There were plenty of ports in those years nearby...Sligo, Ballyshannon, Londonderry/Derry, Belfast, Glasgow...later Cobh or Queenstown in Cork. There are many Passenger List Records of these ports...not yet on the ISTG web site...but recorded in various local books ("Memory Harbor, The Port of Sligo", McTiernan for one)and some on Broderbund CDs. It was very likely that they were married just before leaving. What isn't as likely was the Cork to Fermanagh connection or immigration.

I found my gg-grandfather, John Breen, and his father - my ggg-grandfather, David Breen, listed in Griffiths Valuation in Co Cork. I found a marriage record for my John Breen and wife Ellen Logan in Enniskillen, Co Fermanagh. Their first child was born in the US in Ohio in 1861. Could it be possible John and Ellen Breen married in Enniskillen, Co Fermanagh just before they immigrated to the US? Is there a common Port of Departure near there? I havn't found many ships sailing in the years 1860/1861 from Ireland to the US. Thank you. Carole Lannom
