Listers, For those for whom I did look-ups in the Voter Registration Lists--I goofed when giving the values of land . They should have been in pounds sterling, not shillings! Janet C-S

These folks are a branch of Clan Dalach... mostly flourished during the 10th to the 12th centuries until the Maguires "took over" Fermanagh. I would have to know some more about where you got the reference and what time frame is involved to help you locate which person this is. Phil

Hello all, My name is Kate Hands. I am a newcomer to this list and look forward to exchanging information with others regarding my main family of interest - the Drumms, of Derryvullan, Irvinestown, nr Enniskillen. Does anyone else have an interest in this family? Kate Hands, Australia.

Dear List, Let me explain a few things about the list I recently offered (offer now closed) to check. These lists were for Sept 26 and Oct 3, 1839. Several people asked, and from some comments, I see I should clarify some points. (I am still learning about voting priveleges in Ireland, but thanks to Dr. Jim Ryan, I now understand it a little better. Perhaps if I don't explain this quite correctly, he will jump in and help out.) • The idea of univeral suffrage is relatively new. In the 18th and 19th centuries, voting was for the privileged few. • Voting was for men--women did not vote. • The right to vote was tied to property, but the amount of property a man had to own or occupy in order to vote varied through the years. The general idea was to keep the common rabble from voting. • In 1692, the Penal laws forbid Catholics from owning property, but in the 1780s, these restrictions were lifted for those Catholics who took an oath of allegiance to the Crown.) However, whether one could vote (for both Catholics and Protestants) still depended on how much property was owned, or leased. • In 1839, the right to vote was extended to 10s land occupiers. (Land worth 10s or more.) While a man did not have to own land to vote, he had to occupy land of a certain value (established by the value of the lease). A freeholder was a person who held land for the duration of his life or that of a specified individual(s), in contrast to short-term leaseholders or annual rent payers. In order to vote, a man had to register in the County town (possibly in nearest large town). Lists of people who registered were published in local papers, such as the Impartial Reporter and the Fermanagh Farmer's Journal, in 1839 and 1840. What does it mean if your ancestor was not found on the 1839 list that I checked? It could mean: • he registered later and his name appears in a different issue. • he registered somewhere other than Enniskillen. • he never registered because he did not occupy land worth at least10s, or because he had a short-term lease, or paid an annual rent. • he was too young. • he was not in Fermanagh at the time, because he had already emigrated. • he was living with his parent or other relative who was the freeholder or leaseholder. If I am lucky enough to get to Fermanagh again tis summer, I plan to make copies of the other lists published in 1839 and 1840. If and when I do, I will offer look-ups for them. Hope this helps clear up some things about the voter lists. Janet C-S

I have just finished viewing a film of the 1851 census for Clonee Town, Fermanagh & thought that it may be of intrest to others if I listed the few surnames mentioned. Crozier, Cullen, Fox, Gallagher, Gilbert, Irvine, Johnston, Knot, Maguire, McCormick, McGlaghlin (Mclaughlin), Morris, Muldoon, Mullen & Sweeney. (plus 2 others I couldn't make out.) This film is available from a LDS FHS (film number 100858) Hope this is of interest to someone. John McLoughlin.

--Boundary_(ID_UcGX39ws7fX8XtREO7A8gw) Content-type: TEXT/PLAIN Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT Thomas Wilson I, too, am looking for ships in this era. A gentleman from Enniskillen wrote and advised me that people from the Beleek and Garrison area of Fermanagh generally left via the port of Sligo. (closest). In 1830 it began to increase and was very busy for the next few years. (he quoted from the Sligo Observer) Of course once the famine hit it reached far greater levels. Most common destination was Quebec. I have looked at several web sites with passenger lists and found a few from Sligo but none with the Brocks that I seek. I will watch for Wilsons from now on and keep your address. --Boundary_(ID_UcGX39ws7fX8XtREO7A8gw)--

Hi, can you share with us the websites you used to find passenger lists of ships from Sligo to Quebec? Thanks in advance, Sandi

Hi listers: I have a copy of the lists of people registering to vote in Enniskillen, Co Fermanagh, in Sept and Oct 1839, printed in the Impartial Reporter.

Here are the rules: 1. Send to me off-list. 2. No more than 2 surnames. 3. For common surnames, you must give me the Civil Parish, OR the surname AND given name. 4. Include words "Voter reg lookup" in SUBJECT. 5. You must use the words please and thank you. <g> If there are many many requests, those producing no result will get simply the answer: "Sorry, none found." It may sound curt, but if there are a lot of requests, I won't have time for long gracious replies. <g> Janet C-S

WILSON, Try this list: <A HREF="http://istg.rootsweb.com/">ISTG</A> Good Luck, Joyce

Looking for the names of any ships that may have sailed in 1833-34, which passengers from County Fermanagh. My ggggrandparents Thomas and Margaret (maiden name unknown) arrived in Hastings County, Ontario Canada in about 1834. They would have left County Fermanagh in the comapny of their son John, b. October 24, 1815, (perhaps other children Thomas Morley, James, Robert and Edward), along with Thomas' brother and wife John and Jane Wilson. Thomas Lester Wilson twilson@pathwaynet.com

I am looking for information on the COFFY and RUTLEDGE lines. John COFFY and his wife Elizabeth "Bessie" RUTLEDGE immigrated from Ireland to Carroll County, Ohio in the 1830s. Most everyone from Ireland that came to Carroll County during that time seems to have originally lived in County Fermanagh, Trory Parish, Enniskillen. A descendant of James McCOURT -- who stood up for John COFFY in court -- provided me with that information. It is our opinion that they were probably neighbors back in Ireland.

Hi list I need any available information on a passenger ship travelling in 1777 from Cork Ireland to New York with its passengers final destination Quebec. Her name was "The British Queen" and "Royal George" was one of her escorts. Any scrap of information would be very much appreciated. Peggy Searching HALL

Would anyone mind doing a census lookup for me? I am interested in the family of Philip TREACY, who was a farmer in the townland of KILLYRAW, parish of GALLOON. Thank you Gary Sellers Lansing,Michigan U.S.A
