Hi, I am just getting started on tracing my branch of the Trimble family in Australia, and have gone back as far as William Trimble born c1800 at Fermanagh, Ireland. He married Anne Galbraith and had 4 children: James Trimble b1833 Enniskillin or Tyrone Ireland Thomas Trimble b1834 ? Ireland Margaret Trimble b1838 Fermanagh Ireland Andrew Trimble b1840 ? Ireland. Most of the above migrated to Australia in around 1853(very approx) I am unable to find any details of Ann/Anne or her husband William Trimble (particularly siblings or parents) and would appreciate any info you may have. I have posted what info I do have on the Family Tree Maker site, the URL is at the bottom of this message. Regards, Greg Trimble trimble@ozemail.com.au http://www.familytreemaker.com/users/t/r/i/Greg-J-Trimble/

His branch of the family came from Pomeroy in Co Tyrone, and before that from Co Longford. William Copeland Trimble (son of above William) succeeded him as editor and wrote the History of Enniskillen. This info is from The Fermanagh Story by P. Lovingstone. Hope it helps. Janet C-S

I'm trying to locate a Francis "fannie" Hester Matthews - hearsay is that she was born in Maguires bridge, Ireland. She came to America in 1872, somewhere. I believe her father may have been John E Matthews -who was born in Northern Ireland. his father was john Matthews of Wales, his mother was Hester Evanes (spelling?) born in north ireland. I can not prove this nor deny this. I am looking for any information. thanks!!

Would it be possible for someone please to look up the Donegal Marriage Index for a marriage of a Patrick McMahon to a Winifred Flood. They married about 1830-1840 and came to Aus c 1853. I think they left part of their family behind, as shipping shows 5 children arrived with them but Winifred's death cert cites 10 children none deceased but no names. I have no idea where in Donegal they came from except that their daughter Jane, my direct ancestor gave her birthplace as Fermanagh. If I can look up anything in sunny Maryborough Qld Aus I would be happy to. thanks in advance Sandra

Civil reg of marriages did not begin until 1845 for Protestants (C of I) and 1864 for Roman Catholics. So there is no civil index. Before that time you must use church records, and to do that, you need to know what parish the marriage took place in. Sorry not to be of more help. Janet C-S

Like Mr. Anderson I dislike reading multiple messages which parrot each other however as one of the "me too" writers in this instance I feel there are exceptions to all circumstances. In this particular case I copied the list in order to help foster a swell of enthusiasm for Mr. Cunningham's CD hopefully, therefore, increasing the chance he would produce it.

Mr. Cunningham, I,too, would be interested in a CD of the Letters of John O'Donavan. Thanks. M.J. Stone Illinois

Reply to: RE: John Cunningham > I would be very interested in your CD of the Letters of John O'Donovan. Hello, Everyone, Please only post messages to the list that more than two people (the sender and recipient) care about. I am *NOT* interested in the letters of John O'Donovan, and I am also not interested in seeing multiple "me too" messages. I've deleted a couple dozen so far, I think. Please, please,*please* send your "me too" messages directly to Mr. Cunningham <Adam4Eves@aol.com> and stop wasting my time (and I'm sure that of many, many others) as well as lots of Internet bandwidth. By the way, this goes for "thank you" messages, too. Thanks, S R C A cott obert ranston nderson phssra@physics.emory.edu

Mr. Cunningham, I would also like to obtain a copy if you create the CD. Thanks. Patricia Folkers Alberta, Canada folkersa@cadvision.com Who we are is who we were

The name Hamiliton is common in Tyrone and Fermanagh. Hamilton was one of the planters granted acreage in Barony of Magheraboy (Fer) in the Ulster Plantation. One of his sons was Malcolm, who became Archbishop of Cashel and had a big family. One of Malcolm's grandsons, Gustavus, was governor of Enniskillen during the Williamite wars. He had an estate at Monea in Fermanagh (between Derrygonnelly and Enniskillen). <<I have found a lot of references to the Hamilton family in Co. Tyrone. I have found a record of Rebecca's birth "abt. 1762, Enniskillen, Fermanagh, Ireland" and marriage " 1774 or 76 Faniskillin, Fermanagh, Ireland" Most of the records seem to date to the mid 1800's and I'm looking for the mid to late 1700's. >> You don't say what records it was you searched. If it was the Mormon IGI, you may be seeing someone's hypothesis--it all depends on the source. In other words, verify what you find. Good luck, Janet C-S

And me! Thanks. I'll forward my full address when advised that the CD is available. Betty Nelson

Hello : Somewhere in the transmission of my request to be added to the list of people requiring the above CD of John O'Donovan my message never appeared. I have to assume that I have done something wrong and when this one is printed I will soon find out if I have. I am hoping that this time I will have more success.

Mr. Cunningham: I would be very interested in your CD of the Letters of John O'Donovan. Matt Hartigan Safety Harbor, Florida, USA Matthart@aol.com

Hi List I've had lots of requests to look up names. I found quite a few today and have mailed out the responses. The complete list for the names I have looked up would make this mail very long - so I have instead posted them to temporary pages on my web site. It took quite a bit of time to go through the book and type out all the information people had requested - so I would like to make sure that as many people as possible see the results. A new list of mainly Fermanagh passengers is here: http://members.tripod.com/Jan_Hart/fermship.htm and a complete list of all names I have looked up is at http://members.tripod.com/Jan_Hart/selectnm.htm This page includes Robinson, Cassidy, McGuire, Filon, Mitchell and Braydon. I would really recommend that you try and get hold of a copy of this publication. It was produced in 1980 so should be easy to find, perhaps in your local FHC. In total there are over 7,000 passenger names - ships from different Irish ports to New York, Baltimore and Philadelphia between 1811 and 1817. There are introductory chapters as well as a separate index for passengers, ships and captains names! Most of the entries are just lists of names with no places of origin, but some are listed with origins. There is also a small section included of "advertisements" - they look like bulletin boards we are familiar with on the net! Some notes of poignancy too - the men who were "pressed" by passing ships - I assume this means pressganged - perhaps someone could confirm this to me. Stories of tragedy, shipwreck, and rescue at sea. The book is a very useful guide giving historical context. I still have a few requests for lookups to answer, so if you haven't heard from me yet, give me until the weekend. I can only accept look up requests during the next couple of days. New names I've looked up will be added to the web pages shown above, so check back sometime next week to see if there are any of your names. While I'm writing to the list - I'm stuck on searching for Houston and Colville in Antrim in the early 1800s, and somewhere I've seen reference to Colville transposed to Caldwell. Has anyone found any of these names in Fermanagh? Jan Hart janhart@webleicester.co.uk

I would like book or cd. Let me know Stella Martin

I am looking for information on a CRAWFORD family, Mary, b. 1802, her sons, Christopher, b. 1825 and William, b. 1829 all in Fermanagh. They were Episcopal. Christopher was my ggggrandfather. He immigrated to America with him mother and brother from the Londonderry port in June of 1832 and settled in Phila., PA. I don't know who his father was or if and when he came here. Can any one help with this family in gthe Fermanagh area of Ireland? Thanks much.

I am also very interested in the CD and hope enough are as interested so that you will produce it. Robert Tumath Oakville Ontario Canada

Mr. Cunningham, Please add me to the list to purchase the CD of the book if you decide to produce it. We sure hope you do! Many thanks. Bonnie Henderson Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
