I am trying to confirm that my anscestor, Robert/David HENDERSON, left Enniskillan in 1818 with a family of 8 children. They arrived in New Brunswick,Canada and settled in the Kingston Peninsula. The info I have on birthdates is taken from census records: Robert/David(found both names in records) b c 1768, Enniskillan..may have been a soldier; no wife mentioned, but possibly named Margaret married c 1797 in Enniskillan; John N(elson) b c 1798; Robert; William T(homas) b. c 1801; James b. c 1808; David b. c 1811; Margaret b. c 1813; Elizabeth; and George b 22 Aug 1816. Birthdates and order of children other than George not certain. The family was likely Methodist, as they attended the Methodist Church in N.B. for the first two generations. Can anyone tell me where to get information on this family? Family tradition says he was a ranking soldier and was 'sent' to the new world by parents not happy with his marriage to an 'Irish Lass'(took them a long time to decided to send him to this side of the ocean!!!) It is possible he was related to a George HENDERSON/Elizabeth ARMSTRONG and their son Andrew HENDERSON/Susannah SLACK. Both families arrived in New Brunswick at the same time and it is known that Andrew and Susannnah travelled to New Brusnwick with kin. Thank you for any help.

I plan to start my search in the parishes of Templecarn and Drumkeeran because of their proximity to the town of Pettigo. >> Hmmmn, you might have difficulty, I'm afraid. According to Ryan's Irish Records, Drumkeeran C of I records are as follows: Earliest records: b. 1873-; m. 1845- Status: RCBL (mf) and LC (b/m/d. 1666-1826) [I don't understand the contradiction between "earliest" given as 1873 and the second (LC) date of 1666.] Templecarn: Earliest records: b. 1825 m. 1825 d. 1825 Status: LC RCBL= Representative Church Body Library LC= Local Custody For what it is worth, the book says that Heritage World (in Dungannon, Co Tyrone) has most of these records and will search them for a fee. It would be worth an email to them to see exactly what they have. There is nothing listed for Methodist records, but it wouldn't matter because at the time period you are interested in, the Methodists were still a movement within the Anglican church, and members would have still been baptised, etc., in the C of I. Good luck, Janet C-S

I am posting this as well to the Fermanagh group. If there are any questions, feel free to email me. Northern Ireland The following is a summary of the 7 days that my wife and I spent in Northern Ireland in May of 1999. It blends family history with the "tourist" aspects. G.B.P. means British pounds. Lough is lake. As I had already been in Europe for some weeks first, we stayed in Belfast for one night so my wife could get be accustomed to the time changes. The following morning I spent a few hours in the Public Record Office of Northern Ireland on Balmoral Avenue. I had previously used a professional researcher to visit PRONI, so I wasn't really looking for any new information, it was more curiousity as I had read much about it through the newsgroups. The staff are very helpful. Since my family is from Fermanagh, I purchased the excellent publication, "Guide to County Sources: Fermanagh" for future reference. I then browsed through the various publications which are available there, made a few photocopies, and left before lunch. There is an excellent description on their website of what to expect, physical layout, and records held. We then purchased an excellent transportation pass for 7 days for 35 G.B.P. which gave us unlimited use of the bus and train systems. We left in the early afternoon on the Antrim coastal bus and was overwhelmed by the beautiful seaside scenery for the next four hours along the eastern and northern coastline until we arrived in Coleraine. We had about 5 minutes to catch the train to Londonderry so did not linger. We spent the night in "Derry", and had two more bus rides through Omagh in Tyrone, before arriving at our prime destination of Enniskillen in County Fermanagh. The bus rides on public transportation were wonderful, on time, and an opportunity to mingle with the locals. We stayed in Enniskillen for three nights in one of the nicest hotels anywhere. It's called the "Killyhevlin", and it's about a mile from the town. The prices were reasonable from a U.K. standpoint, with dinner and breakfast included in the mid week special. It's located right on Lough Erne in a nice setting. The bus station in Enniskillen serves the entire area. The next morning we headed to Lisnaskea, which is where my ancestors are from. The townland is Drumhose, and thanks to some folks on the "Northern Ireland and Fermanagh" groups, I was quickly able to find the exact spot. They had recommended a map called the "Fermanagh Lakeland, outdoor pursuits map and navigation guide, Upper Lough Erne" which is 2.5 inches to the mile, and has many of the townlands listed in that area. I picked it up at the Enniskillen tourist centre for about 5 G.B.P. Once in Lisnaskea, I hired a taxi for an hour for 15 G.B.P. who took us in about 10 minutes to Drumhose. The townland itself has a few older buildings on top of a small hill, with three relatively new houses and barns. There was no problem taking some pictures from one of the houses since as the owner of the house was the sister of the taxi driver. I knew there would not be much there to see but it was emotional nevertheless. I took many pictures, picked up some stones to bring back, and headed to the nearest cemetary at Agalaugher, which is well known in the area. We spent some time there as it's very close to Drumhose and may be gravesite where some of my ancestors may be buried. The stones are mainly old and faded, and I had already known of all the names that were documented here as they had been transcribed years ago. Mine are not included, but we enjoyed this old place. We then headed back to Lisnaskea and spent some time at the Market Square which was created in 1841, for trade purposes. Later that day, back in Ennislkillen, we visted Ennilkillen Castle, where they had some publications for sale. I couldn't believe my eyes when there was a lovely book called, "Lisnaskea Conservation Area", which describes the possible future of this area, but more importantly for me, describes the history of the area. It had old maps, well written histories, and pictures. It fills in some information that I got from the Ordnance Survey Memoirs for the parishes of County Fermanagh, Volume 4 and was a highlight of the genealogical part of this trip. The next day we travelled along the Lough Erne to Belleck, where they make wonderful pottery. The Lough is beautiful in itself, and the site of much recreational boating and fishing. We took the bus route back to Enniskillen around the opposite side of the lough, so we could see this lake from both sides. I visited Lisnaskea for a few hours the next day to see the local library. The librarian was very helpful. Although they don't see a lot of visitors here, they had a file with about 40 to 50 old references to Lisnaskea, including maps, articles about local history, etc. I made some photocopies of the articles on the workhouse which was established there in the 1830's, and also found some useful information on Lisnaskea and how it was very prominent in the area at one time. We headed back to Belfast to take the Sunday afternoon city tour which takes you through Belfast's history including the areas that have been in the news over the past several years. It was excellent.

