Hello all, Can anyone tell me if there is such a place as Mount Morris in Ireland and, if so, where I would find it ? Any help would be much appreciated. Regards, Chris

Beverly Hahesy Hannon, You wrote: <Can anyone provide some history on Lisnaskae, Co. Fermanagh? According to my Lippincott's Pronouncing Gazetteer Of The World, published 1875 and based on the 1870 census, it is "a market-town of Ireland, co of Fermanagh, 10 miles S.E. of Enniskillen.

Janet, I have seen this reference of Murnernagh as the origin of LOVE in Fermanagh. It's in one of the popular surname books, but I am not sure which one. I would be interested to know if your LOVE friends have anything on Patrick Love or George Patrick LOVE in the Enniskillen area c. 1850. Thanks, Tim Riley

Listers: Has someone helped you through this or another list? (Sometimes I think I'd give a month's salary to get information that would help me break down my stone wall!) If you've been helped by some kind list member, why not show your gratitude by making a donation to Rootsweb? (Without Rootsweb, this list would not exist, right?) Although belonging to the list is free, it costs money to run it, and there are many projects Rootsweb would like to be able to do (such as putting the US census online).

Can anyone provide some history on Lisnaskae, Co. Fermanagh? I have a teapot which my grandmother Mary Elizabeth MONTGOMERY was given as a gift when she left for America in the late 1800's, inscribed "A Gift from Lismaskae" (sic). Thanks much. Beverly Hahesy Hannon

Irvinestown, fer irl - 54°29'n 7°38'w - * abuts the tyr county border. Known as Lowtherstown in the early nineteenth century; a town, with rly. stn. (G.N.I.R.), p.o., t.o., pop. 785 (c1960), lies 14km (8m) due north of Enniskillen, and 6km (3½m) northwest of Bundoran Junction and Magheracross.

It consists of one street of 242 houses, and contains a chapel of ease, a handsome building with a spire, erected in 1831, at an expense of £2300, of which £1385 were granted as a loan by the Board of First Fruits.

Hi all, My first note to this site...... I am one of the lucky few who has relatives in the remnants of the 1821 census. KELLYs of Derryvullan parish. My brother actually looked through it for me while in Belfast last year. I would like to look through it myself as he only extracted Kellys for me and didn't have time to look for our 2g grandmother, Jane STINSON / STEPHENSON. When I went to the local LDS family history rooms, we couldn't find a microfilm listed for the 1821 census for Fermanagh and myself and the volunteer who helped me assumed that the LDS don't have the 1821 census on microfilm. According to Don Holmes in Canada the film is available for hire from the LDS? Can someone tell me what the film is indexed under on the LDS lists so that I can hire the film? Thank you and regards, Cate Kelly Brisbane, Australia

I have just joined the Fermanagh list and would like to post details of my great-great-grandparents Robert IRWIN and Frances BURLEIGH married at Florencecourt, near Enniskillen, on 2 June 1854 (this info from the birth cert. of a son born in Australia). They appear to have arrived in Victoria sometime between 1855 and 1860. Again from info on birth certs. Robert IRWIN was b. c1819 and Frances Jane BURLEIGH b. c1821. Info. on Frances' death cert. states her parents were Thomas and Margaret BURLEY, informant her son Henry and info. given by children born in AUS is often not correct. Names of Robert and Frances' children were: William b. c1855 (his marr. cert. states b. Dublin) Jane b. c1858 (place not known) Henry b. 1859 Geelong VIC AUS Robert b. 1861 Geelong VIC AUS Would be grateful for any info on this family. Eril Willmott Melbourne VIC AUS

I am open to any and all suggestions for finding a list of the children born to Robert N. Gilmore and Sarah Bleakley whom I believe lived in Drumcullion, County Fermanagh. I wrote to the Church of Ireland Rector in Kilskeery, County Tyrone where they were married in 1846 but none of the children were baptised there. Does anyone know the address for the Church of Ireland nearest Drumcullion? Thanks, Peggy O'Keefe

Hello all, Can anyone tell me anything abt Irvinestown? Is it a small village or could it be considered a town? I had a gt grandfather, John Drumm, son of a James Drumm, bn c1826 in Derryvullan, Irvinestown and wondered if it would have just been a small farming community in those days. It is generally thought James Drumm married Rebecca Maguire in 1822. Would like to find out a bit of local history associated with Derryvullan and Irvinestown. Can anyone help please with the history lesson? Kate Hands, Mornington, Victoria, Australia.

Has anyone come across the name MURVERNAGH in their research? Does anyone know its meaning, or derivation? My friends in Co Fermanagh, the LOVEs, tell me their name was changed from Murvernagh to LOVE somewhere after 1800. I have found MURVERNAGH and MORVERNOUGH in the Catholic Qualification Rolls Index 1796 (Clogher Record, 1959 p. 544), living in the same parish (and no LOVEs.) But by 1853 it is LOVE. I am wondering how the name got from one to the other! I have heard of McGrath (Gra) being translated as Love, but never heard of Murvernagh. I have alread looked at The Book of Ulster Surnames, and it does not mention MURVERNAGH (or anything close) either as a derivation of LOVE, or by itself. Thanks for any insights-- Janet C-S

I am seaching for information on a CHARLES KERR b c1830 to Patrick and Catherine (nee Terry) possibly in Derryvullan,Co Fermanagh. Charles arrived in Brisbane,Australia on 28/5/1863 on the ship"Golden Dream". Any information on the KERR / TERRY families of the time is appreciated. Thanks, Danny Kerr dannykerr@bigpond.com

Have you seen the relevant parts on Caldwell, Horisk etc in The Book of Ulster Surnames by Robert Bell, Blackstaff Press, Belfast, 1988, reprinted most recently 1997?

Well this is my last try at any information on my Caldwells from the Tyrone, Ulster, Fermanagh, area. Have not had anything promising so far. James Caldwell born 1724, possible brothers, David, William, Samuel. Married Elizabeth Alexander from Scotland and then Donegal in 1752. Had first son John born in 1753, several children followed. James and Eliz. and brood traveled to Have de Grace, Md. and landed in 1769. One son Samuel was born at sea. James was a merchant in Baltimore. They then moved to Ft. Henry, which is now Wheeling., W. Va. James was a large landowner and appointed Justice of the Peace by Patrick Henry.He help defend Ft. Henry . He died there in 1804, leaving 14 children. Would appreciate any little nugget you could send me. I want to know exactly where he was born or his parents names. He has been linked with Castle Caldwell people but I have not found any thing to make me believe this---none of the dates I have fit his time period. Thanks- Pat in Ohio
