Hi All, To all those listers who responded to my post on this subject, thank you very much. It has been fascinating to read your thoughts and your comments have been helpful. Good old FG! One kind lister has sent my a copy of the actual register entry for Robert Armstrong's death in 1882. This tells me that: Registration No D/1882/116/1013/4/287 Date of death: 2 July 1882 Place: Drumcor Name: Robert Armstrong Widower 95 years Occupation: Miller Old age not certified no medical attendant 3 months Informant: Robert Armstrong, son, present at death, Drumcor Date (burial or registration?): 10 July 1882 Signed: Thos R Kitson? Registrar assistant Registration District: Enniskillen (pre 1973 Q4) Registration sub-district: Tempo. >From Kerry's post (and others) I learnt that the Enniskillen reg districts in 1898 are split between Cavan and Fermanagh: Cavan has Enniskillen no 2 Rural District Fermanagh has Enniskillen Urban District and Enniskillen no 1 Rural District. I am still curious as to why the Register index entry should mention Cavan as Tempo is clearly not in Cavan, but it maybe shows that it pays to search in the neighbouring counties as well as Fermanagh as a Fermanagh search may not have picked up this death. The above details have given me more to follow up, particularly as the son Robert who reported his father's death, may be also known as William and therefore my gg grandfather. My g grandfather (also) Robert (born Enniskillen 1847 died Buln Buln, Victoria, Australia 1898) has his father listed as William on his wedding certificate and Robert on his death certificate.

Because someone geographically challenged decided it was in Cavan when they saw Cavan on the page... If you go to the example Chris posted yesterday, in her example you'll see Donegal, Fermanagh and Leitrim mentioned so I can well imagine what someone could make of that. David also explained how it could happen... So did I. Only last night I was putting kin on my tree from 1720 to 1740, from Wills/Deeds (my stuff, not Nick Reddan's!!).. BUT when I checked it against the work of an "expert", a very highly regarded "voice" in genealogy his work was wrong... Someone who died in 1743 was the Uncle of a 10 y.o. who died 1844... Yeah, pull the other one! It's not a typo as the rest also gives wrong relationships among the others mentioned! Proof?? The Marriage agreement of 1770's... If I was to simply accept the work of a highly regarded expert then I'd be up the wrong tree... Second PROOF... I have my own photos of the gravestones!! This "work" was copied and is now on one of these "Freepages" and also on another website. I've seen my family tree, also done by a Paid Genealogist, and it is completely wrong!! You have that record... forget about how someone else has manipulated it, Transcribe it for yourself so you will know what's what and remember it better. If you take IGP and their transcribing of g/stones.. any of those transcribers can make a human error BUT the beauty of it is that one can look at same photo and transcribe it for themselves! AND if one does Copy/Paste a transcription they should also look at the photo too and double check it for themselves... and then allow for inscription dates to be possibly wrong, many g/stones are inaccurate in themselves! IGP transcribes the g/stones... they don't come along and add in "Oh yeah, that's in Donegal!". If something can't be made out then no one guesses what it might be! You get what is there, not what one thinks is there! Similarly, without SEEING what you are talking about we can only guess!! The only work I believe is the work I've done for myself.... and YES I do make mistakes putting in 1922 instead of 1822, for example, but at least I can spot the errors at some stage. It pays to search in the neighbouring 31 counties as well as Fermanagh as a Fermanagh search may not have picked up this death as he might have died and been buried in Dublin, Death Registered in Dublin!!! Once the search is restricted to just 31 other counties one should be OK!

