Hello Sheila, I think we may have briefly corresponded some time ago, is this correct? We are related in that I am the g-g-granddaughter of James Snow born c 1795 in Tully Townland, and Mary Keown born c1798 in Cornahilta Townland, Fermanagh. This James is seen in GV's as renting a small cottage and garden at Beagh Little, and his son also James Snow working the farm at Tully. I have to go to the mainland right now, but will be in contact with you tomorrow when I am back home. Several other Snow relations are searching the tree also, so we are not alone. Kindly, Dee Byster-Graham. Moreton Bay, Australia. -----Original Message----- From: smwoods@mymts.net [mailto:smwoods@mymts.net] Sent: Wednesday, 30 May 2018 10:52 AM To: fermanagh-gold@rootsweb.com Subject: FERMANAGH-GOLD -DNA links Middlesbrough Snows to Fermanagh My Snows left Ireland between 1845 and 1850 and settled in Middlesbrough. I have long believed that they came from Fermanagh, but the only links I could find to Snows in Fermanagh were their religion (Roman Catholic), a cousin born in Enniskillen, and the names Joseph, James, John, Patrick, Matthew, Thomas and Francis occurring in both places. The two Middlesbrough Snow families were headed by Alice widow of John (farmer) and Mary widow of Patrick (farmer), both born in the 1790's. My ggg-grandparents were John and Alice. I don't know how John and Patrick are related, but the Tithe Applotment Books list a Pat Snow and a widow John Snow in Tully as well as a John Snow in St. Catherines. Now I have an Ancestry DNA match to a mother and daughter, descendants of Matthew Snow and Rose McHugh who had two children baptised in Devenish in 1853 and 1857. I'm an estimated 4th cousin match to the mother and a 5th cousin match to the daughter. My sister doesn't match either of them, but another Middlesbrough Snow, my double 4th cousin, is a 4th cousin or closer match to the mother.

Thanks to Norm Prince we have added additional baptisms for Clones Parish. You can see them from our main IGP Archives page: http://www.igp-web.com/IGPArchives/index.htm#Additions The spelling is these for names and places tend to be unusual so you will have to skim the list like a book page. (The old days) You can use your browser's Find in page function which is usually Control and F on your keyboard. Hope you have some luck. :) Chris http://www.igp-web.com/IGPArchives/

Robyn Ritchie took some more photos of this Cemetery. I have added the photos and renamed the images to match the Extract done by Vynette Sage. All the links on the Extract page have been re-linked.

Re: Praities and Joseph Locke (Joe McLaughlin 'the singing policeman') Joseph Locke was a huge favourite in our family ... my father sang "Goodbye" & "Hear My Song" .... they were his party pieces. My first trip back home in 1959 after 6 years in Canada I had to bring back one of his records.... At that time, he was persona non grata in the U.K., and my uncle took me to Smithfield Market in Belfast to find it!! He was well loved by a lot of us. Especially in Fermanagh!! Bought the movie and Dad enjoyed it many times ... Adrian Dunbar did a great job! ...according to my father :) .. Thank you for this, it brings back soooo many beautiful memories. During Dad's last days in hospital, he'd say to me ... "Do you mind this one?" .... then start singing ....."Have ye ever been in love me boys....".... In the Garden when The Praities Grow"... a beautiful memory....

Dear Golden friends, Thank you all for the wonderful memories of Joseph Locke. My personal favourite is a beautiful rendition he recorded as an old man on an LP I still treasure: 'She Walked through the Fair', without accompaniment; not the easiest piece of music to sing at any time.

Viola and all, I love hearing all the wonderful stories of growing up in Fermanagh. My short trip there a few years was a highlight for me in my research. Meeting Vi was truly a wonderful experience and I will never forget all she did for me in locating my family in Derrylin. I had a lovely visit with my distant cousin, her husband, and her uncle who filled me in on the family. The land is still being farmed by the Cleary descendants, the footprint of the original home is still there with a newer one next to it. A one hundred fifty year old tree still stands in the pasture with a beautiful view of the hills. Definitely a memory I treasure and have shared with my family . I will definitely make a return visit ! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Wed, 23 May 2018 10:56:06 +0100 From: Viola Wiggins <vmaw3434@gmail.com> Subject: FERMANAGH-GOLD -Praities To: This list is for those researching their ancestors in Fermanagh and surrounding counties in Ireland <fermanagh-gold@rootsweb.com> Message-ID: <8945D153-2BEA-4B5A-83FA-DACF90195FDA@gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Robert, The mention of "Praities" evokes only one bright memory of when I met Joseph Locke in Leeds.

Thank you Bob. However, I'm asking about non denominational marriages that were carried out in a Registry Office. The one I mention in the Ballymena Registry Office as an example, indicates that the husband and wife declared: "Denomination: Civil Parish" James -----Original Message----- From: Bob Graham via FERMANAGH-GOLD Sent: Wednesday, May 23, 2018 2:29 PM To: This list is for those researching their ancestors in Fermanagh and surrounding counties in Ireland Cc: Bob Graham Subject: FERMANAGH-GOLD -Re: Civil Marriage Registers Protestant marriages were registered from 1 April 1845.

James, Joseph Locke was one of the nicest Gentlemen one could ever meet. He was a regular guest of Barney Colehan's The Good Old Days which was recorded on a Sunday Evening in the City Varieties, Leeds. That was an old fashioned Music Hall. For the Recording, One half of that Audience dressed up in Costumes from the "Old Days" the other half wore ordinary clothes. Google "Joseph Locke, Good Old Days" for him on You tube. "The Garden where the Praities Grow" is Sound only, no Video. Viola Sent from my iPad

To Robert at Ulster Ancestry Robert, I've been doing some family research of Antrim records and was surprised to find that there seems to exist some civil records of marriages before 1864. From a third party, I have obtained marriage information in printout format, that is taken from the Ballymena Marriage Register. The marriage took place 26 December 1846 between Francis McAuley and Margaret Cathcart. All of the information that typically is contained in the records for civil marriages after 1864 is there. Do you know: - if this Ballymena register can be reviewed on line? - if this register can be reviewed anywhere? Ballymena? Belfast? Dublin? - if similar registers exist (and can be accessed) for registry offices in Fermanagh or Monaghan? James
