One last question before I decide to make a major purchase. My ancestor Hugh Corrigan migrated back in 1856. Is there any reference to Corrigans dating back that far in this book ? Thank you for your help ! Leisa Chasse

I am interested in any information on the Armstrong name connected to Fermanagh prior to 1775. Kaye Powell kaye@psnw.com

The 1901 census lists my GGrandmother Mary LONGIN and her daughter Catherine as living in the Townland of Drummal,Parish of Derryvillan.Could someone check the 1911 census and see if they are still located there? Also is the townland and parish listed anywhere near Irvinestown or Enniskillen? TIA Jean

Happy New Year to all on the list from HOT Australia. Could the very kind person doing the lookups in their Fermanagh Story book see if they can find reference to James ARMSTRONG b 1789 m Jane MOORE (b 1798) Aghavea Church 24 April 1823. James and Jane had 8 children: Mary Jane b 1894 Kilkeel Frances Margaret Anne Jane d 21 Apr 1886 Aghavea John Moore b 6 April 1824 d 29 Dec 1867 Belfast George b 1825 Brookeborough Susan Eleanor b 1826 Brookeborough d 1874 James b 1828 Brookeborough Moses b 14 April 1834 Brookeborough Montgomery b 1 Nov 1835 Aghavea, Brookeborough James ARMSTRONG was the coroner for Brookeborough from approximately 1848-1864. I would be interested in any information on he or his family, as my husband's Grt Grandfather James Alexander ARMSTRONG bc 1870 is descended from either his sons Moses or Montgomery, but can't establish which one, nor a place/country of birth (could be Canada, US or Nth Ireland). I would be grateful for any help or suggestions the LIST has. Regards...Jenny..Kyneton..Vic...Australia.

Could someone who has a copy of the Fermanagh book look to see if the names GLENN and or RONEY are included please? TIA Penny Parker Alberta, Canada

Can anyone tell me if the book contains any prominent mention of the Cassidys of Fermanagh? Tom

This isn't the first request asking the person that is looking up info in the Fermanagh Story to do it again! Could you help me, please? We have searched for years on info on my grandmother and just now seem to be making some progress. Her name is Sarah Stephenson, born Jan. 27,1886 in Ederney, near Irvinestown in Fermanagh at Dernaserk or maybe Derrynaserk. Her mother was Eliza Anne Stephenson - her father was unamed. Eliza's father could have been Thomas Stephenson and her mother could have been Margaret Slevin. Sarah came to Boston when she was a young girl, around 8, with her aunt, a Ms. M'Whinney. Sarah is on the census as living with her husband, LeRoy Patchin, in Newton City, Mass. I'd love some help with this. Thank you - JstPlnBeky@aol.com

Hell Sheamus Adding to the list of names - can you tell me if the Bartons or Harts of Clonelly House near Kesh are featured at all? I checked out the site for Hannas Books and they appear to have copies in stock but I need to see if this family are featured before I go buying!! Thanks Jan Hart janhart@webleicester.co.uk

As per all of the inquires about "The Fermanagh Story" Try Fred Hanna's bookstore at the following URL: http://www.hannas.ie/ They appear to have a good supply. I got 2 copies about 6 months ago, I ordered online and received them in about 5 days. -- Arlan Maguire

I would appreciate if those concerned having "The Fermanagh Story" book if you could check for the names of Graham & Lavelle (or similar spelling). Many thanks. Ruth

Hi Carol: First try www.amazon.com and then www.barnesnoble.com and see if they have access to it. If not, I would try Kenny's Bookstore in Galway at www.kennys.ie/ and fred Hanna's in Dublin at www.hannas.ie/ Check the list at both stores and if not found, write a note to Fred Hanna and to Des Kenny....they will answer you right away and let you know if it can be found. I know it has been out of print, but usually someone can find it. You will find it expensive, but it is well worth it to have it in your library....especially since you are a McGuire!! ;-0 It has a lot of "our" history!! Good luck...I am sure you will find a copy. You might also want to check with Waterhouse...they are international book dealers..check the yellow pages Maureen Maloney At 07:12 PM 1/1/99 -0500, Mymistiblu@aol.com wrote: >I am a descendant of the McGuire family and I would love to purchase a copy of >this book.......if you could help in any way I would appreciate it >Thanks in advance Carol > >

