I have 3 lots of Achesons linking in with my family. Briefly they are: Mary ACHESON b.c. 1797 ? co Fermanagh . d. 1884 co Leitrim she married William PORTEUS (1792-1866) who was born and raised Devenish Parish but moved to co Leitrim by the 1830's. two of their daughters : Jane PORTEUS (1825-1919) married as her 2nd husband Charles ACHESON of Rossinure Beg, CO Fermanagh. (1833- 1873). Isabella PORTEUS married William ACHESON of Co Sligo. (married 1852). I have details of both these families plus some other Acheson stuff . contact me off list if you want . Helen

p 438 McGOURTY (MacDhobhartaigh) : This family was common at Ballinamore and in other parts of Leitrim. We find the following in the 1796 Register - Charles Maguerty of Rossorry; Teddy Maguerty of Devenish and Darby Magourty of Cleenish. There are 29 McGourty voters in Fermanagh today. P 434 MULLIGAN (O'Maolagáin) : The Mulligans were an Aileach family, chiefs of Baylagh and Raphoe, before coming to Fermanagh. They seemed to have settled in Magherasteffany and Clankelly and probably gave their name to Mullowullligan and Eshywulligan townlands near Clones. Phillilp Mulligan was a well known tax collector in 1767 and he was mentioned as being a freeholder in Enniskillen parish in 1761. The 1801 list mentions Patrick Mulligan of Keeranmore, Drummully and Hugh Mulligan of Lislea, Maguiresbridge. There are 138 Mulligan voters today.

Leonard was an English family which came to Fermanagh. John Dolan writes of them: 'The chief of this honest family in Fermanagh is Mr. Edward Leonard, a gentleman of free estate in the Barony of Magherastifanagh in this County, which estate was obtained by debenture by his father, Quartermaster John Leonard, Esq., soon after the wars of 1641 and still in peaceable possession of this family to the present age (i.e. 1719), bearing the character of honesty and good neighbours.' In general, however, Leonard is in Fermanagh an anglicisation of the old Gaelic name - Mac Giolla Fhinnéin. This family were lords in Muintir Pheodacháin, and for a time kings of all Fermanagh. Their growth was curbed by the ascendancy of the Maguires (see chapters three and four). They managed to remain as lords of Muintir Pheodacháin (or at least of part of it) during the Maquire period. They were an Oriel family. -------------------------------------------------------- I wonder what an 'Oriel family' is?

Hi Listers: An FYI notice! I spent all day checking on bookstores to purchase the Fermanagh Story to no avail. However, late in the afternoon I hit pay dirt. I used search engine, Google and then searched for Ireland Bookstores. Hit many of them without sucess, however, one did come up for Books Ulster and they had the title. Of course I ordered it immediately. Not sure how many they have as I don't remember seeing a given quantity. If anyone is interested you might also try them for a copy. Gwen

Bonnie How about these names for late 1700's and up through 1860.... Kiernan/Keirnan, Swanzey, Malcolm/Meaclim/or something close...

Bonnie, I looked up Oriel family and apparently Oriel was part of ancient Ireland comprised of counties Armagh, Monaghan, and parts of Down, Louth and Fermanagh. Interesting. Thanks very much for the information.

British Families p 464 POTTER This is an English name, meaning simply a potter. John Potter was a crown tenant in 1678. There were 11 Potter voters in Fermanagh in 1962.

I have a book titled "Kinawley through the Ages" . It is a wonderful depiction of the history of Kinawley and specifically St. Naile's Church. It has many references to families. I was fortunate to find my ggrandfather's name listed. It has references to many townlands and surnames of the parish of Kinawley. Patrick

p 420 Gaelic Families BREEN (Mac Briain): also McBryan, McBrian, McBreen. This family descends from Brian, grandson of Mánus from whom the MacManuses descend. They are thus related to the MacManus family and the Maquires. Their original centre was at Baile Mhic Shearraigh or Mullamackervey townland in Aghalurcher. The first McBryan chieftain seems to have been An Giolla Dubh (the Black Servant), who, having led his tribe for eight and a half years, was proclaimed the 'Mac Briain' in 1488. He ruled till 1506. After the Plantation the family seems to have multiplied grealty. Some of them became Protestants. In 1751 we see Henry, Robert and Willliam as freeholders in Aghalurcher and Thomas, Denis, John, David and James at Ardees. In 1788 - five years before Catholics got the vote - we find many McBryans on the Fermanagh register, Patrick in Drumbad, Thomas, Richard, James, Noble, John, Robert and Samuel at Ardees; Patrick and Christopher at Drumbadmeen; and Willliam and James at Tierameehan. In 1796, when Catholics were included, we find 30 on the register - many of them at Ardees in Inishmacsaint Parish, which by then was the new centre of the family. Today there are 212 Breen - McBrian voters in Fermanagh and it is the county's seventeenth family.

