Thank you Dave, As from Friday, I am keeping a photographic Diary of "A week in the Life of a Senior Citizen", for a Q. U. B. Project. So the "cut & paste" will have to go onto my long finger. So I've filed the link for future Ref. I have just watched the Richard III procession to the Cathedral on Television (CH4). History from 500 years ago is being re-written! He was not quite the baddie he has been made out to be. But the only version we know was written by his enemies. Now research shows him in a different light. DNA matched a 17th generation man to him. That man actually made Richard's present day coffin. The wonders of science at work. Fascinating.

I loved the Daughter of Time and Sunne in Splendor. I still think he was guilty as sin.

Nice to make progress, not everyone wanted to be on a Voter's List, nor did they have to be, and there were certain criteria to be met too... Many settlers used the name given to places by the English and sometimes nothing to do with translating it from Gaelic either! Bothar Bui translates to Yellow Road but the English called it Enfield. So, indeed you did well working things out and certainly a thing for others to consider! Keep joining the dots! Dave.

Indeed never give up.. if you could have got back to 1485 and found you were related to Richard III you could be at his funeral today!!

I have a general question about records and record searching. I¹ve posted before about John Noble, born in Fermanagh in the late 1840s, emigrated to America as a child and raised by Anthony and Margaret (Corrigan) Scollon in Meriden, CT. A very helpful list member, also on Ancestry, pointed out to me that a Margaret Corrigan, who married Anthony Scollon in America, was married earlier, in Ireland, to a John Noble, and that MY John Noble was probably her son. This member also thought that they were all Catholics. If I were to search for a Noble-Corrigan marriage sometime in the 1840s, where would I look? There is a 15-year old John Noble, son to John and Rose Noble, in the 1841 census in Drumkeeran parish, Townland Dromore Big. If anyone can point me in the right direction I would be very thankful.

Fascinating indeed. History is always written from a point of view. Janet C.

OR... another Shortened Version of Surname?? No point in making things simple! :-)) Dee would really benefit from printing off the old county maps I posted about a while back, one for each county and then trim them of where the counties meet to get a prospective on how near everything is to each other across the 3 counties. I found them invaluable especially with bits in neighbouring counties that were very close geographically. Dave.

Dave & Dee That was a substantial amount of offerings for prayers for the repose of the souls. A Bequest indicates that Frances had made a Will and the money was through it. So either she was a Magauran married to a MAGAN or an Ellen MAGAN had Married a MAGAURAN. That's a puzzle to be pondered and solved??? now.

Indeed a close knit family who kept in contact with each other... The Book of Magauran : Leabhar Méig Shamhradháin. by McKenna, Lambert (Editor). Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies, 1947. might be of interest too? Maybe via Inter Library Loan?? It's on Library shelf at the moment... I can reserve it and get it here tomorrow if you want!

Did it mention his profession?? DH Hi Dave Some researchers have given William the title of Capt., however I have been unable to verify which service this refers to (if any). Regards, Lester Hamilton

I am currently researching ancestors who were also from the Parish of Dromore (Co Tyrone) and unfortunately CI Dromore Parish records were destroyed in the Public Records office fire. Although Presbyterian Church records do exist from 1835. Regards Robyn, NSW, Australia Thanks Robyn, Regards Lester

Sent to me by a transcriber of early 1820/1830 freehold records. Certainly explains why the heads of many families being researched, weren't listed!! Carole.
