Hi Leanne Ederney is a small village on the northern border of Fermanagh about 6 miles from Irvinestown. Nowadays its biggest business is a builders suppliers where folk for miles around go to buy timber, house fittings, cement etc. There are several pubs and a few food shops. The main road from Omagh west to Kesh and Donegal passes through Ederney. A couple of years ago they put a roundabout in the middle of the village and now folk have to slow down driving through and notice the place is there!

The data base on the Irish Times site used the old name for this Poor Law Union and I would think it is taking it from one of the 19th cent atlases. I wondered where Lowerstown was, but didn't bother to dig out a map to look ;-) Janet C-S
To All Whom It May Concern: Search the DESCRIPTIVE & HISTORICAL REGISTER of Enlisted Soldiers in the U.S. Army, who served At Buffalo, between 1835 and 1846. This is a free service on: The Buffalo Barracks Historical Web Site [ http://www.buffalonet.org/army ] Every pre-Civil War state was well represented at this short lived federal military post. Many soldiers had come from ENGLAND, GERMANY, SCOTLAND, and all of the counties in IRELAND, and honorably served the U. S. Army in the Florida Indian Wars, the War with Mexico, and then the Civil War. There are over 1,650 soldiers personal data listed, the majority having been born in Ireland. Perhaps you have an ancestor who was at the Buffalo Barracks? Cliff Williams 104740.372@compuserve.com

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">Irish Ancestors;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

If you follow the links from the PRONI page: Geographical Index, County--Fermanagh, then Parishes, you will see a map of Fermanagh showing where this parish is. The map that shows the townlands is not up yet, but this will give you a general idea. Since the Poor Law Union is listed as Lowstherstown, it is probably within 10 miles of that town. Janet C-S

COUNTY OF FERMANAGH Fermanagh, an inland county in the province of Ulster, is bounded on the north by Donegal and Tyrone, on the east by Tyrone and Monaghan, on the south by Cavan and on the west by Cavan and Leitrim. Its length from near Rosslea to the north-west boundary near Beleek is 45 miles, and its breadth from north-east to south-west is 29 miles. Name and Former Divisions The name of the county is derived from the tribe called Fir-Monach. Monach who was fifth in descent from Cahirmore, King of Ireland from A.D. 120 to 123, settled on the coast of Lough Erne towards the end of the third century, and his descendants eventually spread themselves over the entire county. For several centuries the county belonged to the family of Maguire, and hence was known as the "Maguires Country." The ancient name of Enniskillen was "Inis-Cethlenn," so called from the island of Kethlenda, whoh was the wife of the famous mythical hero "Balor of the Mighty Blows," chief of the sea robbers called Formorians. Bellisle was formerly called Ballymacmanus or Senat Macmanus, after the family of Macmanus, its owners. Here lived Cahal Maguire, Dean of Clogher in the 15th century, one of the greatest of Irish Scholars and Historians: his "Annals of Ulster" is one of the most valuable works dealing with Irish history. "Tooraw" was the ancient name of that part of the county which lies between Lough Melvin and Lough Erne. The Baronies of Clankelly and Clanawley are named after the tribes which inhabited these districts. Physical Features The chain of lakes formed by the two Loughs Erne practically divides the county into two halves. On either side of the lakes the ground is level for one or two miles, but the greater part of the remainder of the county is hilly. The Upper Lough Erne and the Lower Lough Erne are connected by the river Erne, the distance between the two being about eight miles. The Upper lake is about 10 miles long and has an average breadth of about two miles; its coast line is very much broken and it contains many small islands. The lower lake is about 18 miles in length, and is about 5 ½ miles at its greatest breadth. The other larger lakes are Lower Lough Macnean or Lough Nilly, a small portion of which is in Co. Cavan, and Upper Lough Macnean, 4 ½ miles long. Only a small portion of Lough Melvin is in the county. Drumgay Lake, two miles north of Enniskillen is remarkable for a number of "crannoges" a name given to old island habitations. There are many smaller lakes scattered throughout the county. The two highest Mountain summits, namely Cullcagh(2,188) and Tiltinbane (1,949) stand on the south-west boundary, and run into Cavan. Six miles west of Enniskillen stands Belmore Mountain (1,312) remarkable