I am searching for information relating to my Grandfather Joseph Moore. I understand that he was one of possibly nine siblings and that one of his brothers was a minister in a church in the Lisnaskea/Enniskillen area. This would probably be a Church of Ireland and from my GrF's birth date I would guess that he would have served in the church from around 1905 through 1935. If there is anyone who would have access to any contacts in the Church of Ireland in this area or who has any information on the Moore family, I would appreciate their help. The information that I do have on my Gr.. Father is as follows: Joseph Moore was born 3/13/1878. Joseph's father, John Moore was a farmer in Barnfield, District of Cloyne, Union of Middleton, Co. Cork, at the time of Joseph's birth in March of 1878. Joseph died 12/9/1936 at 58 years of age. He married Martha Jane McClintock 2/26/1908. At the time of his marriage to Martha McClintock, Joseph Moore was a landstewart in Drumgoon. His father, John, and Martha's father, Charles McClintock, were farmers in Aughinure. George Plair and Annie McClintock witnessed the marriage which is recorded in the registrar's office in Lisnaskea. Martha was born 5/18/1890. Martha was the daughter of Charles McClintock and Mary Douglas. Have a very Happy Christmas, Ian

Hi - Looking for the Irish parents and siblings of George RANKIN, b. 1818 in Pettigoe, Co Fermanagh, Ireland and married to Mary Anne GRAHAM, probably in Dec 1837 in Drumkeeran, also FER. They emigrated to New South Wales, Australia in 1838, and are my ggGrandparents - I have all their direct descendants and many others on my genealogy (see http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/Workshop/2299 ) for further details. George's father was John Rankin - I have no further details on him except that he lived in Pettigoe when George was born. I'm very interested in finding out more about John, George's mother, his siblings, any descendants of theirs, Mary Anne Graham's family etc - in other words, all about them. I'm happy to share all I have on their descendants - anyone out there with a match? Best regards, Alex Rogers

I am looking for any information I can obtain about FRANCIS (FRANK)ANDERSON born 1864 in Northern Ireland. It is believed he came to Canada from Fermanagh County sometime before 1894. In Canada, probably in the town of Franklin, Victoria County, he married EMMA LYTLE and they had a daughter, Annie Elizabeth, born September 23, 1896 in Franklin. From family discussions, sometime after the marriage they went back to Frank's home for a visit, From this I ascertain there were still relatives living there. Frank and Emma were my husband's grandparents. If any of this sounds familiar, would appreciate hearing from you. Marjorie Fisher, a Canadian living in California. mfish@pacbell.net

Ian, did you post also to the Co. Fermanagh list? You might also want to post to the Co. Tyrone and Co. Monaghan lists since I think Clogher parish overlaps those counties too. Seems like a lot of us have McClintocks in those areas. With only 20 families named McClintock in the 1860 Griffiths Valuation for Co. Tyrone, we have got to have some common lines someplace.

Twas the night before Christmas when all through the house Not a creature was stirring, not even my spouse. The dining room table with clutter was spread With pedigree charts and with letters which said... "Too bad about the data for which you wrote Sank in a storm on an ill-fated boat." Stacks of old copies of wills and the such Were proof that my work had become much to much. Our children were nestled all snug in their beds, While visions of sugarplums danced in their heads. And I at my table was ready to drop >From work on my album with photos to crop. Christmas was here, and of such was my lot That presents and goodies and toys I forgot. Had I not been so busy with grandparents’ wills, I'd not have forgotten to shop for such thrills. While others bought gifts that would bring Christmas cheer; I'd spent time researching those birthdates and years. While I was thus musing about my sad plight, A strange noise on the lawn gave me such a great fright. Away to the window I flew in a flash, Tore open the drapes and I yanked up the sash. When what to my wondering eyes should appear? But an overstuffed sleigh and eight tiny reindeer. Up to the housetop the reindeer they flew, With a sleigh full of toys, and old Santa Claus too. And then in a twinkle, I heard on the roof The prancing and pawing of thirty-two hoofs. The TV antenna was no match for their horns; Just look at our roof with hoof-prints adorned. As I drew in my head, and bumped it on the sash, Down the cold chimney fell Santa - KER-RASH! Dear Santa had come from the roof in a wreck, And tracked soot on the carpet, (I could wring his short neck!) Spotting my face, good old Santa could see I had no Christmas spirit, you'd have to agree. He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work And filled all the stockings, (I felt like a jerk). Here was Santa, who'd brought us such gladness and joy; When I'd been too busy for even one toy. He spied my research on the table all spread "A genealogist!" He cried! (My face was all red!) "Tonight I've met many like you", Santa grinned. As he pulled from his sack a large book he had penned. I gazed with amazement - the cover it read "Genealogy Lines for Which You Have Plead." "I know what it's like as a genealogy bug," He said as he gave me a a great Santa Hug. "While the elves make the sleighful of toys I now carry, I do some research in the North Pole Library! A special treat I am thus able to bring, To genealogy folks who can't find a thing. Now off you go to your bed for a rest, I'll clean up the house from this genealogy mess." As I climbed up the stairs full of gladness and glee, I looked back at Santa who'd brought much to me. While settling in bed, I heard Santa's clear whistle, To his team which then rose like the down of a thistle And I heard him exclaim as he flew out of sight, "Family History is Fun! Merry Christmas! Goodnight!" (don't know who wrote it)

