As an ex resident of Spokane, I hope you are enjoying your cool weather , It is 105 here in Aridzona at 930 AM. Coolcrannel Civil parish of Aghalurcher Religious parish of Aghalurcher. On south east outskirts of Maguiresbridge This townland has the shape of a pair of square sunglasses tilted at a 45 drgree angle. bordered on the north by Tattenderry, RC church on the northeast by Lisdrum on the east by Aghnaskew on the southwest by Drumliff on the west by Drumgoon, Church of Ireland has had a school since 1832 Routh A34 to Maguiresbridge passes thru it.

Thank you, JoAnn, for the first hand account of Allanleck townland. I didn't get the map in two parts that you mentioned but would love to have a copy. Pat

Civil parish of Aghalurcher Religious parishs of Aghalurcher In north west corner of parish on border of Aghalurcher/Enniskillen parishes. one secondary road running nw to se, three farms, five structures and a Rath in this small townland, 3/4 miles across, west to east, 1/4 mile from north to south. bordered on the NE by Killycloghy, co Fermanagh bordered on the SE by KIlmore North, co Fermanagh bordered on the south by Lebally, co Fermanagh bordered on the west by Boshinny, Enniskillen parish, co Fermanagh bordered on the north by Snowhill, Enniskillen parish, co Fermanagh is located 1 1/2 miles east of Lisbellaw in EK parish where churches are located. is located 2 1/2 miles north west of Maguiresbridge, where all the churches are located.

On a small map, everything looks close. Cavanaleck , the townland name, shows up in two parishes. Enniskillen and Aghavea. In Aghavea, it is 1/2 mile from Fivemiletown in co Tyrone Cornarooslan is 4 miles, south east of Cavanleck, with the townlands of Tattyreagh, Foglish and Tattenabuddah in between,, is on the co Tyrone border, nowhere near Cavan. Gortalughany is in Killesher parish, on the border of co Cavan. If you were in county Cavan and climbed the south side of Culicagh mountain, you would see Lough Erne, across and into co Fermanagh. Have you looked for Allanleck in co Cavan. Again, can find no rfeference in co Fermanagh to this name unless it it was a family place and not on any map. . Ask Jo Ann for more information as to what places, villages, townlands were near Allenlack. Ask her in which direction she was looking to see Lough Erne.

Gortalughany is close to the border of Cavan. Cloghany is and Beihy what ever that is is on the map not far from it. Maureen didnt know of it either. I have been there so I know of it. There is a sign on the road to Swanlinbar that says Gortalughany view point and a small road goes up the mt and at the top is a big field of turf and you can see Lough Erne. Its wonderful up there and I can see my Grandmothers cottage. I get homesick just thinking about it. Did you get that map that I sent in two parts. I know that it is different from others that I have seen and Gortalughany is on it. Thanks JoAnn

Barryvey, Magheraculmoney Parish, Glenarm townland 3.

Do you know William that this is a wonderful idea. i dont know how to help but I will if you need me and can explain what you want. I Love Fermanagh and have been there 8 times in the past 12 years. Just let me know what to do . Sincerely JoAnn

I would add to William Flanaghan's excellent description of Enniskillen Town. The Town Hall is great for Marriage records but I am a bit worried about his 'Public Transport' bit. But then I don't know how long you intend to stay in the area.but if you have the time it would be so worthwhile to hire a car and spend a couple of days visiting the local towns and villages. The roads can be traffic free and the country people will be delighted to talk to you. They also have tremenduous memories so be prepared to find someone who remembers your great aunt or similar. I had a lovely situation, I took my husband to see my old Primary School which is now a private house. I was standing looking at it when a woman came to the door, I apologised for disturbing her and explained what we were doing. I had not introduced myself as I had not been there for some 20 years so didn't see the point. However quick as a flash she looked at me and said....'You are Maureen aren't you we were only talking about you the other night'. I had not got a clue who she was but it turned out that she had been at school with me. My husband to say the least was 'gobsmacked'. ESPECIALLY when the same thing happened at the local shop when I went in to get some cigarettes. Have a lovely trip. Maureen