for some ancient sepulchral monuments, and near by is Ora More (854). Knockmore Cliff (919), near Derrygonnelly, is remarkable for its caves and the ancient inscriptions which they contain. Close by stands Trustia (989). Shean North (1,135) rises precipitously from Lough Erne, and near by is Drumbad(1,009). In the south of the county is Slieve Rushen (1,269) and knockninny (628), a picturesque hill. On the eastern side of the lakes, starting from the south-east are Slieve Beagh which belongs partly to Fermanagh, Tyrone and Monaghan, the principle summit of this range is Dooharn (1,255) entirely in this county. Carnmore (1,034) lies east of Lisnaskea, Brocker (1,056) and Topped (909) near Tempo. Tappaghan (1,122) is the principle summit in the north. The principle river in the county is the Erne which forms a very fine cascade near the town of Beleek: it has several small tributaries running into it from the hills on either side. The Woodford river forms part of the boundary, between Fermanagh and Cavan before it falls into Upper Lough Erne. The Clodagh or Swanlinbar river and the Arney also flow into Upper Lough Erne. The Sillees joins the Erne above Enniskillen, and the Roogagh flows west into Lough Melvin. On the north-east side of the county the Colebrooke River flows by Maguiresbridge into Lough Erne, and the Tempo river joins it a mile below the town. The Ballinamard river flows by the town of that name into Lower Lough Erne, and into the same lake flow the Kesh, past Ederney and Kesh, the Bannagh and the Termon River flowing by Pettigo. The islands of the two Loughs Erne are very numerous and of various sizes. In the Upper Lake the chief islands are Innismore Cleanish, Traunish, Inishcorkish, Naan and Belleisle. In the Lower Lake, Boa is 4 ½ miles long, and the other islands are Lustymore, Lustybeg, Cruninish, Hare, Crevinshaughy, Inishmakill and Inishmacsaint which contains an ancient church ruin. Two miles below Enniskillen stands the island of Devinish. Analysis of the census for the county Comparative Statistics (1821-1926) Fermanagh census stats Males Females Total 1821 63,627 63,370 130,997 1831 73,117 76,646 149,763 1841 76,982 79,499 156,481 1851 56,839 59,218 116,047 1861 51,835 53,933 105,768 1871 45,430 47,364 92,784 1881 42,060 42,819 84,789 1891 37,344 36,826 74,170 1901 33,231 32,199 65,430 1911 31,690 30,146 61,836 1926 30,102 27,882 57,984 Families and Houses The average number of families in the county was 12,984, the average number in each family being 4.4. The number of inhabited houses was 12,924, showing an average number of 4.4 persons to each house. The special inmates of public institutions are omitted from these calculations. There were in the county 8,648 Occupiers or heads of Families who were in occupation of less than five rooms, being 66.6% of the total for the county. Of these, 318 or 2.5% of the families in the county occupied one room; 1,785, or 13.7% two rooms; 3,802, or 29.3% three rooms; and 2,743 or 21.1% occupied four rooms. There were in the county 187 tenements in which the room had only one occupant; 111 cases where the room had 2-4 occupants ; 177 cases in which there were 5-7 occupants and 3 cases in which the occupants exceeded 7 in number, including one case where nine persons occupied the same room. Marriages, Births and Deaths Number registered in the county during the ten years ending March 31, 1911, and the average annual rate as compared with the corresponding rates for all Ireland. Marriages Births Deaths Number Registered 2,908 13,305 10,366 Av. Ann. rate/1000 pop. Fermanagh 4.6 20.9 16.3 For all Ireland 5.1 23.1 17.3 [Note: in directory it actually lists per 100 population for Co. Fermanagh. However, for all other counties it lists per 1000. The average figure for all Ireland used for comparison does not differ from that given for other counties where per 1000 population is listed. For that reason I take the 100 to be a typographical error - Jane] Birthplace of Inhabitants: Of the population in 1926, 82.2% were born in the county, 5.1% in other counties in Northern Ireland, 10.2% in the Irish Republic, 2.2% in Great Britain and 0.3% were born abroad. Education In 1911 there were in the country 51,156 persons aged 9 years and upwards; of these 43,466 or 85% could read and write; 2,468 or 4.8% could read only; and 5,222 or 10.2% were illiterate. As this is the first census for which the age was raised from 5 years to nine years it is not possible to compare results from previous censuses. However, the report states that the percentage of those of 5 years and upwards who were unable to read and write was 15.4% in 1891; 13.1% in 1901 and in 1911 had fallen to 13%.