Looking for Judy Bogusky (I think that's the name) who wanted info on McCaffrey's. Sorry, Judy, one of those things that happens to computer users once in a while just happened! I completely lost your message and name/address, don't know how but I did. If you can contact me again there is considerable info on the McCaffrey family, they are listed as the sixth most common family in Fermanagh today.

Derrygonnelly..... I have a photocopy of an article, "The Village on the Sillies", sent by a friend in Western Australia. The article is pp20-37 from a book (and here I begin to rely on a semi-legible pencilled annotation on the photocopy...) entitled "GLIMPSES OF OLD DERRYGONNELLY" by William K ????ke?. I would assume this was William K PARKE , who wrote "THE PARISH OF INISHMACSAINT" (published 1982, The Select Vestry, Parish of Inishmacsaint; printed by Graham and Sons (Printers) Ltd., Gorlin Road, Omagh, Co. Tyrone): very interesting reading, lots of good information (with the occassional factual error). If anyone knows where there is a full copy of "GLIMPSES OF OLD DERRYGONNELLY" I would appreciate knowing ross beattie sunny sydney (though showers are forecast - would have to be since the Fifth Test Match in the current Ashes cricket series between England and Australia is due to start here in 3h 36m) > ---------- > From: Caiside@aol.com[SMTP:Caiside@aol.com] > Sent: Saturday, 2 January 1999 3:56 > To: FERMANAGH-L@rootsweb.com > Subject: Belcoo area, Co Fermanagh > > Ok Shamrockers and Fermanaghites, here's my look-up offer: > > If anyone has family from the Belcoo area, they may be interested in the > book > "If Only: Historical Sketches of the Belcoo Area" published by the Belcoo > & > District Historical Society.

I am a descendant of the McGuire family and I would love to purchase a copy of this book.......if you could help in any way I would appreciate it Thanks in advance Carol

There are a couple of brief references to individual Corrigans, e.g. an Andrew Corrigan, also a Thomas Corrigan listed along with some 48 others as being Nationalist spokesmen arrested in 1922. There is also a paragraph on the Corrigan family. It lists the Corrigans as being number 25 in rank of Fermanagh families having some 173 voters in Fermanagh at time of writing, 1969.

Have been reading your queries about this book " THE FERMANAGH STORY" Does anyone know if it lists Corrigan's ?

Ok Shamrockers and Fermanaghites, here's my look-up offer: If anyone has family from the Belcoo area, they may be interested in the book "If Only: Historical Sketches of the Belcoo Area" published by the Belcoo & District Historical Society. I bought mine from the Tourist Office in Enniskillen several years ago. It is a very rich history of the area, including maps, school photos, and lots of narratives from old folks remembering.... If anyone wants a look-up in its index email me privately. But you must have a SPECIFIC name, not "all the McGowans" . There are also references to townlands in the index, so if you know the townland you could ask about that. Now if there was only a book like this for the Derrygonnelly area...<sigh> Janet

The family name info this book contains is mostly of general bios of each of the Fermanagh names, (both original and British), and references to individuals when their names appear in accounts of particular incidents. Unless you are researching one of the big planter families, you probably will not find info on your actual line--then again, some people will be lucky! But you might want to consider getting it anyway. Even though it is a rather rambling hodgepodge sort of book, it has lots of history of the area and is valuable mainly for that. It will fill in your background knowledge about the county. If your family came from Fermanagh you should have it in your collection. Janet C-S

Hi! Have been looking over the queries regarding the book 'The Fermanagh Story'. Before I purchase it; could the owner of the book tell me if there is any reference to the following two family lines: COOGAN or FAHEY ? Thanks, Steve
