Is there a kind person who can look up birth and emigration records for the Henry Wilsons of this era? Any other information which could be of help, would be appreciated. Carol

Dear list - this is a reaffirmation of what we (three distant cousins) seek. Obviously any help is appreciated. Location names: Tyrone, Fermanagh, Clogher. Enniskillen is specifically mentioned in one record. Surnames: SEYMOUR, McKOY, GIBSON / GIPSON. We also believe that families who married into this line were: McKEOWN, PATTERSON, COWAN. Time frames: About the mid 1800s. We are relatively well connected once we get to Canada but are having great trouble finding them in Ireland. "Mac" We have posted this to other lists as well. Thanks. ===== RESEARCHING: southern Ontario: Clarkson, Seymour, Sinclair. Shetlands: Halcrow, Leask, Ross, Smith, Sinclair. England (Lanca, WR Yorks): Clarkson, Billington. England (Mddlsx, Herts): Hall, Ambridge. England (Surrey) Boxall. Ireland: Seymour, McKoy. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Bill, God Bless this site. Your wife's cousin is my first cousin. Mary Beggan, ie. Sister Una, Convent of Mercy nun. Sisters Eileen, Veronica, Margaret, brothers Brian and John. Mary retired as headmistress of Mount Lourdes Enniskillen in 1990 and now lives in Birmingham. The family lived at FOLLUM BIG near CORRANEY as you mentioned in your other mailing. I do have some CORBANE McMahons married into QUIGLEYS and OF COURSE Beggans. There is someone else searching for this family of McMahons as I did a posting of my research for them just before Christmas. Bill if this all makes sense to you, I have a huge tree on this BEGGAN line and my earliest CORBANE McMahon is MARY McMAHON wife of FELIX QUIGLEY born abt 1780. Their son JOHN b.abt 1810 married Elizabeth Lynch of Drummerwinter and they had 7 children. Their daughter ROSE b.1840 married Patrick McMahon of Corbane on 22/11/1867 CATHERINE b. 1838 married Patrick Cosgrove Corbane 17/1/1863 HELINOR married Peter Beggan Corraleek 24/2/1870 JAMES b. 1842 married Mary Carolan Derryhenlish 16/06/1864 FELIX and FRANCIS married 2 Rooney sisters from Derryvolen and ELIZABETH married John Connolly from Tannaghboy 19/11/1863. JAMES and MARY CAROLAN had 9 children. 7 of whom emigrated to USA.These were FELIX. JAMES. JOHN. MARY ANN. CATHERINE. FRANCIS. MARGARET. PATRICK and JOSEPH stayed at home and both married MURRAY sisters from DERRYGELLY. Patrick /Mary Ann Murray 20/10/1908 and Joseph Margaret Murray I feel I could be giving information on Uncle Tom Cobley and all. Maureen

I received mail from w.g.armstrong with an attachment (re-staying in Ireland) there was nothing on the notepad but I did get the badtrans32 virus. w.g.armstrong - can you check your computer and if you do have a message for me please send it through the list. to all other listers BE VERY CAREFULL on what you open Wendy (uk)

We are off to the UK/Ireland/Europe next year for about four months but we are not renting a car. A friend of mine who is originally from Kent suggested that buying a second hand car and covering it for insurance for the time you are there is much cheaper than renting. I have a friend in Wales who has been checking out the second hand car market and at the moment prices are down. My friend is buying one for us in April and has already sorted out where to go for insurance.This way we may only spend about 300-400 pounds in total car and insurance plus petrol of course. I have heard from people who have just arrived back in Melbourne and had organised rentals before they left- they paid up front $aus2500 renting for only four weeks. A lot to spend on transport with the way our dollar is at the moment . When we leave England to return home there is a young nephew who will be learning to drive next year so a few quid changing hands at the end of our trip and the car is theirs. Mary Anne

Hi list & Tom I found these 'cottages' and they look super. If there are 5/6 people it could be cheaper to rent one of these than B&B. I have bokmarked this site as I hope to go there myself one day. They are about 10/12 miles from Enniskillen. There is also the Motel in Enniskillen which may have a family room. www.tullybay.com Best wishes to you all for 2002 Wendy (UK)

My wife and I stayed there in 1999 and we liked it very much. They had a mid week special that included meals that was quite reasonable. It was only about a mile out of the main town of Enniskillen.

