Hi, This is interesting. My g.g. grandmother was Elizabeth Watterson. In the Watterson family there are boys/men named Noble Watterson from Fermanagh. Wattersons who went to Pennsylvania in 1841, have a Noble Watterson, the family who went to North Gower near Ottawa Canada in 1848 have a Noble Wattrerson, and my family in Ireland have a Noble Watterson. Have you done the autosomal dna test with familytreedna??? If you have look for Laura Ashman, Emily Sterling, myself and Elsie Rogan. Also look for a Freda Fulton and Janet Scott.

I think it's because of the lack of records in Fermanagh. I'm looking for a couple (surnames Graham and Weir) who were born in 1787 and 1797, married in 1818 and emigrated to Canada in 1822. Would love to know where in Fermanagh they came from! At the beginning of my DNA search so I'm hopeful! And perhaps something will come up as more records are indexed. Good luck to you in your search! I can relate!!! - Karen Sent from my iPhone > On Jan 27, 2015, at 9:50 PM, James Noble via <fermanagh-gold@rootsweb.com> > wrote: > > I have been tested by FTDNA for Y chromosome markers, and have found it > gives tantalizing but so far not useful results. > > I am descended from John Francis Noble, born (somewhere) in Co.
