Hi My name is Martha Humphrey Gregor and I live in NJ, USA and I am looking for some information on some relatives who are from the Enniskillen area. My ggrandfather was an Owen Glackin who married a Mary Spenser. My guess is that they were born around 1830. They had at least one child, Charles Glackin born in 1854 who came to America and became a naturalized citizen on 7/4/1876 in New Haven CT. My grandfather, Charles' son,was named John Stuart Parnell Glackin and he lived in the New Britain, CT area. John's father Charles, also went by the middle names of Stuart Parnell, but I don't know where this name came from. I have read, as an adult about a Charles Stuart Parnell, but that is about it. My ggrandfather supposedly had relatives from the Enniskillen area that moved to the New Haven CT area. Some names that are mentioned are Kerrigan and Sullivan. My mother was John S.P. Glackin's daughter. I grew up in the New Britain area and all of my family is still in CT but I got married and moved to NJ. Any information would be greatly appreciated- we don't have much information or many cousins. Regards Martha Humphrey Gregor email: rmkrgreg@bellatlantic.net

Hello list members, i have been off list doing research, but now have new leads and questions. John Brown had a daughter born 1827 named Mary, possibly born near Enniskillen. Mary is said to have worked at Erne Castle and studied under lady Erne, Erne Castle, Erne River. i believe this is the Crom Castle or Crom Estates. She was married on Oct 23 1846, age 19, said residence was either Drumlone or Drumborry. REally difficult to make out. Anyone know how I would find out names of tenants living on the Crom Estates? either in Enniskillen, Linaskea, or Drumlone/Drumborry? The letter says they, The Browne's lived on the 'browne' estates for a hundred years. I believe that is between 1730-1830. I think the Browne's originally came from England may have come with one of the Balfours. Does anyone know what church the Lady of Erne and her tenants would have gone to in the 182o's and 1830's. Holy Trinity that they attended in the 1840-1860's was not built until 1842. Thanks again. I am hoping someone will know about this estate and the Lady Selina. John Browne may have married Elizabeth Gardiner, and Mary Browne married a William Mcmahon that was a cousin to the Browne's. Thanks for your time and effort. Sincerely Joy Irene in Canada

Hi folks Does anyone know of a connection with these names - Patrick McCall was my great grandfather. He married Catherine Reilly on 3 May 1885 in Newtown Butler, Co Fermanagh. They left Ireland and came to stay in Scotland, at Carfin. As I am in Scotland and only found this out today. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi This is my first attempt at Irish records! Could anyone suggest how I would find records of the birth of Peter McAuley, described in his army records as born in Enniskillen around 1784? He was a shoemaker before enlisting in the 48th Northhamtonshire Regiment of Foot in 1809. His wife was Mary Dunn, and they had at least one child, James in 1810, before Peter and family transferred to NSW Australia in 1820. Many thanks to anyone who can help with suggestions and/or information.

Ooops! sorry, but I mentioned a genealogy "best-seller" called Tracing Your Irish Ancestors, which is by John GRENHAM, not "Gresham" as I keep saying by mistake. I think I keep mixing his name up with that of John Grisham, who writes a different type of best-seller! Janet C-S

According to Gresham's book, parish records begin in 1846, so you may be in luck! Next step would be to see if they have been filmed by the LDS, or to contact the Heritage Center in Dungannon, which supposedly has the records on computer (but charges to look things up for you.) Have fun! Janet C-S

Before 1864 for RCs you would have to check in the local parish. Gresham's book, Tracing Your Irish Ancestors, has a list of RC parishes and Magheracross is not the name of one. It must be part of a parish of another name. If you tell me what it is near, I'll try to figure it out for you. Janet C-S

Ruth, Thanks for the "strays." I am looking for my LOVE relatives in this parish. Although it's not a direct hit, it sure is interesting to me.

For births from 1864 to 1921 for the Republic of Ireland, write to General Register Office 8-11 Lombard Street Dublin 2, Ireland For births in Northern Ireland (Fermanagh, Armagh, Antrim, Derry, Down and Tyrone) write to Oxford House Chichester Street Belfast, Northern Ireland According to some sources, Oxford House is only supposed to have records from 1922 on, but I was there this past summer and they had the records for Fermanagh from 1864.

I just went to snap.com for the first time and they have a huge site for Genealogy. Just a note to help everyone out a little more.

Thanks for the "Unrelated Information" William Charles born to Charles and mary Walmsley is my gr. uncle. He was sent to Canada along with his sister Mary Jane to live with their uncle James Graham Montgomery when he was 14 years of age. It was helpful. D

Does anyone know how to obtain birth certificates in Ireland. I want to request my Great-grandfathers but I dont know where to begin. Slan, Lisa

Been a lot of talk about The Fermanagh Story here lately. Can I draw your attention to the Public Record Office Northern Ireland website at http://proni.nics.gov.uk/ Has a map of the parishes in fermanagh at http://proni.nics.gov.uk/geogindx/ferm.htm and a key listing all the townlands in each parish. BEWARE if you are interested in the parishes Cleenish or Clones, their numbers have been transposed on the map. The list of townlands accessable from the key is however correct. The site also has a full list of all the townlands in Co Fermanagh, but no indication where in Fermanagh they are. You may end up searching half the parishes. Hope someone finds this useful.

Dear Sirs, My name is Brian Pike and my mother's name was Miriam Johnston. I am currently involved in preparing our family tree and part of our family originated in Fermanagh. Between the period 1850 and 1857, four brothers from this district by the names of George, Arthur, Alexander and Thomas Johnston emigrated to Canada in the province of Quebec. We are attempting to determine as much information as possible on these brothers especially George who is my great grandfather. Any information that you could provide would be greatly appreciated. If any relatives of these individuals still reside in the area of Fermanagh could you please let us know so that we may correspond directly with them. Sincerely, Brian Pike brian.pike@hmrag.com Calgary, Alberta, Canada

Does anyone have access to the UK electoral rolls and would be kind enough to check a name for me? Are the rolls listed by county? Ruth.

You can find lots of information about townlands and baronies by searching at http://www.thecore.com/cgi-bin/ire-srch The Blennerhassetts I believe at one time owned Castle Caldwell and Boa Island on Lough Erne. You mention Lawry - do you mean Lowry? Do you have any other family names? I am researching Barton amongst others.
