Some years ago I obtained from PRONI, papers regarding the Johnston family starting with Gerard Johnston m. Elizabeth Chittick in 1823. They were apparently from Glenross. I became interested because one of their children, William Johnston b. 1829 lived at Crevinish, Magheraculmoney, where my Morrows lived. Quite a few Morrows married Johnstons. One of the Johnstons - John James I think, went to the Victorian Goldfields and I have a copy of a letter sent by him to his family in 1868. If anyone is connected with this family I would be happy to let them have some of this information. Margaret in Oz.

Robyn There are 5 listings for BOOTH in our Lakeland (Telephone) Directory. All around Kesh, Ballinamallard and Enniskillen. COULTER names are numerous. But ADAMS have 12 listed. I'll transfer this to my desk top and send you a list of Booth and Adams. One family of BOOTH lived in Ballinamallard across the Street from my Grandmother. I have a Cousin who would know who was who in Ballinamallard, but she has just entered into a care home. At 92 and a Gt Gmother she is no longer able to live alone in her own home, but her mind is still as sharp as a pin. I hope to visit her next Wednesday and will ask her about that Booth family.

February 25, in Italy, aged 25 years, in consequence of the rupture of a blood vessel, William John JOHNSTON, Esq., eldest son of the late Robert JOHNSTON, Esq., K.C., of Maghremena, county of Fermanagh. Source: Londonderry Standard , 1 April 1837

Hi AllThis family from Feddans, Drumkeeran were part of a huge migration from the Kesh/Ederny area of Fermanagh to the Robertson/Kiama district in the southern highlands of NSW in the mid 1800s. I think Robert was a canny man, as the parents, John & Mary's ages were recorded a bit on the conservative side, probably to qualify for assisted passage as Robert who is the depositor is their son born in about 1828 or 1829, making him about 30 at the time of this record and the father could have been 60 or older.  He also assisted my ancestors, his niece and nephew, John Crozier and Lizzie Johnston from the same Parish, later in 1878.

Doug, This is an interesting one. Took me a while to figure out that the record in the 1901 census has been transcribed wrong : http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Fermanagh/Milltown/Glenkeen/1355561/ This Robert Cowan was baptised 1834 not 1814. I did send nationalarchives a message but they don't seem to have fixed the record. But it shows that it is always worth checking the actual image to check the transcription. As far as I have been able to figure out (and from family lore), this was Robert's first marriage - he married at 42 and he was the oldest son of the family. He married Margaret Jane "Maggie" Love who was born 1854. Robert's last child George was born in 1900 when Robert was 66. George was only 1 when his father passed away. George's descendants still live on the same land. George was the youngest child of 9. He inherited the land as his older brothers died young, many of tuberculosis. He had 5 older brothers. The history of the naming of the Clonkeen/Glenkeen townland is interesting. In the mid 1700's, the townland was known as Clonkeen. It has changed from Clonkeen to Glenkeen and back again and is currently known as Glenkeen. The Cowan family was given a grand lease for the Clonkeen townland from the Archdales on 4 July 1749 for three lives. I have a description of the deed from one of 'the lives' living in Sydney from a letter dated 27/9/1868 to his brother living at Clonkeen, which describes it as "on payment of £5.0.0 spoken of for each life therefore if it were necessary to put two lives in it would be only 10£ instead of your strange information from Mr Collum or any other Gentleman attorney the Deed is dated 4 July 1749 in it there is a condition which to all appearances would compel me to give notice six months after the Death of any life to the Heirs of the property (on the payment of £5.0.0 only) to put in whoever I would nominate if this condition has not been changed by an Act of Parliament (which I believe it must have) Clonkeen will soon be out of the name and indeed I would say justly through the neglect of our Uncle D. Cowan who I fear never did get the lives renew'd and I fear never gave any notice to General Archdale - at the Death of Mr Lendrum who is the last life do not you forget as my representative to give notice in writing to the Heir Mr Archdale before 6 months expire and Three £5.0.0 notes say £15.0.0 stating the name of 3 lives and I am persuaded He will grant you Archdale 1st get him to put it on paper his offer Then ask such a man as Mr Irvine of Irvinestown would he make an offer on paper or any other person who you know has money to lay out in such a place".

I am exploring wills because executors and administrators can sometimes suggest family connections. The 1901 census for Robert Cowan at Glenkeen shows he was 87 therefore bn abt 1814. In 1901, executor William Henry Fletcher was 54 and Quinn was 40, so a generation younger (at least). interestingly, William Henry Fletcher’s father William Fletcher was also still alive in 1901, age 89 so born abt 1812. This William Fletcher was my GG grandfather. So Robert Cowan 87 and William Fletcher 89 same generation and both lived same area, separated by one or two townlands. The 1901 census shows Robert Cowan’s wife is only 42 (although she has ballooned to 57 in the 1911 census) This has to be a second marriage for Robert. Or else Robert Cowan got married very very late in life!!! In 1901 he has a one year old at 87. What a guy. Do you happen to know if he had a first marriage and who his wife might have been? Also, when I looked at the Derryvullen burials, I see two Cowan burials where the location is recorded/transcribed as "Clonkeen??” Might this in fact be a mis-transcription of Glenkeen townland? There is no Clonkeen townland in the parish. And a Phibbs Alexander Cowan son of Robert bn 1829 again "Clonkeen??“ probably mis-transcribed from Glenkeen.

Just to remind everyone that our clocks Spring Forward one hour tonight. Also to wish one and all a very happy Easter. We used to build a special wee shack using all sorts of materials. It included a fireplace and a bar to hang a "Sweetie Can" over the fire. We got the fire going while the adults milked the cows and fed the calves and animals. We filled the can with eggs, and put a kettle on to boil. We'd toast bread using long handled three pronged Toasting Fork in front of the fire. The tea was 'wet' when we heard the buckets being washed and put 'to draw' beside the fire, then the can of eggs, two per person with cold water, so the shells did not crack. By the time everyone was ready the eggs were cooked, toast buttered and cups of tea handed out. No breakfast of the year ever tasted as good as the one in our Easter House. When the Evacuees were with us we had to have three sittings. Being from Belfast City they had never had such a treat. That old custom seems to have died out now but children now would never be allowed to work over an open fire with boiling kettles and cans of eggs in boiling water in case they hurt themselves! I think we were born with that instinct or it was drilled into us, or perhaps we were just lucky that we never had any accidents. TG for my wonderful Parents again. HAPPY EASTER to everyone in our Golden Family. Viola Sent from my iPad

Thanks... was going to go there on Monday to photograph it, never been there but have passed it often!! DH FERMANAGH-GOLD Of Sligo interest Date: Sat, 26 Mar 2016 15:24:08 -0700 Someone mentioned forming a Sligo List a few days ago. I don’t have the reference but as I am just transcribing the Old Sligo Cemetery, they might want to include a reference to Captain Edward P. Doherty who although born in Canada of immigrant parents from Sligo, has a monument to his memory in Old Sligo, erected by his eldest sister Mary Anne Elizabeth Doherty. Captain Doherty (1838-1897) was a U.S. Civil War officer who led the detachment that captured and killed John Wilkes Booth. I thought it was interesting that his sister memorialized him in Old Sligo Cemetery as “the brave avenger of President Lincoln” in 1887, 10 years before his death in the U.S. He is buried in Arlington National Cemetery. So if you want to mention Doherty in the Sligo list, check out the IGP-Web for Old Sligo Cemetery (well, in a few days when I have finished transcribing and Chris has had a chance to post it.)
