Leitrim / Re: Alexander Trotter born circa 1799 in Leitrim
« on: Sunday 22 December 19 12:05 GMT (UK)  »
Sorry I do not have an Alexander in my Trotter branch.  That was a mistake.  John settled in Tullyskeherny. Two sons continued to farm there. One was  Christopher, the remains of his house are still standing.  Christopher was my ggfather.
 The other was Thomas, whose son, Edward, had the lime kiln on the roadside. I understand that his descendants they went on to establish the quarry at Lurganboy.
Most of the info I have came from an Alfie Trotter who lived to be 100 and died some years ago.

Sorry Christopher was my great grandfather.  My fathers's middle name was Christopher.

My father , born 1899 and his parents lived at Tullyskeherney, and the ruins of the house still exist.
John Trotter was as far as i could go back to. He settled there about 1810, and his son Christopher Trotter was my grandfather.  They were related to the Trotters of Boihy, who originally lived on the upper road beside a stream, and later moved to the banks of the Bonet river.   Some of my Trotterts are buried in the C of I. Manorhamilton The grave stone has a small urn on top, and a biblical reading as well.

Dhontario you mentioned about religious differences.  I have researched this and the differences were  between the Primitive Wesleyans and the Methodists.
When Charles Wesley died, he had requested that the funeral service should  be conducted by the Church of England  The Wesleys never intended to set up a separate Methodist Religion. It was meant to be an offshoot of the C of E.

Killymendon and  also Cabragh (a large townland) on the Tyrone/ Fermanagh border had many Hendersons.  In fact one early map I have seen specifically marked part of a townland as "Henderson"  I have been exploring and have visited the site but without much success.  John Boles

I was of the opinion that Cash hill was part of Drumbulcan townland.  It is right on the border of county Tyrone and many Hendersons lived on both sides of this border

 Try searching for     'flickr' and when you find the flickr site, do a search for Magheracross Fermanagh.  This should bring you to some of the graves I have photographed, and if you can read any inscriptions, it would be helpful if you were to record them on the flickr site .................Let me know if you still have problems.
