestions.

Hi everybody. It is very exciting to think that this e-mail is going to be read by people who eventually may be able to fill in gaps, but also to give me understanding where my ancestors came from. My parents are both deceased and now that I have retired it has given me the urge to trace the male side of my family. I was told that way back say around 1800 approx this ancestor left the family home in Moher and came to England and settled in St Helens Lancashire where I was born. Not knowing the exact birth date of my father I decided to look in the Census of 1832 for England and noticed that it recorded a Henry Kells who was born in Ireland who lived in St Helens. I know that I will have to work back to that date but it has got me very interested. I wonder whether any body with knowledge of Moher can tell me whether there are people there with the surname Kells.or possibly descendants. Also I would like to try and gain knowledge of the area so I would welcome any help. At present we live in the Trowbrige area which is near Bath. Thank you in anticipation. Kind regards Fred G Kells _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

There were plenty of ports in those years nearby...Sligo, Ballyshannon, Londonderry/Derry, Belfast, Glasgow...later Cobh or Queenstown in Cork. There are many Passenger List Records of these ports...not yet on the ISTG web site...but recorded in various local books ("Memory Harbor, The Port of Sligo", McTiernan for one)and some on Broderbund CDs. It was very likely that they were married just before leaving. What isn't as likely was the Cork to Fermanagh connection or immigration.

Lannom [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, January 31, 2001 8:25 PM To: [email protected] Subject: CO FERMANAGH / CO CORK QUESTION I live in the USA and just checked a map of Ireland Counties closely for the first time. I found my gg-grandfather, John Breen, and his father - my ggg-grandfather, David Breen, listed in Griffiths Valuation in Co Cork. I found a marriage record for my John Breen and wife Ellen Logan in Enniskillen, Co Fermanagh. Their first child was born in the US in Ohio in 1861. Could it be possible John and Ellen Breen married in Enniskillen, Co Fermanagh just before they immigrated to the US? Is there a common Port of Departure near there? I havn't found many ships sailing in the years 1860/1861 from Ireland to the US. Thank you. Carole Lannom

Marion, Elliots or Ellots were very common names at the Plantation of Ulster (abt. 1609). There were many listed on the Fermanagh Muster Rolls of 1631 (see W.C. Trimbles' "History of Enniskillen"). From W.K Parke's book "The Parish of Inishmacsaint", p. 13, The Plantation, "George Hume was created the Earl of Dunbar in 1605...(George Hume's brother John Hume) received a grant of 2000 acres called Ardgort...near Slavin...in July 1610." On p. 14 and 15 there is more about the Dunbars of Derrygonnelly followed by a Dunbar Family Tree on p. 24. Sir John Dunbar built the church at Derrygonnelly in 1627. Bill

Be careful--you can't assume that that is them. Breen IS a name common to Co Fermanagh. Do you have other evidence to support the idea that the marriage you found is actually them? Janet C-S

Where have you been looking? There were MANY ships from liverpool to the US in that time, bt few of the lists are on the internet. You have to use microfilmed records, available from the LDS and in many major libraries. Doesn't really matter where they left from tho, as records are kept by port of ARRIVAL. Janet C-S

Hi Marion, Have you checked out the Fermanagh Gold site? http://www.fermanagh.org.uk/goldhome.htm There are a lot of Elliots in the index for the genealogy section. Elliot is a VERY common name in Fermanagh. According to the Fermanagh Story, even at the time of the Plantation they were numerous. With the date of the marriage, I think your best bet is to check C of I churches in Dublin for the marriage record. This may give you parents' names or place of residence in Fermanagh. In checking lists of voters registered in 1839 (listed in the Enniskillen newspaper) , I see a James Elliot, Gentleman, residing at "Crincrannell" holdng lands in Loughgarr, Tattanacunnen, and Coorlahaloon. (Spelling is notoriously inaccurate in these lists!--could it be your Coolcran?) Another Michael Elliot, Gentleman. lived n the same parish (Clones). Hope this helps! Janet C-S
