Some of you will remember William [Liam Scott] searching for his Roots in Fermanagh and I took it off list because I needed to speak of his living relatives. Well this evening at about 18.10 hrs i had a phone call from his second cousin asking me to meet them.

Goodness, yours did get about, Val, Mine generally lived in the one spot but surely loved visiting rellies all over the place.

Wonder if this rings any bells?My son-in-law, William Terry Armstrong's 3xg gm Margaret Armstrong,born 1793 ,a widow aged c41, came to Ontario Canada in 1834 with 2 sons.James bc 1817 and William bc 1824. (From Fermanagh).They came first to Vaughan, near Toronto and then to Elgin Township.There were other Armstrongs in both areas.Last week I found a transcription of her tombstone, died aged 85, Dec 27,1876. Widow of William!!  Church of England (usually means they were C/Iat home)..I believe I should be looking for a William who died before 1834 andpossibly other children, as there is an unusual space between the sons..If James is the eldest, then possibly grandfather was James,Do you know if there have been any DNA studies to narrow down the search?  Joan

The present incumbent is son or grandson of Basil, probably the latter - has second wife, but only children to first so no court battles later for ownership etc. He seemed a nice gentle chap - and they both determined to make the place pay for itself, trying innovative ideas to raise cash so they can continue to occupy the family seat.

Hello Diana, It was so kind of you to take the time to phone me and let me know that the ABC TV program Country House Rescue this afternoon featured Colebrooke Park estate in Fermanagh. Just had a quick peek and it is certainly a superb piece of real estate - and naturally in our favourite Irish County :) I wish you every success with your ARMSTRONGS of Pettigo, google Ireland has many articles which no doubt you already have and I am sure you have searched all the cemeteries in the vicinity without success. Perhaps one of our wonderful members reading this will have a tiny piece to help you with the puzzle, certainly Armstrong would be as difficult as my Dolans are to find pre-1790's, but being a tailor in Pettigo in 1800 may ring a bell with someone. Interestingly our Cassidy also tailored at that same time in the town - it was a busy place especially being the 'staging post' town to the famous pilgrimage site of St Patrick's Purgatory; can believe there was quite a hum about the town in the summer months. Am wondering if our friend Janet Cassidy has any data on a Pettigo tailor by the name of Armstrong? Please be sure if I come across anything pertaining to your search I shall contact you immediately. Thank you for your kindness and consideration, do keep in touch - either privately or via Fermanagh Gold. Warmest regards, Dee.
