Before I forget, as a genealogist researcher, please correct the spelling of my WEBBER surname! That's mighty important stuff! Fr PJ Corrigan opened up his Church archives to us in May 1998. We did the research ourselves. I'm sure if you offer him some financial "appreciation", he or his successor will accommodate your USA CHURCH tax-deductible contribution! Not sure of his Church's name but assured if you write to the Roman Catholic Church in Belturbet, he or his replacement will get it! Wish you Luck!

My question concerns your travels through BELTUBERT I believe my ancestors lived or near that location. They were Roman Catholic do you recall the name of the Catholic Church and or the name of the Priest there? The way you wrote of your search it seems the Priest m,ay be receptive to a request for baptismal records . Do you think he/they would be willing to do such a lookup?

Two lists records held by the National Archives are: http://www.nationalarchives.ie/cavaneduc.html http://www.nationalarchives.ie/cavanpriv.html Only Corlatty Carroll is old enough to really get my attention but I don't know where it is. A coule of years ago, local historian named Kevin Sweeney had a subscription site on the net dealing with County Cavan. Therein he described research he did using school records held by the school itself. I think it was Ballynarry and the records were circa 1830. Unfortunately his site soon disappeared without warning and I have been unable to contact him since. He still has school articles on the net; e.g. http://www.iol.ie/~kevins/geneo/national_schools.html Issue 6, 'The Cavan Genealogist' http://ireland.iol.ie/~kevins/geneo/index_geneo.html Perhaps someone on this list has issue 6 and can lookup what it has to say about the existence of old school records. -- Cheers, Colin Ferguson

Kay; Thanks for the effort. Having personally searched (spring of 1998) with no success the Belturbet & Drumlane area (lots of Lovett’s in area-Francis/Mary Lovett-Phillips was my gggrandmother) I also searched for her husband Peter Phillips. Capt. Michael Phillips very much evident as landowner but no Peter. Also checked British Army records unsuccessfully. Concepta McGovern at Cavan County Canahouse has tried to help for years also! I have USA proof that Francis/Mary’s Lovett’s father was a Cavan County “Gardener” indicating he worked for an estate in Cavan. Lovett surname heavy in Belturbit & Drumlane area, mostly all C of I. When visiting there 1998, we first hand looked (no success) at C of I Archives at Archdeacon Johnston’s home. There were very few Lovett’s when searching Fr. Corrigan’s Catholic Church records in Belturbet Dick Webber in snowy mountains of NC USA! -----Original Message----- From: Kay Stanton [mailto:kay-stanton@cfl.rr.com] Sent: Thursday, February 12, 2004 8:35 AM To: grappadw@bellsouth.net Subject: School This is the reply from my best source - not good.