I just had to forward this as I found it fascinating: p 204 Shan Bullock tells us of lace making in the forties. 'In that room a party of young women used to meet to make pillow-lace. They sat on the floor in a circle, each worker with a bottle of water before her to magnify the light from one candle in the centre, and, as they worked, they sang songs or hymns, or somebody read the Bible to them.' The sisters of Dean Tottenham, the Misses MacLean, employed a Miss Ellen Hassard, whom they had trained in Dublin, to teach a Venetian raised point lace to the women of Inishmacsaint to increase their family incomes. This lace was worn by Queens Victoria and Alexandra of England and was sold in California. The industry declined after 1906.

Hello William, Am I too late to get on end of list for a request of a look-up in *Fermanagh Story* at this point? I wondered if you could tell me about references to the surname of Drumm. Shall quite understand if you are in a heap sleeping off all the hard work at the moment. Thanks Regards, Kate Hands

I have hesitated to request a lookup for the surnames LENDRUM & WEST as there have been so many requests already and I do not want to be a nuisance, however if any kind person who has the book and has the time I would be very grateful for this information. I have tried to find in Western Australia a copy of the Fermanagh Story, so far unsuccessful. Neither the State Library System, the Genealogical Society or several private book stores have copies. Best wishes, Neila Biddle Perth, Western Australia

It seems that William Flanagan has opened a 'can o' worms' with the offer of lok ups - we indeed have joined the rush. As several others have 'cpome ourt of the woodwork and have copies. How about rationalising and reducing William's load. There are something like 175-80 names, say some took A - E, others F - J and L - P and Q - Z How about it 1./ List moderator, 2./ Bud 3/ others holding copies Cheers from Jim Martin ============================= eg [email protected] wrote: > Subject: [FERMANAGH] The Fermanagh Story, Irish Names > Date: Sun, 3 Feb 2002 21:32:49 -0700 > From: "William Flanagan" <[email protected]> > To: [email protected] > > As it seems that there are a few of us in possession of this book, and being it is hard to > get, I wish to list those names of person, of Irish heritage, who have a little information on them in Chapter 31. > > Bannon > Barron, see MacBarron > Beggan > Blake > Brady > BreenBoyle > Bresliln > Caddeb > Campbell > Carabry > Carey > Carron > Casey > Cassidy, in my family > Clifford > Collins > Connolly > Corrigan > Cosgrave > Cox > Coyle > Devine > Doherty > Dolan > Donegan > Donaghy > Donnelly > Doonan > Drumm > Duffy > Durnin, in my family > Farmer > Farry > Fee > Feelan > Fitzpatrtick > Fivey > Flanagan, in my family > Gallagher, in my family > Gavin > Gilgun > Gilleece > Gilroy > Gilsenan > Goodwin > Gorrell > Greene > Gunn > Hynes > Hoynes > Haran > Keenan > Kelly > Kernan > Kerrin > Keogh > Keown > Lennon > Leonard > Lilly > Little > Love > Lunny > Maguire > Martin > Meehan, in my family > Melanophy > Maon > Moen > Mohan > Monaghan > Morris > Morrow > Muldoon > Mullarkey > Mulhern > Mulligan > Murphy > McAloone > McAvinney > McBarron > McBrien > McCabe > McCaffrey > McCarron > McCawley > McConnell > McCormick > McCorry > McCusker > McDermott > McDonagh > McDonnell > McElgunn > McElholm > McElroy > McEntaggart > McGaraghan > McGee > McGinnity > McGirr > McGoldrick > McGourty > McGovern > McGowan > McGrath > McHugh > McKeagney > McKernan > McKenna > McKeown > McKervey > McLoughlin > MacMahons > MacManus > McMulkin > McPhilips > McQuaide > McTernan > McTiernan > Nolan > O'Brien > O'Connor > O'Donnell > O'Flanagan, in my family > O'Hussey > O'Neill > O'Reilly > O'Rourke > Owens > Quigley > Quinn > Rooney > Reihill > Rogers > Scallon > Shannon > Sheridan > Slevin > Slowey > Smith > Sweeney > Swift > Ternan > Timoney > Tummins > Treacy > Tully > Whelan > Woods. > > ______________________________ > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Subject: [FERMANAGH] The Fermanagh Story; English/Scottish names > Date: Sun, 3 Feb 2002 21:45:20 -0700 > From: "William Flanagan" <[email protected]> > To: [email protected] > > Acheson > Adams > Aiken > Allen > Archdale > Armstrong > Atkinson > Aughenleck > Balfour > Ball > Barton > Beacon > Beatty > Bell > Blennerhassett > Bloomfield > Boyd > Brooke > Brown > Caldwell > Carleton > Carrothers > Carson > Cathcart > Chambers > Clark > Cochran > Cole > Cooper > Corry > Crawford > Crichton-Creighton > Crooke > Crozier > Dane > Dunbar > Dundas > Elliott > Ewart > Ferguson > Frith > Galbraith > Gamble > Geddes > Gore > Graham > Green > Haire > Hall > Hamilton > Hassard > Henderson > Hoey > Howe > Hogg > Hume > Humphry > Irvine > Johnston > Kerr > King > Lendrum > Leonard > Lilly > Little > Lowther > Lucy > Lulnney > Madden > Marshall > Maxwell > Millar > Moffett > Montgomery > Moore > Morrison > Murray > McClelland > McClintock > McFarlane > McVitty > Nelson > Nixon > Noble > Ogle > Orr > Palmer > Phair > Pickering > Pierce > Porter > Potter > Reid > Richardson > Ritchie > Robinson > Rutledge > Scarlett > Scott > Shaw > Sommerville > Stewart > Story > Thompson > Trimble > Trotter > Vaughan > Walker > Walmsley > Watson > Weir > West > Whitley > Wilkinson > Wilson > Winslow >