JOHNSTON / IRVINE of Co. Fermanagh I am searching for records of my ancestors in Co. Fermanagh. My 3rd great grandfather, Charles JOHNSTON was born in Co. Fermanagh in 1752 and emigrated to Upper Canada with his 2nd wife and nine children in 1822. I have only identified three of his children, Irvine JOHNSTON born in 1797, my 2nd great grandfather, Charles JOHNSTON born Aug. 12, 1800, and James JOHNSTON born about 1819. Irvine JOHNSTON (1797-1885) arrived in Upper Canada earlier in 1819. My 2nd great grandfather, Charles JOHNSTON (1800-1881) married Margaret IRVINE (1802-1889). Margaret was born in the town of Pettigo, Co. Fermanagh according to her obituary. This same obituary also implies that Charles and Margaret were married when they arrived in Upper Canada in 1822. In Canada my ancestors were members of the Methodist Church or the Church of England. I am hoping to find a record of the marriage of Charles and Margaret. I plan to start my search in the parishes of Templecarn and Drumkeeran because of their proximity to the town of Pettigo. I am also hoping that someone can advise me on where to go to find any records for these two parishes. Best Regards, Joseph Daunt Johnston JJohns9051@aol.com

Hi everyone, the o297 is the page number on the registery. Mary Anne Bogue Born 11 Jan 1864 Brookeborough is recorded on the page 190 of what ever extracted source is given. May be parish register may be civil register. Usually is the page number, could be number of entry if each entry is numbered separately. It makes finding the orignal on the microfilm very very easy.

Hi Everyone, Looking for information on my grandfather, Robert Weir, who was born on 3/4/1874 some where in Fermanagh.He came to Canada and lived in Schomberg ON. then entered the U.S. at Niagara Falls on July 1, 1890. His fathers name was Adam Weir. If anyone has any information it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you Bob Weir

This will tell you exactly where he was born and his parents' names. Janet C-S

I am looking for anyone who might know of my family. My grandfathers name was Charles McCaffrey and my grandmothers name was Elizabeth McCaffrey. My grandfather was born in Malta and my grandmother was born in Enniskillen Ireland. My grandfather died in 1946, but I am told that he didn't like to tell anyone when his birthday was. My grandmother was born May 16, between 1904 and 1906. They had eight children together. Agnes Mary, Elizabeth Ellen, Bridget Theresa, Monica Ann, Patrick Ignatious, Carmelita, William Gabriel and Joan Christina My grandfather was married before that to a woman whose last name was Murphy and had three children to her. Charlie Harry and James. If any one knows where I might find any information I would really appreciate the help. My aunts and uncles were born in Enniskillen Ireland too. I am just starting out some family research and I am not having too much luck as my living aunt, uncle and my mother seem to remember some things differently. ! Thank you in advance.

I missed the original post, so I could be off base on this, but unless an actual certificate is needed, it might be possible to get a photocopy of the register entries from the Family History Department at Salt Lake City. That would be more economical than getting certificates from Belfast. The charge for a photocopy is 25 cents per entry; a certificate would cost several pounds. Given the name William, the individual is likely a protestant (but not necessarily C of I). The LDS have microfilmed the Irish Civil registers for marriages from 1845 to 1870 (although as stated, only C of I marriages are in the civil registers from 1845 to 1864), deaths from 1864 to 1870, and births from 1864 (with some years missing) into the 1900s. To place an order for a photocopy, it would be necessary to find the volume and page numbers from the Irish BDM Indexes; films of these indexes are available from the LDS FHCs. And did someone say that the Irish BDM Indexes are on CD ROM? Peter