Hi all, I am new to the list and an researching the DICKSON family of Enniskillen, Fermanagh, Ireland. William Dickson was born in 1808 in Enniskillen. He immigrated to the USA and was naturalized in 1834 in Buffalo, N.Y. According to a second cousin the family owned a linen mill in Enniskillen. She says that a solicitor from Ireland wrote to the son of William, George William DICKSON asking him what he wanted to do about the linen mill, according to her he never responded. I would appreciate any help or suggestions on this family. Thank you, Deborah Andrus (nee' Rutherfurd) Provo, Utah, USA

I have a copy of the 1846 marriage record (protestant) for my great grandparents who were married in the parish church at Kilskeery, diocese of Clogher, county Tyrone. The bride and groom listed their residences as Garvaghy and Brackaville. I would like to find the birth records of their children who were born between 1847 and 1866. One child listed her birthplace as Drumcullion in the 1920 U.S. census, another Enniskillen on his U.S. naturalization papers. Any suggestions on how to proceed would be gratefully accepted. Thank you, Peggy O'Keefe

Assuming they stayed in the parish where they were married, you should try that parish church. (You could also check to see whether the LDS have filmed the records.) According to Ryan's Irish Records, the records of the C of I parish at Kilkeery begin in 1772 and are in local custody. Garvaghy and Brackagh are both townlands in the civil parish of Kilskeery. So I would write to the rector. Something like the following should get it there. Rector Church of Ireland Parish of Kilkeery Co Tyrone, NI For any births after 1864 you can write to the General Register Office, Oxford House, Balmoral Ave, Belfast, NI. Kilkeery is in the E. D of Drumharvey. Good luck! Janet Cassidy-Stroh
I think it is easier than that. While surfing the PRONI site at: http://proni.nics.gov.uk/geogindx/town.htm <http://proni.nics.gov.uk/geogindx/town.htm> , I found "The Townlands Index arranged alphabetically by Estate. Ely contains the Parish of Inishmacsaint and I believe parts of Devenish. Not sure about Boho. Perhaps the Estates of Belmore, Erne, Enniskillen, Clanawley or Lisnaskea. That could be cross-referenced with the Townlands by Parish lists at: http://proni.nics.gov.uk/geogindx/parishes/ <http://proni.nics.gov.uk/geogindx/parishes/> index.htm Janet wrote "Does anyone know of any books (or other sources) that show which townlands belonged to which estates? What I'd love to see if it exists, is a map of civil parish showing to whom townlands belonged. I'm especially interested in parishes of Devenish and Boho. " Sounds a great idea Janet. Don't know of any such but it ought to be easily done with a townland map and Griffiths Primary valuation. Maurice Cassidy
The following comes from a number of Sources: >From a report 1841: By Dr. Francis White M.R.C.S.I. one of the Inspectors General of Gaols in Ireland. It appears that the Governor (Sheriff's prison)was then paid £500 per annum, as well as a share of the fees. These fees were obtained from the rents charged for the accommodation, part of which went to the Governor and part to the Grand Jury. The prison contained 38 rooms, apart from those set aside for Chaplains, for an infirmary and for the Keeper, who supplied furniture according to the ability of the prisoner to pay for it. Four front rooms on the first landing were furnished, for which 10s weekly was charged for each person in them, but there were often four persons to a room. Out of these rents 3s per room went to the credit of the Grand Jury and the balance to the Keeper. There were also unfurnished rooms at 3s per head per week, and in the wings, 16 others at 1s.6d per head per week, all of which went to the Grand Jury Funds. The lowest class of prisoner was put in the basement, a dark, unwholesome place, but even these prisoners were charged 9d each per week for their lodging. Dr. White said he could not report favourably on the place, nor, in fact, did it ever seem possible to make a favourable report on any of the prisons on the Little Green. Except that it was whitewashed, its condition in 1841 seems to have been no better than in 1809 - the walls and ceilings were covered with cobwebs, provisions and cooking utensils were thrown in confusion in the corners and the windows were badly fitting. At that period