Ah but Bill, You also forgot to mention that not only are you a contributor - you are also the Listowner of the Fermanagh list :-) One thing though that you may not realise, at some stage you set the list properties so that all replies go to the list, I think we all do that at some stage. So, whenever anyone hits the reply to sender icon for this list as with many other rootsweb ones then only the list address comes up - and very many don't even realise they're replying to everyone and not just the one. Then, even if they do realise it many people don't know how to change it. and it's simple folks, all you have to do is delete the list address in the To bar and copy and paste in the address of the original sender.

(I am a "newbie" to this list ---have spent the last 3+ years on the Lanark [shire], Scotland list) ***** My search has been as follows (both maternal and paternal): IRELAND - pre 1850 SCOTLAND - 1850 to 1920 UNITED STATES - 1920 to the present. ***** Owen GUNN and Mary (Kelly) had children circa 1830 and were deceased prior to 1857 ---son's (JAMES) marriage in Coatbridge, Scotland ***** GRIFFITH'S VALUATION - 1848 to 1864 contains the following (COUNTY/PARISH/LOCATION) for Owen GUNN: FERMANAGH/CLONES/KILLYFOYLE MONAGHAN/TEDAVNET/KNOCKNAGEEHA " / " / SHESKIN TITHE APPLOTMENT-1823 TO 1838 has no entries for Owen GUNN ***** High probability that the family was Catholic. ***** On the LATTER DAY SAINTS databases, the IGI computer-accessed file contain the following: Mary Anne GUNN - B. Sep. 24, 1865 - Florence Court, Fermanagh Father - Owen GUNN and Mother - Mary Magrath Catherine GUNN - B. Mar. 24, 1865 - Monaghan, Monaghan Father - Owen GUNN and Mother - Mary McKenna This Owen GUNN may be a son to "my" Owen GUNN SR and a brother to my g-grandfather James. The date of birth would lead you to this conclusion. ***** Thanking you in advance and I hope to be an active member. Jim Gunn Blue Bell, PA - USA (outside of Philadelphia) P.S. I will now start to search the list's archives.

Hello: I am looking for information and source material on Mary Campbell, born 1704 in Brookeboro, County Fermanagh, Ireland, and married to James Armstrong, b.1695 d. 1745... They had 5/6 sons and 2 daughters. Four of his sons eventually settled in PA... Any help or suggestions on where to look would be greatly appreciated...Thanks in advance, Regards, Dee

From: "The Book of Ulster Surnames", by Robert Bell ESBN # 0-85640-405-5 (paperback). Page 122. LITTLE; (also Lyttle) These names can be of English, Scottish or Irish origin and are most common in Dublin and in ULster, especially in Antrim and Fermanagh. The name is, of course, Engl;ish by original derivation and was descriptive of the bearer, froom Old English (lytel), meaning 'small' In Scotland, Little was the name of one of the lesser of the riding clans of the Borders. Neighbors of the Beatties, they were based in Eskdale and Ewesdale in Drumfriesshire and were recorded as one of the unruly clans of the West March in 1587. Little can also be a variant of Liddel, a territorial name from Liddel in Roxburghshire, and indeed the two names were recorded as synonymous in the Poyntzpass district in co Armagh towards the end of the 19th century. At the same time Little was recorded as a synonym of Beggan in co Monaghan. Beggan, Gaelic-(O Beagain or O'Beacain), was the name of a sept of the Clones-Roslea-Donagh area and most of this sept anglicised it to Little. However, it is clear that a large number of members of the riding clans of the Scottish Borders settled in Fermanagh at the time of the Plantation (1609-1620) and settlers called Little were recorded there in the 17th century. It will therefore be difficult, without a confirmed family tree, to determine the origins of any individual.

Would anyone have any info about an old manor house called Snowhill near Eniskillen or the fanilies associated with it in the 1700 and 1800s, Ritchies and Johnsons? --------------------------------- Do You Yahoo!? Sign-up for Video Highlights of 2002 FIFA World Cup

I wonder if SKS could give me some advice. On the 1881 Census in Preston, Lancashire my grandmother's brother William ABBOTT is shown as aged 10, birthplace Fermanagh. Her sister Elizabeth ABBOTT is shown as aged 7, birthplace Belfast. Their parents Peter ABBOTT born in Lancashire and Isabella (nee RUTHERFORD) born in Scotland lived in Ireland for about 5 years, before returning to Preston. Peter was a catholic but Isabella was not. Their children were brought up as catholics. I sent to Ireland for a birth certificate for William born in Fermanagh about 1870/1 but they couldn't find the birth. Is there an 1871 Census for Fermanagh and are there catholic church records available to look for the births of William in Fermanagh and Elizabeth in Belfast? I also have ancestors who were born in Ireland - JAMES COLLINS, b. 1781, married in Preston in 1820 to Margaret Smellie from Scotland. JOHN DUDDY who married CATHERINE GORMAN. Their children were born in Garstang, Lancashire then settled in Preston and PATRICK COMER who married Eliza Jones of Broseley, Shropshire whose children were born in Bilston, Staffs then moved to Worsley near Manchester. If anyone else is researching these families I would love to hear from them. Any help would be very much appreciated. Thank you, Anne

For anyone who may be interested in this letter, the intersection, 43rd and 2nd mentioned may be part of NYC but in the borough of Brooklyn. There were many from Ireland who settled in this area. My own relatives were from the area of 39th and 4th in Brooklyn so be careful if you go looking into NYC records. Just a helpful (hopefully) hint. Janet

I am interested in finding the location of CLOUGH ISLE. My great uncle, James Armstrong, son of Johnston and Jane Armstrong, is listed on the Fermanagh Gold Web Site as having been born there in l864. I have not, however, been able to discover where it is or whether it is a townland etc. A suggestion was made that what might have been referred to was Clannaghisle. Am wondering if you might be able to identify it from the information you have. Thank you for your assistance.

Re: "I have information that Zachariah's and William's father is a Lucas Cassidy, believed to be from Roslea or anyway, somewhere in Co.Fermanagh. Lucas left 1750 for Cheraw South Carolina to a bishop lynch. I have some information on the Lynch family in that area." If you have no response I would strongly recommend contacting Oliver McCaffey at the Rosslea Heritage Centre I am very interested in the LYNCH family's from the Rosslea area and have some information about them. Regards, Anne, Melbourne, AUS..

Thanks to Joyce for the address of the Enniskillen Town Hall. I had copied your info before but I was having a problem with my connection and could'nt get through. There was a problem with my password and they kept dropping me but I think it has been settled. Thanks to Maureen for all your help. I don't have any Lynches in my line that I know of but you have helped me with the Quigleys and the Swifts. I learn something new almost every time.

Hello Richard, Should like to thank you very much for sending the DRUMM marriages to me. Will enjoy *pouring* over them to see if anything rings a bell. Sent to your personal email address and my message was sent back by Postmaster. Anyway, thanks very much indeed for your help. Kate Hands, Australia
