I do not have an on-line map, but I do have a Michelin map I picked up at a bookstore. I can tell you where McGuire's Bridge is (my "Ireland Family" lived in a townland, very near McGuire's Bridge. If you can spot Lower Loch Erne. a sizeable lake, you should spot Enniskillen at the south end of the lake. On the A4 roadway, you can find Maguiresbridge---southeast of Enniskillen about 8-9 miles. By the way, I do not see <Lisboy>, but there is a <Lisbellaw> on that highway. Welcome to the neighborhood!!! Marion Wood

Need your feedback. My great-great-grandfather John FITZGIBBON was a Protestant, in the 'military'. He married a Catholic gal named Margaret MAGUIRE around 1840, give or take 5 years. Since this was a Catholic marriage, civil records do not exist prior to 1864. Leaving me with only one option....parish records...but WHICH parish and in WHAT county? Since MAGUIRE is a Fermanagh surname, and since Enniskillen was the site of a large Military barracks, I'm going on a hunch that John and Margaret met each other while John was stationed at Enniskillen. Leading me to my main question: What Catholic parish was closest to the Enniskillen Barracks in Fermanagh around 1840.