Hi! Yesterday I went to FHC to view the microfilm on Clogher Clergy and Parish #1696604. This book has MANY people listed and for some of them there is even information the last name of the wife. I highly recommend this microfilm! There were three REA's listed: pg 102 and 137 Alexandar REA, inst. July 6, 1875 (D.R.) ard, D. 1870, P. 1871 Down, C. Aghadrumsee 1873-5, res.

My great grandfather James Irving Armstrong lived in Birkenhead. He died on board the Thetis Submarine in 1939. I cannot obtain a death certificate (none were issued!) or marriage certificate, as I do not know where he was married. I do not know his parents names, but believe they were from the Fermanagh area, and that possibly he was born there circa 1900. I know it's not much to go on, but I'm stuck. Does anyone have any links to the Armstrongs that might help. Cheers, Mark. PS his wifes name was Lillian Owen. Mark Armstrong Mark Armstrong marmst@globalnet.co.uk

Thanks to David Black making me aware of it, I have an entire chapter from a book on the Fermanagh County Carrothers family and the migration of some of them to Canada, with references to several family members, one in Fermanagh, with extensive genealogical and family historical information. I will be making phone calls tonight; found the phone numbers of the two in Canada, not the one in Ireland. Wish to trade with other people with information on Fermanagh Carruthers, Cauthers, Cathers. Yours, Dora Smith

I have posted this before, but here is hoping that someone can help. I am trying to find information about an Oliver Wallace or any of his family. The information I have is that he was born about 1832 in Enniskillen, Fermanagh Ireland. His parents were Oliver Wallace and Elizabeth (Bessie) Carr. I think Bessie's mother was called Catherine Nixon. If ANYONE can help I would appreciate it Helen Avaient Brisbane Australia bears@one.net.au

I just wanted to let people know that I don't need that Cuthers lookup any more; I got it. Thanks, Dora ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com

My Montgomery ancestors settled in Fermanagh in mid 1600's. John Montgomoery was in Bellyconnel and his brother, Col. Alexander Montgomery m. Elizabeth Cole. Through marriage to her, he became owner of Balleyleek of the Cole lands. His oldest son was Thomas Montgomery the father of General Richard Montgomery. Our ancester was a younger son, Reverend Robert of Brandrum (wife unknown). His eldest son, Alexander Montgomery emigrated to America and settled in Stamford, CT. (Grenwich) where he married Sarah Locckwood, the daughter of Gershom Lockwood III and Mary Ferris. Does Balleyleek still exists. That is spelling our family has used for some century or more. Is there a place called Brandrum. Is it a Parish or part of an extate owned by Robert's uncle John? Any information on the Montgomerys of Fernabagh who came over from Ayreshire, Scotland will be appreciated. Betti Paull of Florida

Hello, I am new to this list and to the search for family. My Great Grandfather on my mother's side was from the community of McGuire's Bridge in Fermanagh. Has anyone ever heard of that community? Any information on sources of information in that area would be appreciated. Cheers Bill

Dora, Some of the Carruthers family is well documented in a book called Irish Emigration and Canadian Settlement. Patterns, Links and Letters. It is authored by Cecil Houston and William Smyth.The book devotes about 45 pages to the family including letters back and forth from Fermanagh to Canada. The book states that there is a series of these letters in the PRONI. Here is an excerpt. "The Carrothers family had emigrated from Scotland in 1602. Slowly, in generational steps, they made their way to Brookeborough in County Fermanagh. In 1769 Nathaniel and Joseph's grandfather, Edward, left Brookeborough, established two of his sons on a farm at Bracky, and in turn established himself and two other sons in neighbouring Farnaght. The next generational moves were those of seventeen of Edward's grandchildren to Upper Canada. Subsequently, the westward trend to the pacific continued. The letters of Nathaniel and Joseph suggest, and the family's history confirms, that the children of the emigrants to British North America continued the patters of their parents' pioneering and migratory life. Many of them took part in the western move of Ontarions after 1870...... Some of this family also went to Australia. The Carrothers letters mention 27 other family names who emigrated from this area just south of Enniskillen to the same places in Ontario. You can probably find this book at the library in St. Catherines. David Black

