There must be some descendants still living in Ireland, possibly still in the Dairies. I would like to hear from someone in Ireland or in Ontario. >> Terri, The History of the Parish of Devinish and Boho by E.G. Elliott (1990) includes a list from the 1841 census of the parish (Protestants only). For Dairies there is listed: John Burgess, wife Margt. family: Arthur, James, Anne, Margt. There is also a Gabriel Eliott, wife, Eliza and Andrew Elliott, wife Mary Anne, son William. There are other names in the townland as well. Unfotunatley no other info is given for this census, just names. George Elliott who wrote this book still lives in the area. He could probably put you in touch with any descendants of the Burgesses still there. I'm sure you could get in touch with him through the rector of the parish. Good luck, Janet C-S
