Hi list Seeing this thread reminded me of the many spelling variations for Fermanagh I came across in the 1881 Census CDs. I've reproduced them here (there are 60). You might think this is useless information (!) but try using some of them in a search engine and you never know what you might find. If you search the 1881 Census using Viewer 3 you would find all of these variations, and probably some more I've missed!