She lived in Fermanagh at Aghaweenagh/Springtown which is about 2-1/2 miles east from Swanlinbar, near Moly mountain. I was in Swanlinbar in 1987 but I did not know at that time that Kinawley parish included that area so I did not try to find the cemetary you speak of. Her parents must have been burried there. I went to the Kinawley town churchyard looking for her family graves instead. Records indicate that her family may have also been in Greenan townland. Are any of your people from these townlands?

SOURCE; The Book of Ulster Surnames, by Robert Bell page 206; NOBLE; Outside of Dublin, this name is common only in Ulster. It was found to be the 18th most common name in Fermanagh in 1962 and has been common there since the Plantation. It can be of English or Scottish origin. The Norman name is "le Noble", which can mean either "well known" or "noble", has been recorded in Ireland since the 13th century. In Ross in Scotland the name MacNoble, Gaelic (Mac Nobuill), became Noble. Also, an English family of the name settled in East Lothian in the 12th century and the name was also found in Dumbartonshire. The Nobles of Strathnarian, near Inverrness, and Strathdearn in Nairnshire were a Sept of Clan MacKintosh. The name is quite common in England and there also m,eans either "well known" or "noble". There were Nobles, one of the riding Clans who lived on the English side of the West March of the Scottish borders. Many members of these clans came to Ulstre. particularly to Co Fermanagh, when their homeland was "pacified" by James VI in the decade after 1603. Though most in Fermanagh will be of this origin, one prominent family at least claims descent from a settler from Cornwall.

SOURCE; Book of Ulster Surnames, by Robert Bell; page 215 QUIGLEY; Quigley is common in all four provinces of Ireland but is most numerous in Ulster, particularly counties Derry and Donegal. It is in Gaelic ( O' Coigligh), which may derive from teh word ( coigeal), denoting a "person with unkempt hair". Tyhere were O'Quigleys, a Sept of teh Ui Fiachra of co Mayo, and another Sept of Inishowen in Donegal. The most common form of the name in now Quigley, but Kegley and Twigley are also found. The name is well known in Fermanagh and Monaghan, a Sept of O'Quig;eys there being herenachs of Clontivirin in Clones. Quigg, an exclusively Ulster name found mainly in co Derry but also in co MOnaghan, can be an abbreviated form of Quigley, but it is also the name of a recognised Sept in co Derry whose name is , in Gaelic ( O'Cuaig). Particularly in co Down, both these names have been made Fivey in the mistaken notion that the Gaelic for "five", ie (cuig), was an element in their construction.
