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)

Regards Margaret Brookes (Melbourne Margaret, could 'Pithres' be Pettigo? Have another look at the discharge document, could it be misspelt or bad handwriting? Carole.

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.