William, Oh you have such a lovely way with you...I will take Clones Parish...I was brought up in the area and have the townland maps for Clones parish and Galoon Parish so I can stretch a bit. also a few other helpful little items. so providing I am not asked 'What people had for breakfast 100 years ago' I should be able to help. Seriusly though it is a great idea and thank you for thinking of it. Maureen

So you want to visit Enniskillen. It is a pretty town/city, spread out in all directions. To see it properly, I highly recommend that you stay at a Bed & Breakfast establishment, that you fly to Belfast, not Shannon or Dublin, and that you can take public transportation to Enniskillen. By doing this, you will only have to use English money and not the new Euro dollars unless you travel south out of co. Fermanagh to co. Cavan or over to co. Donegal. The time of year that you travel dictates the type of clothing, always pack an umbrella and good walking shoes. If you greet an Irishman on the streets, be ready for a conversation, if you greet them in the Pubs, be ready to buy a drink. Send off for the tourist package for Northern Ireland. It gives a lot of helpful information. Take a camera along in case you find relatives. Buy the post cards of the landmarks, no dissappointments there. The best meals are in the Pubs at noon and evenings. A Good Bed and Breakfast will last you all day if you can eat all of it. Enniskillen has a wounderful library , there is a small heritage center by the main bus station and there are a lot of records in Enniskillen Castle. The Telephone book is loaded with Elliots. Post a request on this Fermanagh-L site about your family and ask for imput before you leave. Have a happy trip and God speed.

>From your messgae of 26 Jul 2001: Was Mullinaskartey in 1659 Now is Mullynascarthy on the maps In civil parish of Aghalurcher In Religious parish of Aghalurcher Is 2 miles SSE of Maguiresbridge Is 2 miles NW of Lisnaskea bordered on the north by Aghinure & Garvoghil on the east by Carrowhony on the south by Drumcrin on the west by Drummrack all churches are located either in Maguiresbridge or Lisnaskea

I have a list, 4,751 places , all located in county Fermanagh. It includes, Parishes, Townlands, Places of interest, Mountains, Rivers, Bridges, some ancient ruins, Castles, Manors. As most maps are based on certain geographical items, I chose to include everything, including hedgrows and forests and lakes. I have combined maps from 1629, 1700's, 1800's and 1900's. I also used the fishing maps for Lough Erne as a guide. I have also included the original spelling with a cross reference to modern maps. I will do look ups, as I have done in the past. When requested: I will supply the physical location of each place, indicated by what it is surrounded by, ie; townlands, lakes, etc. I can also show the nearest church, either Catholic, Church of Ireland, Presbyterian, Methodist, or other as shown on my maps and llists. I wish to share this basic information with all my fellow descendents from county Fermanagh, and maby to stire up a little volunteering of other Basic information which may appy to all our efforts. Wouldn't it be nice to see the entire county of Fermanagh, broken down into the Parishes with a person or persons being the host/co=ordinator to collect and disseminate information on his area of expertise. ?????

Rich, I thought your GUNN's were from Newtownbutler? Anyhow let me know as there are quite a few in Donagh cemetery inscriptions. I have just come across this little bit Charles Tinney 63 yrs. Wife Susan 63yrs Charles son. 26 yrs. Mary dau. 18yr This is from the Old age Penson Records 1851. Donegal. Tirhugh.Milltown. It may mean something to you. I have not found any Skeltons. Maureen

Hello, Not sure if you're the woman asking about husbands signing the marriage certificate as witnesses, but if so could it be because the maid of honor and best man were not of legal age (21 years old)? In all your Maguire research do you by any chance have a Charlie (Charles) married to an Ellen Nora Cassidy in 1852 in Fermanagh? I have no idea of where in the county which makes it really hopeless where to look. Charlie was a 'boiler maker' and worked on the Merrimac after the family emigrated to the US. Your granddaughter sounds like a wonderful child, Gucci jeans and all! I'm sure you enjoy her very much. Thank you for your time and information. Gigi (great grandma) Pat
