In Protestant N. Ireland if a man deserted his wfe in the 1850's could they get a divorce? How would this be carried out and recorded? If a woman left her husband for reasons of abuse or negligence, during the same period of time, could she get a divorce and remarry? Again, how would she go about this and where would it be recorded? Thanks again folks. Yours, Doug --------------------------------- Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! Finance - Get real-time stock quotes

The same researcher as with the HERRON question advised me that I should be able to locate an old rent book containing the name Thomas Humphreys. Again, the notes are hardly readable. However, she tells me that the community where she saw it is near Enniskillen, has a very small museum and has had its name changed recently. What I could make out in the notes is a place name written phonetically as KINARON or KINARG. The only names on any web list that seem to come close are KEENAGH AND KENMARE. Does anyone know of a searchable database that would show name changes, or a government office one can e-mail to make enquiries? Here in Canada there is a web site and one can go further and talk to a toponomist as well for more details. Any suggestsions, will be gratefully received. :-) This is another dilly of a question, eh? Yours, Doug --------------------------------- Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! Finance - Get real-time stock quotes

An old traveller told me that in her searches had come across an old family Bible with information on a marriage and family of Thomas Humphreys(ies). Her scribbled notes indicate that the family name of the Bible's owners is HERRON. A Humphreys married into this family. I think the first name is GUSTEVE or Gustav. It's hard to make out The only other word given is LANEEG. I don't know if that is a place or a name. However, it appears to be the phonetic spelling of a place. This is about the worst set of clues I have had, but I have to run with it. Is there anyone on the web interested in a name like HERRON. Any help would be much appreciated.

He was High Constable and Collector for the barony of Glenawly, county Fermanagh, for many years. Deceased was universally esteemed as an honest, upright character. ----- ROBBERY.--On Friday last a woman entered the shop of Mr. Ralph Copeland, and took with her several valuable articles, after which she went to Mr. Kerrin, pawnbroker, who received them from her, and immediately informed Mr. Copeland, and had her detected on the spot. This is a general practice carried on in the town by those idle vagabonds that frequent our shops on fair and market days when they find the shopkeepers in the throng of business. ======================================== This reprint is intended SOLELY for the non-commercial use of family historians, with the sincere hope that a Lister may find the content useful.

Hi Rita in NJ: Thank you for the address and instructions. Will do! Sylvia, in Virginia

May I recommend the following website for those interested in individual Military records at the Public Records Office in England: http://catalogue.pro.gov.uk/ Simply type a surname of interest in Box #1 (e.g. MAGUIRE). Do not enter any information in Box #'s 2 and 3 on your first try. You will receive the most hits this way. Based on the results, you can narrow your search the next time.

I agree with Dick Kiernan, if we could have some sort of reconstruction maybe we could get it right next time. I believe it was as Frank Carson said "the Presbyterians". Jason Mills

Hello Everyone: In the above-mentioned book, there is the following (sorry, I did not keep the page numbers): "In 1794, the vestry met for the purose of making provisions for the wives and children of such persons who had been ballotted into the Fermanagh Militia, belonging to the parish. 10 pounds to be levied. In 1975, the vestry met for the purpose of assessing the parish with 6 pounds per man, for the quota to be furnished by the Parish of Enniskillen to make up the augmentation of the militia prescribed by the Act of Parliament, during the Great War with France. In 1806, the vestry met for laying on money to compensate the parish officer for providing the quota of men to be furnished by the parish under the defense. It was agreed to assess 16 shilling 6 d." Would anyone know if there exists, in the parish records, a list of the "families" who received any of the above "provisions"? Or a list of the men who comprised the "quota" of men, from the parish, for the defence? Also, does anyone know if these men were sent to Arragh, Co. Cavan, where there was a barracks and stables for the cavalry, apparently???? Would the military records of these men be held in London? Thank you, Sylvia Robinson-Leonard, in Virginia (searching WHITELY).
