    1. Re: Maguire family
    2. Janet, First of all Newtownbutler comes under CLONES parish and I am also trying to find the quickest way to get their records. The Catholic church is the Sacred Heart Clones. You can write to The Registrar in Dublin [address on PRONI but they take ages. However the good news is that if you know the couple concerned in a marriage and a reasonable idea of the year they will provide. It is quite possible that all the children were not registered as in the 1850's Catholics were not recognised in any civil list and indeed many catholic families were afraid to declare their religion. However I would be quite surprised if the MAGUIRES did not have their children baptised. Have you got the townland in Newtownbutler. I have had a look at Griffiths and there are surprisingly few Maguires at that time but I have found a Maguire Marriage from some records kept in Enniskillen Town Hall. Susan Maguire amrried John Beggan on the 9th November 1895 at Newtownbutler Parish Church.You also mentioned Maguiresbridge to me and I have a ANNE McDonald who married Michael Beggan at Brookeborough RC Chapel on 14th January 1894. Brookeboroug is very close to Maguiresbridge. Unfortunately, I have not got the marriage certifcates, but if you think they may match I will get them to add to my collection of Beggan marriages. I am awaiting a list of the Maguire Baptisms from Rosslea and then I will attack the marriages to find my own line of Maguires. Maureen
