Hello, I have the army record of great/great grandfather William Quinn born in 1788/9. The discharge document says he was born at Temple Cairn near town of what looks like - Pithres??? In County of Fermanagh. The attestation says his regiment was 27th Foot. Royal Regiment of Veterens. It also says his discharge corps was Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers - 27th & 108th Foot. Hope someone knows where William was born as I cannot find either of the named places? Regards Margaret Brookes (Melbourne)

Bell’s Life in Sydney and Sporting Reviewer : 13 December 1856, p.1. ELOPEMENTS.- No fewer than three eloping couples have been in custody in Enniskillen within about a week, and in each case the master's daughter had eloped with the servant man. In one of them there was a fine hunt. A girl named . Maguire, from Trillick, eloped with the father's servant, came to Ballinamallard, and missed the train; posted into this town, thence to Maguires-bridge, Lisnaskea, and Newtownbutler. Constable Moore caught them in Newtownbutler before the luckless lover had time to snatch a kiss. He recovered a sum of money that the lady had appropriated from her father's stores, and restored it along with the fair penitent, to the owner. The lover, alas, is to be proscuted for leaving his work. Fermanagh Reporter. Advocate Melbourne, Vic. : 29 August 1929 p.8. GOLD IN IRELAND. Stones taken from a gravel pit at Salry, Ballinamallard, County Fermanagh, contain a mineral which local chemists, applying the usual tests, are convinced is pure gold.

Just a wee suggestion, but have you considered looking for McQueen? I found my GGGgrandfather John McQueen listed as Quinn and McQuinn. Good hunting, Cliff.

Hi All I was pretty sure "Geelong" was Australia.....Though I have not delved into my papers recently I knew...just wanted to make sure. lol I do not remember if someone asked in ref to all this buit I believe it was in ref to a James Armstrong. VERY Interesting to me since "James" was one of the names I wondered why I did not have... For those who do not know my Armstrongs who lived on Innishmore I am told had 18 children of them I have 11 definite...but James was a name I thought they should have had. Now other thing is ...my gg grandmother Nicholina Armstrong (who was one of these children) married Hugh Copeland and after he died she went to US with 11 children , 6 step and 5 her own. The 6 step after a few years travelrd on to Australia and settled around Geelong. This is what caught my interest! My details are foggy...been awhile lol... but I feel it coming back lol. If anyone was interested in this...contact me. I KNOW family ALWAYS followed each other. That is how I connected with a cousin in Illinois...2 of my Nicholinas brothers went there. She even stayed with one in Ohio (she came in through pennsylvania) for a sort time before going to NY. I should come on more...I have so much info and ideas to share...well hopefully soon...This just caught my eye! TC all ..(love ya Vi) Sue in NY

FMP is free this w/end so a quick search in Alumini Dublinensis will get all the Armstrongs (or whoever!) that attended there... Just do a Print Screen of them for future use.

Thanks, Veronica. Still no clue if any of these are the son of Patrick buried up in Boho. :-( I don't know that there is a connection between your Cassidys of "toss the horse" fame ;-) and the Macken fight. I got the impression from the newspaper report that it was a private dispute between them and the landlord, while the Macken fight had to do with a clash between Ribbonmen and some Orangemen celebrating the 12th of July, and took place near Bellanaleck. Thanks for checking for me. Do you know if any NSW wills are online?

There is a Patrick McCaffrey b 1809. This is the same ship my three CASSIDY brothers (Thomas, Phillip and Edward) were transported on. Their trial was on the same day as the fight at Macken. I suspect there might be a connection. There is a reference to a Patrick Cassidy being possibly involved at Macken but I can't seem to find out any more about him. > > http://srwww.records.nsw.gov.au/indexsearch > > Veronica >

Yes, this particular practice was used for many years in penal times. I like your description of 'neutralisation', very apt. Life was horrible for the convicts, but no less sad for the families they left behind who were forced into near starvation in many cases, with fathers and husbands actively encouraged to partner convict females in the Colony and forget their original wives.
