Hello Everyone,
I am wondering if anyone can help me solve a problem. My great grandfather, JOHN McCAWLEY, came from Fermanagh. On his marriage certificate he stated that his fathers name was BERNARD and that his father was a farmer in Fermanagh.
I have found one BERNARD McAULEY in Mullyneeney, Kinawley, one BERNARD McCAULY in Drumgague, Killesher and another BERNARD McCAULY in Drummoan or Newtate. These were in Griffiths Valuation.
I think JOHN was born about the mid 1830s, but I cannot seem to find church records for the area that go back that far. Has anyone any idea of how I should proceed or even if I can? Any and all suggestions welcome. Thank you in advance.

Hi Nora,
I have a Bernard McAuley married to Bridget Dougherty.
Their daughter Margaret McAuley married John Hoy/Hoey in Monea R.C Chapel, Derrygonnelly, Fermanagh on 26th August 1857.
Margaret died in Glasgow , her death cert gives her parents names, her father is described as a farmer. Her age is given as 75, which gives her a birthdate of c.1840.
Regards,
Jan

Hi Jan,
Thank you for your reply to my post. Do you know if your Bernard McAuley had a son called John born about 1835? Do you know where in Fermanagh he had a farm or if he farmed for someone else?
Kindest regards,
Nora