Sometimes you just don't want to stay in an B & B and want a "real" hotel room with a bath tub, etc. Last May when we were in Fermanagh we stayed at the Killyhevlin Hotel for two nights. It was a modern, clean place. The rooms and décor were along those of a Holiday Inn, but it had a great location right on the shore of Upper Lough Erne and we had a nice view from our room. The dining room had good food. We were about to check in at the hotel, but started to leave because we thought the price was a bit high. So, while we were thinking about going somewhere else, the manager gave us a voucher for a free dinner for two. That convinced us to stay - we were so tired of the car, anyway.

Jan & William & List: Thank you all for posting travel info to the site. We are also planning a trip to Enniskillen in April during school break to visit our ancestors homeland in Kinawley Parish Co. Fermanagh near Co Cavan and will be coming from Boston, Massachusetts. We were revisiting our plans after reading some of the posted comments. Our plan was to stay in or around Enniskillen in a hotel as our primary purpose was to visit / see where our ancestors came from and secondarily see the beautiful country and countryside that is Ireland. We will be renting a van. There will be six of us, two adults, including four children ages 7 to 13, for a weeks stay. In America B&B's usually can't accommodate large families. Would I be wrong to assume the same in Ireland? Also I saw some cottages advertised along "Lough Erne". Does anyone have any thoughts about renting a cottage on the lake? Best Regards, Tom Oberst

Bob (and list) You will find a selection of B&Bs on the Fermanagh Gold site specifically page http://www.fermanagh.org.uk/tours/jcaccom.htm While writing, Seasons Greetings to other subscribers.

I recommend The Cozy (a pub) in Derrygonnelly on a Saturday night If you like traditional music. The entertainment is not planned, but is whover shows up and feels like playing in the back room. The area has some wonderful local musicians. Derrygonnelly is on the road west from Enniskillen to Ballyshannon on the south of the lough shore. Follow the signs. I recommend Devenish Island, too. More info on that, and some neat pictures, on the Cassidy Clan website: www.cassidyclan.org Have fun. I wish I could go this year! Janet C-S

Please post the answers to Bob Rice's questions about B&B's to the list. Yes there are others who are thinking of making the trip and would like the inofrmation Janet Searching McDonnell and Maguire from Lehinch townland, NewtownButler area

1. Purchase the "Sportsman, Fishing guide for Lough Erne", both Upper and Lower. It is one of the most comprehensive maps, 1 mile to the inch of the area. They are available at any place4 that sells fishing supplies alonmg the road from Enniskillen in county Fermanagh to Ballyshannon in county Donegal. 2. Bed and breakfast are your best bet. They are all good, Location is the main reason for picking one out. Especially if you are renting a car. NOTE: Reat a car here in the USA for use there. It will be cheaper. 3. The view from the liffs of Mago, south of the road from EK to Ballyshannon. You can almoast see the entire Lough Erne from them. 4. MaGuire Castle and museum in Enniskillen. 5. Florence Court . 6. Pack light, Laundry facilities are hard to find. NOTE; If you stay at the same B&B for a few nights, they might let you use their machines. I lucked out in Garrison. 7. Please try the Pub's food/grille. Some local restaurants are pricey. 8. Take an umbrella and some sort of covering for your top end. 9. When you meet someone walking along the way, offer them a Good Morning or Good Day. All of them will reply and some will even start up a conversation and they never fail to ask if you need help, of directions. 10. If you look an Irishman in the eye , you best say something or make a comment about the country of the weather. If you don't, he/she might be putting the curse of the Lephrecans on you.

Bob.......... do you by chance have a McDermott in your tree form to Fermanagh ...that settled in the St Patrick MO. area? Betty McDermott

List, We are planning on a vacation to Fermanagh/Tyrone area of Ireland next May. Would like suggestions on bed and breakfast establishments that some of you may have had good experiences with in Co. Tyrone or Fermanagh. Also , would like to know of the must see areas of Co Tyrone and Co.Fermanagh. Please contact me at my e-mail address, as I doubt that others on the list would like to see the responses to this. Thanks, Bob Rice

To those of you who ask for help, please do not include the original message in your replies. My printer is old and slow, like me, and my backlog is getting larger and the pile never seems to go down. Some requests are fairly simple to answer. A few require research thru my files and folders. Please be patient and I will reply to all who are in need of assistance. Before this site gets filled, I wish to offer Peace and happiness and good hunting to all who search for those in the past by asking we in the present to provide answers to they that will come to us in the future. A Blessed Christmas to everyone. Bud Flanagan

According to Symantec, the Norton anti-virus site, sulfnbk is a legitimate Microsoft utility that has something to do with long URLs. All the info on it is at this site: http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/sulfnbk.exe.warning.html They even tell you how to restore the utility if you have already deleted it.