the Governor had to give security in the very large sum of £10,000 for the safe custody of the debtors, and this was a very real responsibility. A few years before a prisoner confined in the Four Courts Marshalsea, whose debts amounted to £6,000,, escaped and made his way to the continent. His creditors sued the Marshal, whom the Courts held responsible for the amount of the prisoners debts. He offered everything he had to the creditors, but some of them refusing to accept a composition, he was arrested and imprisoned. Availing of the Insolvent Debtors Act, he surrendered his entire property, amounting to £1,200, which the Court compelled the creditors to accept and the Marshal was thereupon set free. The laws against debtors were very severe, and affected a great number of persons. In Dublin alone, in 1841, there were nine prisons, five of which were solely for debtors viz.: The Sheriffs Prison, the City Marshalsea adjoining, the Four Courts Marshalsea, St. Sepulchres Manor prison and Smithfield penitentiary (empty at that date). The other four were regarded as convict prisons, namely, Kilmainham, Richmond Bridewell, South Circular Road, Richmond General Penitentiary, Grangegorman and Newgate Prison, the last named also holding some debtors. An Act of Parliament, passed in 1759, for the relief of Insolvent Debtors, listed the names of 356 persons to whom the Act applied, confined in Dublin Prisons alone. By 1841 the numbers committed would seem to have much increased. They were in a most unhappy position, unable either to secure their release or even to maintain themselves. They were usually allowed to beg at the gates of their gaol and even to advertise for donation. The following petition appeared in the Dublin Journal, June 3-5, 1788: "The insolvent debtors in the City Marshalsea that are entitled to the benefit of the Insolvent Act, inform the public that their long confinement has rendered them unable to procure their liberty, not having money to employ a lawyer to do their business, many of them having been confined from 2 to 3 years, whose wives and children being entirely dependant on their industry, are now in a deplorable condition, most humbly request that the charitable and humane will take their distress into consideration and grant them relief" Various voluntary efforts were made to relieve their lot. A Mr. Powell, who had himself once been committed for debt, left a sum of £800 in the hands of the Lord Mayor and Aldermen, from the interest of which a twelvepenny loaf, a piece of beef, some fuel and a guinea each in money, were to be distributed by the Sheriffs to each confined debtor every Christmas Eve. A Society for the relief of debtors was founded in 1773, but lasted only a short time, and was succeeded by the Debtors Friends Society. Its object was to compromise and liquidate small debts for which deserving persons were imprisoned. No composition could be made in respect of any debt over £5, except in exceptional circumstances, and no debt could be discharged which had been incurred for spirituous liquors, nor could any relief be granted to those who had been "guilty of combination", that is to say those who engaged in what would now be called Trade Union Activities. Imprisonment for debt was abolished in 1864. 1870: Saint Catherines Bells: by Walter Thomas Meyler of Dublin. Meylar had been a tea and wine importer on a large scale. He took part in various patriotic movements. As a result of both activities he spent some time in each of the prisons on the Little Green(as well as in the Four Courts Marshalsea, Thomas Street) and has left vivid and lively pen pictures of each. Following an unsuccessful legal action against an English firm he was arrested in December, 1841 for his opponents costs and confined in the Sheriffs prison for a week. The following is his description of the place and his experience therein: "On the top landing of a four storey building were what were called state rooms, furnished in a very indifferent state, and I was introduced into the one,, which forty years before had been the residence of Arthur Wellesley, afterwards Duke of Wellington, where he spent a considerable amount of time, until released by the generous conduct of his bootmaker, who made him the large advance of five hundred pounds on security of his word of honour. As at that period there was no insolvent law, an no