Looking for any information re.: John McGarrahan, Fermanagh County, Ireland Passenger Sept 30 1837 Ship Caldonia Capt. Coffin Left out of Liverpool settled in Louisiana ( born approx. 1817) Also any info on James McGarrahan born 1849 migrated to US from Liverpool, settled in Pennsylvania, married Elizabeth Meyers in Penn. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. ShanaRuthE@aol.com

Am looking for connections to all of these families especially those that had immigrants to Australia. It should be possible to locate all four families in the same location as it would appear that members of these families travelled together to Australia possibly on 'Maniless' c. 1841 and settled in Shell Harbour, Kiama area of N.S.W. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com

Hi, I'm new to the list. I'm trying to trace any Wherry family connections. My Wherry family ancestors came from the area around the village of Tempo. My g-g-g grandfather came over sometime in mid-1850s, very likely during Famine. Wherry family remained. I know that some still live in NI. Would like to make contact with anybody who has traced their family back to a Wherry connection. Bob Ballston Spa, NY

Does anyone have any info or descendants of the above names: HILLIARD Richard b. ca 1815 Enniskillen, Fermanagh MONTGOMERY, b. ca 1820 Enniskillen, Fermanagh Many thanks Alison Griffith

Hello, I'm searching for any CORRIGAN's in Fermanagh. My gr.gr. grandfather, James CORRIGAN, left Ireland and shows up in Frampton, Quebec at least by 1840. His death record in Michigan, at age 100, states that his father, John CORRIGAN, was from Fermanagh. Anyone with a CORRIGAN connection?? Thanks, Deb

Hi All, I apologise if this has been received before, however, I think I mucked the last one up and you probebly did not receive it. My g-grandmother was Mary ? who came from Co. Fermanagh to New Zealand. She married my g-granfather, Robert MULLENS, a widower, there and they came to Australia soon after the wedding. (Robert grew up in Australia and married his first wife here and they went to New Zealand, where she died). We think Mary was in her early twenties when she married in May, 1877at Lyttleton, NZ. Mary had been in New Zealand a matter of months. We believe she may have arrived there in 1876. Mary's name was recorded in new Zealand as McGOULD/McGOULIE and her age was recorded as 21 and 24. On arriving in Australia, civil records show her name recorded variously as: McGOULD, GOULD, GOLEY, GOLDEN, GOLEY, McGOY. And Cathoic Church records show Mary's maiden name as: MAGUALLEY, McGOLLICK, McGORY, McGAULIC and GORRICK In Brewarrina and Bourke, NSW, Australia. Obviously no one could understand Mary's accent and I guess she could not spell the name for them. Was there a name similar to something in the above which was common in Farmanagh ? Any suggestions as to which may have been Mary's correct name ? I would be most grateful for any Help. With best wishes to all. Elizabeth

I am looking of any family of Oliver WALLACE who was born in 1832 at Enniskillen, Fermanagh, Ireland, parents Oliver Wallace and Elizabeth/Ann/Bessie KERR. Oliver immigrated to Australia aboard the "Cairngorm" which sailed from Plymouth, England and arrived at Portland, Victoria on the 5th of September 1855. Travelling with him was his brother Thomas and his sister Katherine and her husband William Burleigh. They all settled in Victoria and raised families there. Can you help with any information, Cheers, Raelene

I am looking for information on: Johnston REA and Joseph REA The information that I have is from Johnston REA's obituary which reads: He was born in Killybawn, Firmany Co, Ireland, Dec. 24, 1790. He came to America with his mother, sister and brother and landed at St. Johns, N.B., Mar. 11, 1818. I know that it must be County Fermanagh, but have no idea how the town or village name would translate. The US census reports have Johnston born from 1788 to 1797. So, the year of birth is in question. I do not know his mother's or sister's name. I have been able to track the brother as Joseph REA, but have no birthday on him. I wonder if possibly Johnston's mother's maiden name would be JOHNSTON? >From searching in County Fermanagh I find that there were quite a few JOHNSTON's in the area. Any information on the REA's would be greatly appreciated! Regards, Mary McG in Tennessee

