I have Masterson's book of these but does anyone know if the original records can be viewed anywhere. I have 2 Patrick Beggans in there with their familes both as luck would have it or not have it from adjoining townlands and I believe they have one of the children in the wrong family. I cannot understand why he is the only one subsequently living in the other townland. Making sense or what especially as his Christian name is as far as I can see only used in the other family.

Dear Maureen, Yes, I have viewed a film of the Old Age Pension Claims, copied by the LDS. Original records are at Proni record nos: T550/1-37. These contain duplicate 1841 or 1851 census records for those who applied for pensions in early 1900s, arranged by counties. My family of James and Barbara Carey and daughter Mary age 17 were in Drummal, Fermanagh and these records from 1851 census were used as proof of age for Mary when she applied for the pension. This was found in Vol 36 Mixed counties & baronies film no 0993106. There is an index to names completed by Janet Beresford Brooks - British Fiche area 6344865. Hope this helps. I am still trying to find Mary's death but there is a Mary Carey at Drummal age 58 on 1901 census which looks like a match. Regards, Helen

Dear Maureen, Have just checked some records I transcribed in Irvinestown of McKnight families as I thought I remembered a McMulkin connection. This was from a computer printout at Clogher Community Care rooms of C of I records. McKnight Margaret, Carnboy married McMulkin James, Coolish 21 Dec 1835 Helen
