The lists printed by Harris {Life of William 111.} in 1749, which, he said,were true copies from the Act of Attainer in the Rolls Office, differ from those of King in some respects.

Andrew Forster and Hugh.Rosse are also omitted unless they are the same as those names are given under Tyrone. Thomas Bird appears as Brid, Thomas Chittoge as Chittee, and Alex Forker as Farkwar. He adds the following names-Charles Charlton, Gent,. and Alexander Charters,. Gent. Harris has no Fermanagh names in the second and third lists;those given by King he puts in the fourth lists {"All Persons under this Article, being residents in England, are to signify their loyalty { in case the king comes there} by Oct. 1st, 1689, and on his Certificate to the cheif Governor of Ireland, they are to be discharged, otherwise to stand attained.} He adds the names of John Irwin and John Caldwell{no descriptions.} In the First List he omits Lady Anna,Catherina.Hamilton. Col.Wood-Martin, in his Sligo and The Enniskilleners says that the Bill was drawn up in such haste that " the names of many partisans of William where whooly omitted; some names were several times repeated; many were attainted by wrong surnames, whilst to others no Christian names were attached," It is only in this way that one can explain- e.g. why the names of the worhty Provost,Paul Dane was not included.

My gg grandfather's death certificate says his parents were born in Co. Fermanagh. That's all I have for a location. John Bryan was born in 1829 or 1830 and died in Brooklyn in 1869. He was probably not Catholic since he is not buried in a Catholic cemetery. He was buried in a plot owned by James Gilfillan. James also was his witness for naturalization. James and John were about the same age. Is someone able to check the 1851 census for Bryan and for Gilfillan or Gillfillan? John arrived in NY in 1851 but family members may still have been in Fermanagh. I'm wondering if Gilfillan is a Fermanagh name. Thanks for your help.

Were these people all being tried for treason?? Or was it a list of people taking an oath, or what? They seem to be all Protestant names? Had they been in rebellion? Anyone? Janet C-S

Allingham is the family name of what was a well to do family in Ballyshannon around 1800. One was the customs officer there, for what was a busy little port, and a notable poet, who wrote verses on the Erne. I think there is still a local hotel called the Allingham Arms. -----Original Message----- From: Max <mcb@xcelco.on.ca> To: FERMANAGH-L@rootsweb.com <FERMANAGH-L@rootsweb.com> Date: 03 March 1999 20:38 Subject: Rosscor >Hello: > I have just received a map of Co.

. On one of my maps, there is a "Rosscor Viaduct" at the outlet of Lough Erne, near Belleek. There is also an "eel weir" near there. I believe that is sort of like a hatchery. > >Bill Barber >Hudson, NH, USA > >Hi Bill and all The 'Rosscor viaduct' is actually a bridge across the river channel from the main lake towards Beleek developed from a temporary bridge and the eel weir is an arrangement for catching eels as they enter the river and lake from the sea - eels all 'hatch' in the Saragossa Sea! Michael Clarke Irvinestown

Roscor is also on the mainland. Today, there is a Post Office there. It is south of Drumbadmeen. It is east of Slawin (Slavin) and Belleek. Further to the east are the townlands of Callagheen, Bolustymore, Bolustybeg and Drumcrow. My McBrien ancestors came from Callagheen and my Dundas ancestors from Bolustymore, Bolustybeg, Drumcrow and Roscor. In some of the Inishmacsaint registers, Roscor was spelled Rosscor. On one of my maps, there is a "Rosscor Viaduct" at the outlet of Lough Erne, near Belleek. There is also an "eel weir" near there. I believe that is sort of like a hatchery.

Hello: I have just received a map of Co. Fermanaugh and Rosscor is shown as an island. Does anyone know anything about this island? There is also a place called Rosscor House. The reason I'm asking is because my ggg grandmother was Mary Allingham of Rosscor. She married Henry McBrien in 1805, and they came to Canada in the 1820s. I do not know who her parents were, but I suspect that her father's name was Edward. I had a letter from another list which told be that Edward Allingham leased the islands (now known as) Lustymore and Lustybeg (Just south of the well known Boa Island - 10 miles east of Belleek - not far from Roscor). I found these places on the map too, but they are not near Rosscor Island. I guess the main things I would like to know are: 1. Is there a place called Roscor on the mainland or is it just an island in the River Erne? 2. Is there a town there? 3. What is the Rosscor House? I would really appreciate it if anyone can answer these questions or at least shed some more light on Rosscor. Regards, Maxine

I have a friend who is not on the internet, searching for information on family of William Kelley, b. 1799, Fermanagh. Any leads welcome. Thanks. Barbara Kelly. (no relation)

My forebears include the Ross family who were living in Co. Fermanagh in the early 18th Century "near Co. Tyrone" They left Ireland for America in 1769. I do not know if they left directly from their home in Fermanagh or it they had moved to some other part of Ireland before leaving. They were probably Presbyterian but could have been Church of Ireland. Are there any sources for Fermanagh in this period that could be of any help in identifying or tracing these people? Thank you.

Oh dear - I am sitting back waiting for the flames!!! I posted a mail about Clonelly Estate Tenants with an attachment in HTML. I have just received my own copy back through the list and of course it has come back in full HTML in the body of the mail. SINCERE APOLOGIES for this! I have already sent the attachment to a few of you who have asked. In answer to another request I then posted the information to the mail list. What I will do as an alternative is to post the information to one of my websites and then direct you to the URL. Until I do that which won't be for a couple of days (I have a living to make too!) please continue with any requests you may have and I'll mail privately to anyone who asks.

I have some rental books listing tenant farmers on the Barton Estate at Clonelly near Kesh round the turn of this century. The details list Parish, Tenant's full name and rental. If anyone is interested I can post a list of the names before the books are deposited with PRONI where they will join the rest of the Barton document collection deposited there by my grandfather - Henry George Hart of Clonelly - in the 1960's. My research interests are: RESEARCHING in Fermanagh: Barton, Irvine, Hanna, Johnson, Clendenning - most of whom emigrated to New South Wales, Australia. But some families remained!! Do you know of any remaining in Ireland? Jan Hart janhart@webleicester.co.uk

Still. at Portora is a big old book in which each new pupil signed his name and address during the mid-1800s. Entry number 283 in 1863 is interesting 'John Webb aged 14 years son of John Webb Kinsale Cork'. He went on to become a major yacht designer, designing America's Cup challengers, helming one of them, and designing millionaires' steam yachts, including Corsair for J Pierpont Morgan. He settled in the USA and died there about 1923. Does anyone know anything about his present day descendants in the USA or elsewhere?