G’day Kerry In my posting of the 14th February, I explained that the Registration Districts are based on the Poor Law Unions and have nothing to do with Parish and County boundaries. Here’s what I said then: “The Civil Registration Districts were based on the Poor Law Unions which is why some Registration Districts cross both county and parish boundaries. I have some old photocopies of outline maps for Fermanagh and Monaghan which show the boundaries of the parishes, Baronies, and Poor Law Unions. (Unfortunately I don’t have at hand the title of the book which I photocopied). The Poor Law Union of Clones straddles the Fermanagh Monaghan border and includes the parishes of Clones, Drummully and Galloon in Fermanagh. Clones and Drummully ross the county boundary. The western part of Galloon is in the Lisnaskea PLU. In Monaghan, the Clones PLU includes the parishes of Clones, Drummully, Currin, Aghabog, Killeevan. The parish of Clones is also partly in the Monaghan PLU as are Killevan and Aghabog. The parishes of Killevan, Aghabog and Currin are also partly in the Cootehill PLU in Monaghan. So the parish of Killevan straddles three Poor Law Unions and hence three Registration Districts. Furthermore, the GRO Indexes do not, repeat, do not name the county only the Registration District.” The LDS in transcribing the indexes have ADDED a county reference to their database and this is what is causing the confusion. Regards David Armstrong Maylands Western Australia From: Kerry Johnston via Sent: Tuesday, March 03, 2015 11:24 PM To: FERMANAGH-GOLD@rootsweb.com Subject: FERMANAGH-GOLD Enniskillen, Cavan Hi John and all - while searching on Find My Past, I have come across dozens of BMD records showing the "location" as Enniskillen, Cavan, Ireland. I too wondered what this meant but with so many records showing this as a location it clearly was not a typographical error or misprint. The confusion seems to lie in the fact that each county in Ireland had "registration districts" for civil registration purposes, and BOTH county Fermanagh and County Cavan had/have a registration district called "Enniskillen. See this link at Family Search.org and scroll down to "Superintendent Registar's Districts" for the list: https://familysearch.org/learn/wiki/en/Ireland,_Civil_Registration_Guide,_County/Volume_Arrangement I also came across a map of Administrative Counties in Ireland in 1898 at this link: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Irish_local_government_areas_1898%E2%80%931921 You can see the divisions of each of the Administrative Counties of Cavan and Fermanagh and that the names of these divisions almost exactly mirror the Superintendent Registrar's districts. You will also see on the Administrative Map for Cavan that the westernmost division is called "Enniskillen No. 2", which abuts "Enniskillen Nol 1" in Fermanagh immediately to the north. This isn't a very satisfactory answer but perhaps sheds some light on what "Enniskillen, Cavan" refers to.

Indeed David, and the L in PLU explains itself... They were set up by the passing of the Government's Poor LAW Act and the Government decided where the areas should be. As we know there are Parishes BUT RC and C of E&I Parishes differed in boundaries. In order to be "neutral" they couldn't go with Parishes... which Parishes? The RC ones or the C of E&I ones?? Using different areas meant "neutral ground" for all. They simply had to differ and PLU's are Government controlled, nothing to do with ANY religion. They were what was to become Civil Parishes/ Registry Districts, not Religious Parishes...

Indeed David! If they had transcribed them there wouldn't be any problem, but they decide to "translate" them by INCORRECTLY adding the County.. If they had just transcribed Lisnaskea as Lisnaskea then that would have referred to the AREAS Lisnaskea Registry Office covered... they then decided to add the County where Lisnaskea is in which changes everything because it omits the other Counties that Lisnaskea covered. Indeed Churches/Parishes have NOTHING to do with where the State decided to locate THEIR State Registry Offices... Registry Offices are GOVERNMENT Offices!

The transcribers did a great job, they transcribed what was on the Forms, and that was their remit. Some of the townlands my kin were in are spelt differently between Census but the transcribers just transcribed, and were right to do so. The National Archive will only make corrections if the transcription differs from what is on the Form. If a name place is written incorrectly on the Form and transcription they will not correct that.. IF there was an S then they should have transcribed it as it was, Cavans.

The deaths would be in one of the 3 tree counties so the Townland is the important thing...the first one mentioned after Date of Death!! but you'd need to check which county each one is in.

Thanks Viola. I'll try the 1901 Census and some Tyrone searches - a couple of people have suggested looking beyond Fermanagh. The first Robert you refer to is my ggg grandfather - I think! The BMDs on the IGP site are ones I submitted after visiting the Tempo and Clabby churches a couple of years back. Sorry I didn't have time to chat to you then - maybe another time.
