William, I would love to help some more, I find I learn a lot about Fermanagh doing the lookups. However I would like to know how we will avoid duplicates. Up to now I have only responded to those who direct their request to me personally. I think I saw a suggestion on the list yesterday about how to divide the list up, what do you think? And shall we post our replies to the list? Or not? Questions, questions . . . I shall await your reply. (P.S. I'm gone to work the rest of the day so will check tonight) Bonnie Henderson Alberta [email protected] ----- Original Message ----- From: "William Flanagan" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, February 07, 2002 8:25 AM Subject: Re: [FERMANAGH] Re: FERMANAGH-The Fermanagh Story, Irish Names > Any help gratefully appreciated. > > When the load is heavy, you get tired. > > When the load is light, you make more trips. > > > ==== FERMANAGH Mailing List ==== > Welcome to the original Fermanagh mailing list.

Any help gratefully appreciated. When the load is heavy, you get tired. When the load is light, you make more trips.

Joann, That is interesting. My grandmother Margaret Harte was baptised at St. Mary's of Swalinbar in 1883. Her mother was Jane McManus of Patrick and Margaret McManus. I also visited Ireland last year and a relative brought me to St. Naile's Church in Kinawley, where my relatives are buried. My ggrandfather James Harte was a stone mason who helped build the church. Patrick

I am looking for any mention of McCormick, McGuire or McDonald if you have the time. My great grandparents came to the U.S. about 1869 from Fermanagh County: Michael McCormick and Mary McDonald. Mary's mother was Ann McGuire. They were supposedly married in Ireland and their first child was born here in 1870-Thomas McCormick. Any help would certainly be appreciated! Sands McCormick Uridil
My, my, the Fermanagh list has a lot of readers. No sooner did I post my offer to do look-ups, I was swamped with requests. I will do all I have received so far, but will have to withdraw my offer for the time being. Linda Cole

FROM: The Book of ULster surnames, by Robert Bell, ISBN# 0-85640-405-5 (paperback) page 94; There are several origins for the Scottish names. Henderson and its synonym Hendron are simply variations of Henryson. There were Hendesons, one of the lesser of the riding clans of the Scottish borders, who lived in Upper Liddlesdale on the Scottish side of the Middle March. The main lowland family of the name, the Hendersons of Fordell in Fifeshire, descended from the Henrysons of Dunfriesshire. The Hendersons, a Sept of CLANN GUNN, like some Wilsons and Johnsons, descended from the fifteenth (15th) century George Gunn the Crowner ( coroner), in this case through a younger son Henry. This Sept was based in the lowlands of Caithness. This brings us to the Hendersons of Glencoe in Argyllshire. page 103; There were Jamisons, the most senior of the Sept of Clann Gunn, who descended through the eldest son, James , who became shief in his time. page 105; The Maclans or Johnsons of Caithness, a Sept of Clan Gunn, descended from John, the third son of George Gunn. page 107; Kane/Maclan; MacKean was originally MacLain and there were Maclan Sept in Clan Gunn. page 183 There were MacWilliam Septs of Clan Gunn and Clan MacFarlane. page 203; There wer also Nelsons or Neilsons, a Sept of Clan Gunn. page 250-251 Williams/Williamson; There were the MacWilliams or Williamson, a Sept of Clan Gunn, who descended from from a later chief, William , of clan Gunn. Wilson; In Caithness and Sutherland to the north, the Wilsons were a Sept of Clan Gunn, descendent if William, one of teh sons of George Gunn.

I'm interested in any ELLIOTTs you might find. Other names I'm searching are HILLIARD, KEARNS/CAIRNS, BOYD. Thanks very much! Also, the other day I saw someone has posted a website to purchase "The Fermanagh Story" but now I'm not sure what I did with it. Does anyone have it?