Oh Learned Ones, I ordered and received from FHS #0100266 Surname Index - R - Ireland Land and Property Index. What I want to know is WHAT do I have and how do I find the information from this? Here is a sampling: Surname Column 1 Column 2 Column 3 Column 4 Column 5 REA Alexander Rea 331 107 221000 do do 331 108 221001 do (?) Caldwell 342 266 229955 and on and on...... What do these columns stand for? There was never an explanation for them. I copied two pages of REA's and the one RAE that was listed. I had thought that FHS #1279325 Ireland Land and Property Fermanagh would somehow correlate to the Index. WRONG. All that was, was narratives on landed estates in Counties: Armagh, Fermanagh, Londonderry and Tyrone. Please direct me in my next step to use the information that I copied and what it means. Thank you SO much for your help! Regards, Mary McG in Tennessee researching: REA

Hi everyone. I am new to this list and very glad to see it! I have several ancestors from this area, but will start with Ormston first as I have the most information on them. Thomas Ormston lived in the Newtown Butler area. I don't have his birthday, but I believe his father was named Thomas as well, and he would have been born about 1800. I know the name is Scottish and may be spelled Ormeston or Ormiston, but I don't have any idea when the family came to Ireland. Thomas married Jane Graham, born 1800, on Thursday, 7 Sept , 1826 at noon in an "Episcopal" church in Newtown Butler. They were married by The Rev John Greydon. They had four children, Thomas, Elizabeth, Sarah, and Ralph before leaving for the United States. In 1837 they left on a six weekjorney and ended in Ripley, Brown County, Ohio. There they had George, Margaret and John F W. Thomas, the son, died at 19 or 20. Ralph was killed in the Civil War, George died at age 11, and John at 19. I don't know if Ralph had children before his death. I don't think so, as my Granddad remembered his saber being in his grandmother's parlor when he was a child. I am descended from Elizabeth who married Henry Hayes and they lived along the Ohio river, near Ironton, OH. I would like more information on this family and hope to find some cousins out there. Thanks Barbara Prior Jameson Marksnana@juno.com Monument, CO We think that Thomas, the one born about 1800, may have had a sister named Isabella who married Thomas Armnstrong three years after Thomas and Jane were married. This couple moved to Australia. ___________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.

I wonder if someone with that home version of the Mormon IGI for Great Britain, the Great Britain VR Index or whatever they call it, could please do me a favor. I went to the library today and downloaded all the info on Cauthers, Cathers, and for Carruthers; Andrew, John, Matthew, Samuel and Thomas (seems to be the most relevant names). This name has more spellings. I forgot Cuthers, which I'm told the people I'm trying to trace specifically used. Could someone please download christenings and marriages for all Cuthers for all of UK; all of the people with this name come from Scotland, the majority of them lived in England, mine could have ended up anywhere in Ireland from anywhere, and I'm trying to trace four lines now, one is from Scotland, but I strongly suspect that they and my Irish line are related. At the Library and the FHL's, one can save this information to an ascii text file up to 200 items long; hopefully, one can do that on the home CD's too. If the Cuthers are inextractably in with the much more common Cathers, or if there unexpectedly turn out to be hundreds of them, please tell me that, I'll have to go back to the library. I found a fair but not overwhelming number of Cathers in the UK (different story in Scotch-Irish sections of the US), and only a few Cauthers. I can share my stuff on Carruthers (all spellings), Cauthers and Cathers with anyone who needs it. Yours, Dora Smith

I have new information on my Cauthers ancestors from Enniskillen; I have Samuel Cauthers, born in Ireland about 1802 est from his age at death; he married in Montreal in a Presbyterian church in 1824. Seems all lines of Cauthers were Carruthers until not long before coming to U.S. and Canada; some used Cuthers for a time. So I'm looking for these surnames as well. Some in Enniskillen also used the name Cathers. And all from Drumfries County or something in Scotland. It seems huge numbers of them were actually among the Scotch-Irish waves to the US, most wore the name Cathers. Idon't know for a fact that my Cauthers came from Enniskillen; that is just where all the OHTER lines of Cauthers in this country but the one who says their forbear was from Scotland came from, and the one place where Cauthers historically shows up. But the other forms of the name were all over Ireland, seemingly especially in Tyrone and Donegal. What they were doing in Donegal (isn't that in Southern Ireland?) I do not know. Yours, Dora Smith

I just had a look at the IreAtlas Townland data base,and found my lost Townland Mullynagowan in the civil parish of Galloon.I apologize for not having a second look before sending out the request for help. This list is so helpful,and it is certainly appreciated. Regards Beth
