Two stories I picked up while in Enniskillen from History of Enniskillen. Thought Maureen and Sandy would be particularly interested and hope others might add to the details: Pg. 1127 "Finlay Geddes's mother was Ellen Walmsley, one of an old family, and the tradition is that one of the Walmsleys got a grant of land in Fermanagh on the usual condition that he did not marry a native Roman Catholic. He fell in love with and married a woman of the Maguire clan. When it was discovered, the Court said he had forfeited the land. Walmsly went to Dublin to have the judgment reversed [on the ground that she had become a Protestant] and succeeded: but as he was riding home quietly with the good news he dropped dead when he got to Enniskillen. His young widow, with one or two small children, was unable to hold the land, and it became part of Lord Lanesborough's property." Perhaps someone can shed light on where Lord Lanesborough's property was, more on the Geddes family or which Walmsley this might be? Does this fit in with ayn Maguire stories? Second: Pg. 1128 "There is another tradition about the Walmsleys, that during one of the risings in Ireland, perhaps 1641 or later, this family was saved in the following way. A Roman Catholic maidservant who was much attached to the family determined to give them warning: but as death was the fate of an informer, she told her story to a bush in the garden, taking care that one of the family was near enough to hear her. (To tell a story to a bush, or other material thing, was a common Gaelic method.]" D.