ANGLO-CELT OCTOBER 20, 1848 IMPROVEMENT OF CAVAN We congratulate the townspeople of Cavan on the decision given by the Assistant-Barrister, P. M. MURPHY, Esq., in the cases of ejectment brought forward by Mr. James ARMSTRONG against the owners and occupiers of Mudwall-row. That sink of iniquity, filth, and disease has long been the curse of the town. Its denizens were adepts in almost every crime known to human nature, perpetrating robberies and other atrocities with impunity. By the decision of Mr. MURPHY, sixty of those wretched tenements will be cleared of their human vermin and levelled with the ground. Nothing, we are sure, can give greater satisfaction to the inhabitants of Cavan and the surrounding country. FIRE IN STRADONE--On Wednesday morning a fire broke out on the premises of Mr. Henry CULLEN, of Stradone, whereby one house was totally consumed; and were it not that the townspeople and the police afforded prompt and efficient assistance, the greater part of the town would have been probably destroyed. The praiseworthy conduct of the constabulatary on this occasion is well worthy the consideration of the police authorities. FIRE IN COOTEHILL--On Monday morning, about ten o'clock, a fire broke out almost instantaneously from one of the bakehouse ovens belonging to Thos. FITZGERALD, Esq., of Cootehill. The fire, it is supposed, escaped through some crevice with which the bakers were unacquainted, and igniting some thatched stabling and offices, spread the most rapid destruction over them. In half an hour from the outbreak, four office-houses were completely ruined, notwithstanding that the most prompt measures were at once resorted to in order to extinguish the flames. The Quarter Sessions Court was sitting at the time, but as soon as the news reached the Courthouse, the humane and much- respected Barrister, P. M. MURPHY, Esq., adjourned the business of the sessions, and ordered all hands forthwith to repair to the scene of destruction. The police, encouraged by the presence and spirit of their officer, T. L. FORTESCUE, Esq., were most eager to discharge their arduous duties, and laboured with great activity for two hours and a half-- The fire communicated with hay and stray stacks in yards adjoining that of Mr. FITZGERALD's belonging to Mrs. PARKS and Hiugh MARTIN, and for a time appeared to bid defiance to the united efforts of all. It was at length abated, not, however, without some of the police having received some serious injuries--The Barrister was so much pleased the the account of their conduct, that he intends having a testimonial forwarded through Colonel M'GREGOR for their exertions on the occasion. R. MAJOR HASSARD, Esq.--We have read the letters of this gentleman, and we do not see anything in them worthy of transferring to our columns.... ===================================================== CORONER'S INQUEST AT BALLYDUFF (From a Correspondent) An inquest was held on the body of Terence BRADY, a respectable shopkeeper in this town, before Doctor Macfadin, coroner, on Friday, the 13th inst. The deceased's servant maid, on being examined, stated that of late she observed her master's manners to be simple, silent, and melancholy. On the night previous to his decease he eat(sic) his supper and retired to his bedroom as usual; never saw him alive afterwards; early next morning found some person (she believes her master) going out on the front door; shortly after this she was awakened by her mistress, asking where deceased had gone; her mistress then awoke the servant man, and sent him in search of deceased. Thomas DOWD sworn, deposed that early on the morning of Thursday, the 12th inst., he was awakened by his mistress, who desired him to go in search of his master. After searching various places, he at length found him in Kilmore river, in about 2½ feet of water, with his usual dress on him, save his hat, which was on the edge of the bank, and was the first object he observed; had Philip SMITH assisting him to take deceased out of the river; deceased had a cord round his neck and fastened to a stone of about 14 lbs. weight, with a space of 3 or 4 inches between his neck and the stone; found him lying on his face; believes, on his oath, that deceased came by his death of himself. The wife of deceased also believes that her husband came by his death of his own accord. John REILLY, brother-in-law of deceased, sworn, deposed that he believes deceased to be out of his mind, from frequent violent expressions which he made use of the night previous to his decease, in reference to many embarrassments that were coming on him.

I am looking for information on John Armstrong and his wife Elizabeth McVittie. They would have married sometime around 1830. John was a Miller. Their daughter Alicia (born 1834) in Cavan, Cavan County emigrated to Australia in 1849 per the Digby. It does not seem that any other family came with her and she may have been a potato famine orphan. If anyone has any connections I'd love to hear back Thanks Charlotte

"The Anglo Celt" Cavan; Thursday, May 1, 1856 BELTURBET PETTY SESSIONS Saturday, 26th April. Magistrates present - John GUINLEY, J. P.; Thomas F. KNIPE; W. HUMPHREYS, J.P., D.O.; Captain CLIFFORD, J.P., Captain PHILIPS, J.P., and W. M. HICKSON, R.M., Esqrs. David M. HALE v. Alexander M'CLEAN. A charge of assaulting complainant, a policeman, in the execution of his duty. The complainant stated that on the 21st the defendant gave him a box and caught him by the neck. He had previously seen young M'CLEAN knock down one PRUNTY, and ran to separate them. Witness when he came down got hold of young M'Clean and Prunty, when the defendant came up and gave the blow. He subsequently made at complainant with a loaded butt and threatened "to regulate him," which he was prevented from doing by the presence of a second policeman alone. Cross-examined by Mr. J. ARMSTRONG - (?) seventeen months in Belturbet; did not see Printy strike oung M'Clean; did not see the old man go forward to save his son, but saw him go forward to kick Prunty, and to attack him with what appeared to be a loaded butt; the butt was taken away from the defendant before witness could get hold of it. The butt was a whip butt; defendant gave Prunty one "lick of it;" witness has not Prunty summoned because he did not think it necessary, the parties having summonses between themselves; has one policeman here to give evidence in the case, and a second if required. John DAREY (?), Sub-Constable, corroborated this witness. He, too, saw young M'Clean knocked down twice; old M'Clean then came up and kicked Printy n the belly or thigh, and also got hold of M'Hale by the neck. Maclean had also a loaded butt in his hand. Cross-examined by Mr. Armstrong, M'Clean said M'Hale had something is against him, and only for the law he would regulate him; told M'Hale to take the defendant easy, but he was not using him with unnecessary violence; saw no assault made by Prunty on your M'Clean; the defendant was neither dragged nor pushed. In answer to Mr. M'Kinstry, S.I., M'Hale said that defendant exclaimed he would allow the "papist puppy" of a policeman against him, and if the matter was left between . (rest of sentence is illegible.)
