nd became for a time Kings of Fermanagh untill the growth was curbed by the rising Maguires. The family descends from Giolla Finnein O'Muldory, as do the O'Muldorys themselves, once lords of Lough Erne.

This family is of the Kinel-Connell race, and descend from Flaherty Mac Loingsigh, who was Monarch of Ireland from 727 to 734 AD. For the pedigree of this family, see "Battle of Magh Rath", printed for the Irish Archaelogical Society in 1842, page 335. vol 3, p 271 1234 AD Aengus Mac Gillafinnen, Lord of Lough ERne, was killed by Donnel More in revenge of the death of Egneghan. vol 3, p 443 1285 AD Henry Mac Gillafinnen died. vol 3 p 479 1303 AD Niall Mac Gillafinnen died. vol 3, p 527 1322 AD Henry Mac Gillafinen, Chief of Muintir-Feodachain, was slain by the sons of Auliffe Maguire vol3 , p 605 1354 AD Flaherty Mac Gillafinnen and his kinsman, were killed by their own people. vol 4, p 809 1412 AD Donough, son of Donnell Mac Gillafinnen, died Vol 4, p 869 1426 AD Teige Mac Gillafinnen and his son, Hugh, were slain by Art, the son of Owen O'Neill. Vol 4, p 873 1428 AD Mac Gillafinen killed Hugh Oge, son of Hugh Maguire. Vol 4, p 929 1443 AD Aengus Mac Gillafinnen, Abbot of Lisgool, died.

Now Ballaghmeehin, in the parish of Rossonver, in the north of county Leitrim .

This is really interesting Thanks for putting this info where we can all read it. JoAnn

Thanks to all those of you who have replied to my Lisboy query. I have now been enlightened and able to place a little pin on the map. Regards Mari

You would have to obtain sheet #23 of the Ordnance Survey Maps which outlines all the townlands. As I dont know where you are located, you would have to go to Google and put in Ordnance Survey Maps of Northern Ireland and it will give you a source of purchase. However some one may be able to advise you of a local source.

I forget which Fermanagh list just suggested using Google.com to search for "Enniskillen Barracks" but among the 657 results for that search was http://www.enniskillen.com For those listers who have never visited Fermanagh, this will give you a bit of local color. Linda

Not so easy...... I tried the website, but it didn't work, I had a look in the atlas and couldn't find it....... I obviously need a better map.

I am not sure but Lisboy could be a townland and would not necessarily be listed on a current road map of the area. Try the website www.seanraud.com and put Lisboy in the townland section and see what comes up unless someone else on the list knows for sure. Janet

Go to Google and enter "Enniskillen Barracks". Google is a great search tool.

Greetings list, Can someone tell me what the Enniskillen Barracks are? Would they have been around in the 1780 - 1820 and if so what were they used for in that time frame? Thanks. ===== RESEARCHING: southern Ontario: Clarkson, Seymour, Sinclair. Shetlands: Halcrow, Leask, Ross, Smith, Sinclair. England (Lanca, WR Yorks): Billington, Clarkson.

Need your feedback. My great-great-grandfather John FITZGIBBON was a Protestant, in the 'military'. He married a Catholic gal named Margaret MAGUIRE around 1840, give or take 5 years. Since this was a Catholic marriage, civil records do not exist prior to 1864. Leaving me with only one option....parish records...but WHICH parish and in WHAT county? Since MAGUIRE is a Fermanagh surname, and since Enniskillen was the site of a large Military barracks, I'm going on a hunch that John and Margaret met each other while John was stationed at Enniskillen. Leading me to my main question: What Catholic parish was closest to the Enniskillen Barracks in Fermanagh around 1840.

Hi Listers Have recently discovered information that may assist in tracking down more of my research for the Guy family. Have found that my great grandfather Andrew James Guy's brother William James Guy was indeed married to Eliza(beth) Keys of Drumbulkin (b1853), married 4 Dec 1873. They had three children - Joseph, Francis and Sarah. Elizabeth had a brother Henry Francis Keys. Apparently WIlliam James Guy left the family (obviously stayed around for long enough to father the children), and apparently went to NZ. Any leads on when this occurred would be appreciated. Andrew James Guy came to NZ in 1875, however no family "legend" regarding William James coming here. Perhaps nobody knew! There is also new information regarding the fact that another brother (of whom I had no knowledge) married Anna May of Rosculban Kesh. She had a sister Margaret. Any knowledge of name of this son of Rev William James Guy, Minister of Lowtherstown (Irvinestown) would be appreciated. TIA Karen Hitchcock (nee Guy) Auckland, NZ
