Would the person researching Mick LOVE of Fermanagh who was in the RIC, please contact me? Thanks, Janet C-S

Hi All, I just got back from a month in Ireland and was looking at the spinning wheel list for County Donegal and the surname STEWART , and there were quite a few so I would say it would be a mix. Maybe the Protestant had more spinnning wheels since they had more ground then the Catholics then, and of course it was based on how much flax they raised. Janet thanks for the info on the Old Rectory is was really nice and very convenient to the PRO. Barbara

It is seldom I can answer a question asked here and by the time I am able to another person has answered it much better than any offering I could submit. I really like this forum because the people are learning and sharing. While in Enniskillen last year I bought an OS map of Tempo, Maguiresbridge and Enniskillen [1900]. The instructions for writing for a catalogue of available maps is: Send a stamped addressed envelope to the publisher - Published by Alan Godfrey Maps, 57 Spoor St. Dunston, Gateshead, NE11 9BD They have Lisnaskea & Newtownbutler (sheet 57) and large scale plans are available for Belfast, Downpatrick, Dublin, Enniskillen, Holywood, Limavady, Londonderry and Strabane according to the information on the map I have. I have located several places mentioned by my family which indicate my "Walmsleys" all came from the Ballinamallard area rather than the Londonderry area. This is not a commercial :) Dot

Two good sites to know about for finding places in Northern Ireland are: If you are not sure whether the place is in the Republic of Ireland or in Northern Ireland, use <A HREF="http://www.ireland.com/ancestor/placename/index.cfm"> IrishAncestors;Placenames</A> on the Irish Times site. http://www.ireland.com/ancestor/placename/index.cfm If you are sure it is in Northern Ireland, you can also use the Geographical Index on the PRONI homepage: <A HREF="http://proni.nics.gov.uk/index.htm"> PRONI Homepage</A> http://proni.nics.gov.uk/index.htm The index is usable for searching even though not complete. It now has maps of each of the 6 counties, showing parishes and baronies. Eventually it will have maps of each parish, showing the townlands! This is an immense project, but will be a wonderful source when completed. (But it is still usable to find places even now--just takes a bit more hunting around.) Between the two sites you can find most places in Ireland. Don't forget to try alternate spellings, because spellings of places have changed over the years. And you can read up on what exactly a townland is, and the definition of a civil parish, etc., on the PRONI Geographical index, too! Janet C-S

I too would like to access, or find a copy of, this as well !!! Diane P.

Hi Michael, My Great Grandfather, James Cooper was born in Edenaclough on 12 April 1829. Edenaclough is about 2 miles east of Ederney? Do you know if Edenaclough still exists and if so how could I find out more about it? James came to New Brunswick Canada when he was 6 weeks old but I do not know his parents names. I suspect from his children's names that his father was John Cooper and mother Ann (Graham) who are buried in the village in New Brunswick where he grew up. Any information that you can provide will be much appreciated.

Does anyone have access to Lowry-Corry "Derryvullen Old Churchyard" names on inscriptions, published in the Journal of the Association for the Preservation of the Memorials of the Dead (1915) ix, page 271. Regards, Doug Fletcher Edmonton, Canada

My ancestor Francis TREACY,was born in 1850-51 . His father's name was Philip who farmed 23 acres in the townland of Killyraw, in the parish of Galloon. Would someone be willing to look up Francis' birth and Philips' family in the census? I would rather pay an individual than go the snail mail route to PRONI. Thanks in advance Gary Sellers

My maternal G.Grandfather,John James AIKEN was born on the 16th May 1869,Birthplace was given as Ederney,Fermanagh,Ireland???.Can someone please tell me where exactly is it situated,and I hope I'm on the right mail list???. cheers Leanne from Northern NSW,AUSTRALIA

The old name Lowtherstown appears in the message below. Since the mid 1800s it has been called Irvinestown after the surname of the gentleman who lived in Necarne Castle nearby. However, nearly 150 years later there is not total agreement to this change. Right in the middle of Irvinestown's main street is a general hardware and grocery and newspaper shop which rebelliously calls itself above the door @Lowtherstown Co-Operative Stores' Michael Ardlougher, Irvinestown -----Original Message----- From: Caiside@aol.com <Caiside@aol.com> To: FERMANAGH-L@rootsweb.com <FERMANAGH-L@rootsweb.com> Date: 25 March 1999 13:32 Subject: Re: John James AIKEN>Ederney ??,Ireland > >In a message dated 3/25/99 7:08:10 AM, leaq@ultra.aunz.net wrote: > ><<My maternal G.Grandfather,John James AIKEN was born on the 16th May >1869,Birthplace was given as Ederney,Fermanagh,Ireland???.Can someone please >tell me where exactly is it situated,and I hope I'm on the right mail >list???.>> > >You're on the right list. :-) >I used the geographical index on the PRONI homepage >http://proni.nics.gov.uk/index.htm and found that Ederny (note spelling now) >is in the civil parish of Magheraculmoney.
