Does anyone have any reference to either of the above surnames in Fermanagh? I believe that a Sidney Lannia (Tannia?) married Thomas McBrien of Tiranagher about 1802. Bill Barber Hudson, NH USA carv22@email.mot.com
Does anyone know the definition or location of Whealt? Or Barr of Whealt? Also the geographical difference between Upper Ardies and Lower Ardies? Bill Barber carv22@email.mot.com
There is a Donagh in Co. Tyrone.

Some of the larger files take a while to load though. There are parish maps, too, and the site is not complete yet, though it is still usable as is. Janet C-S

Can someone please help, where are these two places, I have had a look on two of my maps and can't find them, from Belinda.
The name Veech sounded familiar to me so I checked my files from Devenish Parish Baptisms. I note that: Patrick Dundas and Eleanor Veech Dundas of Scandilly had a daughter, Elizabeth, born 11 Jan. 1807 Patrick Dundas and Elizabeth Veech Dundas of Scandilly had a daughter, Margaret, born in 1809 Patrick Dundas and Eleanor Veech Dundas of Drumcroohan had a daughter, Elizabeth, born 1811 I don't know why there were 2 Elizabeth's unless the first died. Also don't know where Scandilly or Drumcroohan are in relationship to Enniskillen. Perhaps further Veech baptism records could be found in the Devenish Parish Registers. I was looking for Dundas. If your great grandfather married Sarah Ann Duffey in Fermanagh after 1850, it is possible that the marriage data is also recorded at the Enniskillen Town Hall. Bill Barber Hudson, NH USA
>From Enniskillen. Jeremiah & Ann Trotter Elliott b abt 1880, and their grown children and grandchildren immigrated to Quebec, Canada abt 1835. Their Children were: Rebecca m.

Ann Bell I would be interested in hearing from anyone that could tell me what Enniskillen would have been like, why the may have left, and if there were a lot of the above family names in that town. They would have been Scottish I would imagine. How long would the Scottish people have been in Ireland. We were said to have had "Spanish Blood" How might this have happened. Were there Spanish people living in Fermanagh at that time? I look forward to the list and hearing all that you have to say.

Looking for information on how to trace my great grandfather who came from Enniskillen, Ireland, to Canada. I do not know the year yet, but it had to be between 1850 to 1880. Any suggestions on beginning my search? ? He wed Sarah Ann Duffey, who also came from Ireland. Any lookups I can request? I am new to this so any help would be beneficial. Thank you.
I looked over the record of theis O Flanagan ancestor who emigrated in 1833 to join the Jesuits, and discovered my Peter O FLANAGAN arrived in the US with what seems to be a cousin, who also entered the Jesuits, but didn't stay. His name, in case anyone is interested, is Hugo McLAUGHLIN born 18 Aug 1811 Devenish parish, Fermanagh. Peter's records also indicate he spoke "Lingua Hibernican" which shows that the old tongue was still alive in rural Fermanagh in the 1830s (just as John O Donovan's Ordnance Survey letters say). Amazing how two words in a record can give a little window into the past! Janet C-S

Oaten bread ws the most >common type made, while barley bread was regarded as suitable for monks and >others who wished to mortify themselves, and wheaten bread was regarded as a >luxury.

Here, the stone was heated by placing >hot coals from the fire on it and then after they were removed the bread was >placed on the hot stone. This was repeated on different parts of the >flagstone until the bread was baked. Oaten bread was usually baked on edge >in front of the fire, and the oaten cakes were supported in this position by >a simple stand often crudely fashioned from a piece of triple forked wood. >In some areas beautifully carved stone stands have been found and in the >north of the country wrought iron stands or specially designed fenders made >by blacksmiths were popular. >Stands for a single cake known as breadsticks, consisted of an arched back >against which the cake rested, and a small shelf at the bottom on which the >cake stood.

The fenders-known >as harnen fenders, were made to hold up to four cakes and the two halves >could be opened out to partly enclose the fire.

Both the griddle and the pot oven could be either hung over the fire >or rested on a trivet over the hot embers.

Dear Listers Following my posting last week I have now put the names up on my family web site. A couple of pages might interest you: Tenants names organised alphabetically District names with associated tenants names An interesting poster dated 1845 showing local names of people giving their support to Folliott Warren Barton following an assassination attempt on his life. More information will follow as I transcribe the information. The starting page is http://members.tripod.com/Jan_Hart/clonelly.htm then follow the links which interest you.

I am also on the Shamrock list and a very kind lady looked up on Griffiths Valuation all the James and Thomas Wests for me. I had no idea where to start as all I had was my GG'father James West was born in Ireland and his father's name was Thomas West. I had been told a story by my cousin that there was a rumor in the family that James was the illegitimate son of an Earl and Thomas West worked at his place and the child was given to him for him to carry the West name. This does sound a bit far fetched to me but who knows? I needed to find Thomas West in either case. I went through the lists and found there were a James West, Thomas West and Thomas West jr in Fermanagh county, Galloon parish and the location of Clonelty. If anyone on this list would have any information on them I would appreciate it. James West was born in 1839 and was in England in 1863 when he married my GG'mother, Elizabeth Shaw. Thank You Georgina in Northern California
