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

Does anyone know of an equivalent list for Co.Down? Regards, Andrew Scholan Cambridge, England.

Dear all, I would be very grateful if anyone could provide any further leads on the following: Patt Scollin x(2) Mary Thompson m. 9/Sep/1865 Longrob, Devenish, Fermanagh (May well be RC around or before this time, later switch to C of I) offspring: John b. 23/Aug/1866 Ely, Devenish, Fermanagh Maragret b. 1867 ?? Hugh b. 1871 ?? James b. 5/Jan/1873 Patrick FLANEGAN b. 14/Jan/1877 Jeanie b. ?? Patrick has relatives (probably siblings) Hugh & Ann and was a widower at the time of his marriage to Mary Thompson. James emigrated to Scotland by 1901 (m in Glasgow), John remained in Ireland with possibly descendents still in Enniskillen. Surname has various different spellings: SCOLLEN, SCOLAN, SCOLIN, SCHOLAN Regards, Andrew Scholan Cambridge, England.

Fellow Listers, It is my turn to pass around my Irish ancestors, to see if anyone out there might just be looking at some of the same folks. My g-g-grandfather was named James Elliott, born about 1792. He married Anne Jane Dunbar in Dublin in 1834. They produced children, seven of whom reached adulthood, apparently in Coolcrannel. James died in 1852. I am led to believe James had a brother named John , because there was a John Elliott who acted as guardian of the children until 1859. It was at that time that the oldest daughter, my g-grandmother, Annie reached age 21. She married a John Forde (who survived the war in the Crimea) about 1860. Along with the second daughter, Margaret, Annie and John emigrated to Canada. This much has come from old family documents, but I know nothing of James or his parents, and when he came to Ireland from Scotland (I am led to believe that ALL Elliotts came from Scotland). I know nothing of Anne Jane Dunbar except that she was born about 1819. I know nothing so far of Coolcrannel, except that it is nearby to Maquiresbridge. I am all but certain they were Cof I. I know further, through letters to my grandfather from the oldest son, John, that he had emigrated to Liverpool, as had his sister, Mary Jane, I have learned through reading in this list that there are a bunch of Elliotts in the neighborhood , as well as a Dunbar or two. Maybe, just maybe, one of you knows one of mine. I suspect Griffith's might not be too helpful, although the land remained in family hands for some time. The Tithe Applotment might very well help. Our state library has neither. I have learned much from all of you and am warmed by the generosity that is displayed in your helping one another. Cordially, Marion Wood Salem, OR

I am looking for connections to the following: William Adams m. May 21, 1882 Enniskillen Roman Catholic Chapel, Parish of Enniskillen, Ireland Mary Jane ( Huston) Hueston Anyone know how to access the marriage info from the above Chapel? I need that to access the names of the parents of the above couple. Joyce

I have the index to Enniskillen, Co. Fermanagh marriages 1846 - 1920 for the surname ADAMS only. Listed by bride or groom I can do lookups if needed. Joyce

I would like to contact the owners/managers of any lists I make a contribution on, that you know of - be it on or off your list. I know some names - I do not have any addresses and I would like to make a non-genealogical post to the mail lists Thank you, Jane

Hi Listers, I just discovered that the PRONI site recently added an inxdex to available church records, both C of I and Presbyterian. Here's the one for the C of I: http://proni.nics.gov.uk/records/private/cofiindx.htm Janet C-S

Now that I have found my gggrandfather in Corraglass, Parish of Cleenish, I wonder if his wife and her family were also from the same area. William Nugent married Catherine Kerr. Could someone tell me if there are any Kerrs listed in Griffith's Valuation around the same area? Many thanks, Elizabeth Hamilton, Ontario

I have been checking out the maps at PRONI for the parish of Cleenish. I think I have been following the directions but somewhere along the line I keep ending back at the indexes when I click on OS. Could some kind soul please list explicit directions to see the actual maps of the parishes and townlands etc.?

For a definition, (though a rather confusing one!) see the PRONI site at : http://proni.nics.gov.uk/geogindx/geogindx.htm and click on "glossary of terms." Don't think in terms of "village" or "hamlet." Its a rural division. A townland usually includes several farms, anywhere from one or two to thirty or more, depending on the size of the farm and the size of the townland. In Fermanagh, along with the nearest post town, it is also the person's address, for example: J Smith, Drumgormly, Derrygonnelly, Co Fermanagh. (Drumgormly the townland, Derrygonnelly the nearest post office) Hope this helps, Janet C-S

Thanks to some very helpful folks, I have found my William Nugent in Cleenish Parish, location Corraglass. Could someone please give me more info on Corraglass? Is it a town, or farm? Thanks again Elizabeth

Hi Gary Unfortunately there aren't any Donagh cemetery inscriptions on the Fermanagh Gold site but if you check out the Clogher Historical Assocation at this page http://www.clogherhistoricalsoc.com/html/clogher_record_sub_indx.htm#Anchor- Damhnat-33463 you will see references to inscriptions which were published in the Clogher Record.

If anyone has access to Aghalurcher parish records, i'd like to ask a favor. Three generations of my Noble's are listed on one headstone. I believe the name of the cemetery is Donagh, near the townland of Crocknagoan. Any information on these people would be most appreciated. I have never seen parish records so i don't know what information they would contain. I will list their names and dates of death and hope someone can help. I live in Michigan in the U.S.A. and only have a picture of the headstone. Thank you.

I am trying to locate any info on William Nugent of Mullaghdun, born 1835. Would anyone have acess to Church of Ireland MI's for this area or possibly Griffith's Vauation? I am really reaching as this is all I know about William, Thanks Elizabeth Gibson at [email protected]

My request: Can anyone give me guidance to locate the place, town or area in Fermanagh where my grandfather's family came from? GREATgrandfather was Francis Trainor who married Catherine McElroy (dtr of William &Bridget McElroy) sometime around 1860. They had 9 children that I know of: Francis, William, Patrick (who was my grandfather), Margaret, Daniel, Teresa, Philip & Roseanna. The 9 children & mother Catherine moved to the States, possibly at 2 or 3 different times, settling in Providence, RI. They all remained here, married, raised families & died here. They were Roman Catholic. I don't know what happened to Ggfather, Francis or why he did not come to the States.

Hello Donna. Sorry to say this, but this probably means that you have a lot more research to do in your own country -- from your e-mail address I am guessing that this is the USA. Work backwards through certificates of birth, death and marriage in a direct line. The USA marriage and or death certificates for your original immigrants MIGHT have this info. on them. Similarly, (I am NOT familiar with ANY U.S. state's certificates) the birth certificates for any of their children in the USA might give that info. However, your BEST bet will probably be by finding their original immigration into the country. Then the immigration and shipping records might give this info. Of course, try the usual most basic genealogy methods of seeking out family members who might have old records, the information, etc. You could try a stab in the dark, like the rest of us do at times, of searching Jan HART's Fermanagh Gold site, under the surnames that you are seeking. You never know, you might be in luck if someone has sent in info. which includes your people. (Hint, hint --- and Jan might not appreciate my adding to her workload --- you might be able to add to that site if you transcribe one index or document which you are working on -- to help others too). And of course there is the rootsweb search facility which might also throw something up. I hope that this might help you.
