If so, it would probably depend on the timeframe. Bud's quote from Livingstone's Fermanagh story does not include a date for the list of merchants given. Lowe's Directory (1880) lists merchants by trade and surname, but does not note what religion each merchant professed (though some may be guessed at from names "typically" belonging to one group or the other.) There doesn't seem to be any clear cut division. Janet C-S
