Clive The Crown Solicitor, James Cooper submitted a list of people who crossed the border into Co Fermanagh. I think it was published in the Clogher Record. I have read it about two years ago, but can't remember how or where I found it. Information in it gave the name of head of family, "and his wife and x children". Where they moved from and where they moved to. >From memory I think it was a report to the Land Commission about changes of Occupier's, and was quite a substantial document. Mainly ex RIC and Protestant people came north. I did make some notes at the time. They are filed on my desk top computer. If I can find them I'll share with you.
