Hello All Still searching for any connections to George Montgomery, b. 1815 - 1819, Clay, Fermanagh, father Charles?, mother Mary? married 1840 in Lisnaskea to Elizabeth m/s Montgomery, b. 1819, Drumharriff, Fermanagh, father William Montgomery, mother Catherine SCOTT. One or both of these families may have also been in Ederdacurragh (or Currah) & Mullaghkippen in Aghalurcher or Derrybrusk Parish. I've seen Mullaghkippen assigned to both of these parishes in different references. Family story says George was a gardener for the Big House and that he and Elizabeth, the daughter of the house, eloped. George and Elizabeth were in Glasgow, Scotland, by 1846. I have the family located after that. Griffith's Valuation for Fermanagh was in 1862, so it's hard to make a link through property records. Tithe records are too sketchy, except to indicate that several Montgomery families were in Fermanagh in 1833 and also on the 1788 List of Freeholders.. A cousin (or possibly nephew) of either George or Elizabeth, William, was in Brooklyn, New York, when he sent word to the family in Scotland in 1905 that an Alexander Montgomery had died at age 32, 5 Jan 1900: Alexander Montgomery, son of the late Alexander and the late Sarah Johnston Montgomery. Alexander and Sarah were married 25 May 1863 in Lisnaskea by license. An ? Charters was witness. A Charters or Chartres is also associated with the Griffith's valuation for Mullaghkippin and several other locations. A brother of Elizabeth, Andrew, married an Ann or Agnes Dolahan (also born in Ireland) in Bothwell, Scotland, 1856. Andrew's mother was not said to be deceased, but his father was. Other possible siblings for Elizabeth: John, b. 1814, Ederdacurragh; Robert, b. 1822; Saragh, b. 1822, both in Drumharriff. There are apparently four Fermanagh townlands named Drumharriff. One is in Clones Parish. Griffith's valuation, 1862, shows a Richard Scott as an occupier of land whose immediate lessor was Earl of Erne. Another, in Cleenish Parish, lists Nicholas Scott twice, one occupier of land the lessor of which is Rebecca Gamble and the other John Daly. See a later post for the Griffith's Valuation for the Drumharriff in Aghalurcher Parish. Any suggestions? Thank you for reading Suzanne Sommerville In Michigan, USA
