It *could* be Donegal. Maybe "Bult" is the way the census taker heard the townland? Would have to check what it might really be. Thats my best guess so far. Janet

Dear Mr. Flanagan, I had thought that all messages on the web-site were personal messages! I am not the New host for the County! I am not the deomon (sic) who has been replying and causing messages to bounce! I would have thought that from the text of the message that I sent it would be obvious to anybody who had an interest in family history or computers that my message would have no effect on bouncing messages! Incidentally my letter brought forward a most friendly letter from DeAnna giving me full explanation of her interest! It also brought forward another letter from someone with an interest in the MCGUIRE/MAGUIRE family! With regard to your second letter and the question why did you use the Fermanagh page to send a message to DeAnna?????????" I had thought that the Fermanagh page was a very appropriate web-site to contact someone who has an interest in families from Fermanagh! I hope that satisfies your inquiries! Do you want to know any more????????

This is my first posting to this list, hope I've formulated it correctly. Is anyone researching or has anyone come across the families of William ELLIOT, born c 1838 [father Archibald, a farmer] or Mary INGRAM, born c1839 [father David, a butcher] who were married in Lowtherstown, Parish of Derryvullen on the 9th November 1857. I think Williams mother was a Mary JOHNSON and Mary's mother was Christina McKnight from an entry in the IGI for Ireland but no other information was contained in the IGI. Thanks in advance Regards Pat and Ken Researching ELLIOTT, FREW & MILLIGAN IN SW SCOTLAND. CORCORAN, ELLIOT, HART & INGRAM all < 1892 IN IRELAND.
Hi All, Can someone translate this for me??? Thank you! "Bult Done Gal" Ronnie mira@eagledesign.com
Looking for any information about my great great grandfather James GRAHAM. According to family and other records he was from Enniskillen, Co. Fermanagh. He was born ca 1801, married ca 1822 to Elizabeth ADAMS also apparently from the same place. They had 7 children that I know of, all born in Enniskillen. In birth order (I think) : Elizabeth, Jane, James, Mary, John, William (my great grandfather) and Annie. According to what records I can find they came to Hastings Co., Ontario, Canada in 1847 or 8. Apparently the whole family came over. I know for certain that James, Mary, William and Annie were in Ontario in 1851. I would really appreciate any information on the Graham family and the Adams family. My Mother claimed that the Adams were the family of Maude Adams the noted actress, but I don't know that for sure. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Richard Jones archbar@aol.com
I am researching Hugh Wilson who came to Australia in 1857 from Drumkeeran his parents were Robert and Cathrine Wilson nee Little. Any help would be appreciated. Bronwyn Newton
Hello all, I am new to the list, but would like to ask if anyone has any Archdale or Archdall ancestors. I have assembled records of about 250 Irish Archdales and am keen to try and assemble information about the families they married into. If you have an Archdale or Archdall ancestor, please let me know and I will tell you what I can. Peter Archdale (Researching all Archdales and Archdalls anywhere, anywhen)

Would like to contact anyone researching John ELLIOTT (1808-1888) who emigrated to Wolford Township, Ontario, Canada ca 1840 with wife Jane PHILLIPS (1810-1848) and children Mary Ann, Francis and Thomas. John is possibly the same John ELLIOTT who was christened in Galloon Parish Church of Ireland April 8th, 1810 with parents shown as Francis Elliott and Mary Gram (possibly Graham) of Artanagh Townland, Co. Fermanagh but I have been unable to confirm this. Bill Elliott Alberta, Canada
B. c. 1807 Monongham, Co Fermanagh, NI. Served in British Army. Emigrated to Ontario, Canada after army service. Died of rabies in about 1850. I am not at home to review records for complete dates but would love to start answering some of my questions re: Beatty and family. Evelyn Hemphill Glenn, grans@pacbell.net.
Probably not born in IFermanagh [Scotland per 1871 Ontario Canada census] but raised in Fermanagh. Mother's maiden name was [Margaret] Carleton. Probe in Fermanagh could find no John Gibson, yet we own a letter telling of days playing at Maguire's Bridge, etc. His father George was in British army stationed Buckingham Palace. Had two sisters, one Maria. John's birth 1813. He joined Irish Fusiliers at age 16 and after discharge traveled to Ontario Canada and then on to British Columbia for remainder of life. John and sisters were baptized in a church in Fermanagh. Writing to churches in area has brought no answers. I am "housesitting" so do not have dates with me. Will be back in Oceanside, California next week. E-mail address is: grans@pacbell.net. Any help will be GREATLY APPRECIATED.
DeAnna, I saw on the web that you were unsubscrbing from the MAGUIRE page. It seemed logical to me that you have an interest in the MAGUIRE/MCGUIRE family so I thought I would write and ask if you can see any relationship with our MCGUIRE mob. The 2g grand-parents of my wife came to Australia in 1853. The father was Patrick with parents Thomas and Ann (Nancy) ARMSTRONG varcoe and both had died before 1853. The mother was Ann (e) MCCORMACK, parents Owen and Susan SMITH. Owen was alive in 1853. They came with five children: Susan b1830, Andrew b1833, Thomas b1836, Anne b1839 and Rose b1842. We found out later that Patrick and Ann had left four children who had died back in Ireland. Do you see any connection? Regards. John.