release from a debtors prison but on paying the amount, what a phase in the worlds history was caused by the disinterested philanthropy of a Dublin tradesman. As the Mornington family was in very straitened circumstances, poor Wellesley might have remained, as thousands have done, rotting and pining away under the infamous law of arrest for debt, until he was carried out, according to the old saying, heels foremost .. "As I was the newest fish it was my duty and inclination to stand dinner and liquids and accordingly gave my groom Cassidy directions to provide everything suitable from a hotel in Bolton Street. In due course, we discussed the inner comforts, spent a jolly evening until bed-time. My invitation having extended to the state - room prisoners, we sat down a dozen to table, being at the rate of three prisoners to each of the four rooms . "In this establishment - long since closed as a prison and now used as an auxiliary to the North Union Workhouse - I met the usual average of classes, from the perfect gentleman and the honest, honourable, professional and trader, to the keenest schemer and the most depraved swaggerer in society. Victims of the turf, the hells of family scheming of dissipation and drunkenness. Some women and several young scamps, who wore the semblance of heirs, and taught their tailors, bootmakers and others lessons in book keeping." Meylers reference to arthur Wellesley should be taken with considerable reservation. The prison was completed only in 1794 and Wellesley appears to have been serving in india from 1797 to 1805, prior to which he had served in Holland in 1794-5. Sheriffs Prison The original idea of erecting this prison was to prevent the abuses of "sponging houses". These houses were originally taverns or victualling houses in which persons arrested for debt were detained by a bailiff for 24 hours in order to give the arrested ones friends an opportunity to settle the debt. They were usually also the private dwellings of bailiffs, and derived their name from the extortionate charges made for accomodation provided. Warburton says the Sheriffs prison seems to have achieved its purpose, the fees demanded for it being less than the "sponging houses" If so, the conditions it was supposed to have alleviated must have been very bad indeed, judging by the official reports on the prison. It consists of a bleak looking stone building, to which the entrance was obtained by a double sided flight of steps from Green street, on which it fronts. It had two wings back towards Halston street, one on either side, and all were three stories above the basement. It was practically all cells, fairly roomy, with stout doors and massive locks. The locks were 18 inches in length and 13 inches wide. The key weighed over a pound and was 10 inches long. 1809: Police magistrate report. They found the place in a state of filth and dirt, loathsome to a degree. One cell under the very body of the building, had been converted into a common dirt hole into which all of the dirt of the prison had been put for 6 months. Walls of apartments had not been whitewashed within memory of any confined within, and wee covered with vermin. The prison was for debtors only, but the unfortunates had to rent this miserable accommodation from the Keeper at prescribed rates, or from the original tenant at greatly enhanced rates for only a portion of the cell. The magistrates obviously suspected the Keeper of sharing in the profits, but were unable to verify their suspicions. The sewers were all out of order and part of the iron railing to the stairs broken away. The Keeper when spoken to about the dirt said he could not afford to keep it clean as besides the fees he paid the Registrars of the Judges for bringing up prisoners, he had to pay the Sheriffs £100 a year, which , if true, was quite illegal. FOUR COURTS MASHALSEA "Your Committee visited and narrowly inspected this Prison, and found the common Halls below and several Rooms above, so filthy and crowded with Men, Women and Children, that it appeared to them extraordinary how they supported Life with any Degree of Comfort, the Sick and Healthy were indiscriminately mixed in the same Room; they likewise discovered that Usury was carried on in an extraordinary Manner by one Lanahan, whose Room they visited, and found an inside Room furnished with a Strange Variety of all Sorts of Pledges, which