Hi Everyone, My g-grandfather, Robert MULLENS, left Co. Fermanagh as a child c1841. He was born about 1839 and arrived in Sydney, Australia, with his parents per "Percy" 28 August, 1841. The trouble is that we have two MULLENS/MULLEN families arriving on the same ship, both settled in the same country town, in NSW, and both brought with them a child named Robert. One boy was 4 on arrival in Sydney, the other was 6. One family was that of Patrick MULLENS/MULLINS and his wife, Francis McCABE. Patrick was born Garvary c1815, son of Roger or Roderick MULLINS and Bridget MAGUIRE. Religion Catholic. Patrick and Francis arrived with the first of the children of their family: Thomas 9, George 7, Robert 4, and Mary Jane 1. The other family, on the same ship, was that of Robert MULLEN later MULLENS/MULLINS, and his wife, Jane. Robert and Jane arrived with the first children of their family: Daniel (old enough to be counted as a seperate immigrant), John 8, Robert 6 and Peter 2. Has anyone any connections to either family? I simply cannot find which family my g-grandfather Robert came from. Descendants of one of the families claim that they are not related. My g-grandfather lied about his age, when as a widower, he married a much younger woman in New Zeland in 1877. Then he varied his age slighly on different records back in Australia. This has made it difficult to work out his year of birth. His death cert. is of no help. Robert's second wife, Mary, could not write, it seems. She does not seem to have known the names of Robert's parents. Although she gave indication that he arrived in Australia as a child. Robert died at Quantambone Station, Brewarrina, NSW, in the 1890's. No, they have no records of employees going back that far, we tried that route. This is a real puzzle. It shows the difficulty many Irish of last century faced when coming to a new country. I would be soooo glad of any help on this one. Elizabeth

Patrick and Francis arrived with children: Thomas 9, George 7, Robert 4 and Mary Jane 1. The other family was Robert Mullen and his wife Jane, name also spelt Mullins Robert and Jane arrived with children: Daniel old enough to be counted as a seperate immigrant, John 8, Robert 6 and Peter 2. Has anyone any connections to either family? I simply cannot find which family my g-grandfather, Robert, came from. Descendants of one of the families claim that they are not related. My g-grandfather later lied about his age when marrying for the second time, he was a widower, and this has made it difficult to decide which age was his true age. He was given to varying it. This is a real puzzle. Elizabeth

My 2x gt-grandmother was Ellen Cadden, born c1845 in Newton Butler to Hugh Cadden and Helen McGuire. She married Patrick Fitzpatrick in 1859 and migrated to Scotland in the late 1860s. I have not found any siblings in Scottish records so suppose they must have remained in Ireland. Anyone have any info. on the family or researching the name in that part of Ireland? Cheers.

Well, I'm off to lovely Fermanagh for vacation and hopefully a step or two of progress on the "roots." I'll keep my eyes open for any new books that would help the group. Janet

Message text written by INTERNET:FERMANAGH-L@rootsweb.com >>I have just found some birthdates on a 1901 Canadian Census for my elusive Irish 3 Grt Grandparents. >>One was born March 17 1827 and the other Oct 28 1827. The year may be off by one poss 1826. >>My question is. Now that I can narrow it down, and they were married in Kinawley Parish. At the time of their marriage in 1846 they were living in aughalurcher and either Dromlone or Dromborry. (After the Droml or b it is unreadable bumps.)<< Hello Joy Irene In Aghalurcher Parish there are 24 townlands that begin Drum . . ., none beginning Drom. There is a Drumbaghlin, and a Drumbrughlas (North and South), and Drumleagues (both Big and Little), Drumliff, and Drumlught that seem to approximate what you have given, or perhaps Drumany, Drumcunny, the only ones that end in y. My list comes from the FHL microfiche #6342443, which also shows maps of the counties and townlands. It cost me 25 cents to have it permanently available at the local FHC. >>Where is the best place to go next. >>Do I try to find out the name of the minister in Derrylin C of I and write sending a donation for looking up a birth record for Mary Browne in March 1826/27 or do I try an on-line search and use a credit card?<< I am not aware of any on-line search for Northern IreIand or even Irish records. Registration was not required until the 1860s, so there may not be a record or the record may have been destroyed.

Suzanne Sommerville In Michigan, USA Rest of original marriage: >>William wasn't born in Ireland but his parents were married and then left for they believe Baltimore. William born in Oct 1827 was their oldest son. Do I look for a marriage record for James McMahon from Aughalurcher poss son of William (Grandpa) 1825-Feb 1827? I have searched the available LDS materials, and either need to Church records or a Historical society? I have not tried to get birth records or marriage records yet from Ireland, other than ones on microfilm from the LDS.

I am trying to trace Cornelius Benjamin Morris, born C1797, who left Ireland about 1840 with his wife Mary (Magee) and six children. Bound for New Zealand, it is believed he was a native of Enniskillen. We are told his wife was born in Dublin. Can anyone help ? He was my Great Great Grandfather and he died in Tasmania. Chris Loring

Have info that James McGuire married Elizabeth Margaret Black in Dublin in 1755. James was born in Fermanagh about 1735, believe his father was named John. He had brothers named: William, John and Archibald. I need a link to his parents and family in Ireland and her family.