he acknowledged he had taken for money Lent; it had the Appearance of a Regular Office for transacting Business; and your Committee were credibly informed, he had carried on this Trade upwards for four Years; they were told that the usual Interest demanded and taken was 1d per week for 1s" (1783) "The lower rooms very dirty - never white-washed. Six or eight in a room (about 14ft x 13ft). Each pays a penny a night; above stairs 15 pence a week; for an entire room five shillings a week; except one room (13.5 feet x 10) the pay for which is 3s 9 ½ d. All are without furniture. The rooms are crowded with wives (or reputed wives), children, dogs etc. In most of the lower rooms, the debtors sell whiskey; one was a pawnbrokers shop. On the night preceding one of my visits, many had been gambling, drinking & fighting. The committee of the House of Commons reported March 12, 1787, that this prison appears a scene of disorder, irregularity and intoxication ." Howard, p. 80 CITY MARSHALSEA: "This is without doubt, the worst constructed Prison in this city, and the responsibility attached to me as Inspector of City Prisons, with respect to this Marshalsea, is really unpleasant, as I only possess the name, without the power to alleviate the distress of the prisoners. I had about a year ago the power of providing straw and coals for the common hall, but as the grand jury could not legally provide any sum t o cover such expense I thought it advisable to apply to the corporation of the city: but in the present deranged state of their finances (through the order passed) yet the means are not forthcoming. Thus, on the subscription of prisoners/ .. and on casual charity, are the unfortunate inmates of the City Marshalsea depending;; and I can truly assert that I look upon the times when I have to visit this prison as the most uncomfortable hours of my life, being obliged to visit such an asylum of misery, without the power of ordering the windows to be glazed, or any other little accommodation to be given to the prisoners, who stand much in need of assistance; without doubt the citizens of Dublin are most charitable, and this prison has partaken of the effects of their benevolence " "The hatch of this prison has been repaired, within the last year, but every other part is falling fast into decay" Report on the State of Prisons in Ireland, 1818, p. 9 (Report of Rev. P. Gamble, Local Inspector) BLACK DOG PRISON In the early 17th Century it was called Brownes Castle (1614) being afterwards converted into an inn, then known from its sign of a talbot or hound, as the Black Dog. In the beginning of the 18th century it was used as the Marshalsea Prison. John Howard writing in 1789, describes it as "an old building, dirty and not white washed." Here, there had been a scene of confusion and riot the night before, which had brought hither the Sheriff with the city guard .."The wives and children of the debtors living with them, bring in spirits, and this makes most of the lower rooms gin shops: to which may be added, that the prisoners are quite idle and unemployed. The garnish is two bottles of whiskey. Here there are persons confined who had large families, whose debts and costs were under ten shillings. A charitable society for the relief of poor debtors, distributes a sixpenny loaf weekly to the most necessitous in this prison" In 1783, Sir Jeremiah Fitzpatrick MD, stated that "Black Dog, in the city of Dublin, is in a most unwholesome Situation in New Hall Market, surrounded with every exhalation necessary to promote Putrefaction" When the new Sheriffs prison was erected at Green Street in 1794 the Black Dog was abandoned.

Marcy Clair Thank you for your reference to Ellen Gallagher. Unfortunately I do not know whether my John Gallagher had any siblings. We know that his daughter was not married when she emigrated to North America in the 1880s to join her eleven brothers and their families. She remained in Ireland until the death of her parents and initially asked if she could join her brother Edward in London. He advised against it and said that London was not safe for Irish people. It proved so - he was beaten up whilst on duty in the Met and had to retire to Devon where he kept a shop until his early death from his injuries in 1901. Bill Barber Thank you for your information and useful suggestions for my research. Vivien Arthur (Nee Gallagher)
