Fermanagh / Re: Hugh Haron circa 1835...where to start?
« on: Saturday 11 July 20 13:59 BST (UK) »
Thank you for the welcome.
I have been searching the parishes for the baptisms, and struggling to read the records.
I have fond a PDF of the history of Fermanagh that on Pages 40 & 41 refers to the following:
The early Haran family of County Fermanagh
During the early Macquire period one sixth of Fermanagh was Church property. To manage this property the church founders selected a family to act as tenants. The head of this family was called a herenach or termoner. The herenach was responsible for farming the land and caring for the church, for which he was liable for two thirds of the upkeep, as well as the collection of tithes. The position of herenach was hereditary and as such, the same church was cared for by the same family through the ages. The Haran family was responsible for the upkeep of the Church at MacEntagart (Ballymacatagart)
The Haran family name derives from the ancient Irish name, Ó hAráin; Haran and was also spelled Haren, Harron, Harran, over the years.
The herenach was referred to as Mac an tSagairt, Ó hAráin (MacEntegart, Harren).
In 1796 James and Patrick Haran were freeholders of land at Cornakill, Cleenish Parish, Enniskillen, and Laurence Haran farmed at Derryvully (Derryvullen, Derryvullan). Later records reveal that Laurence also farmed on Cornaleck townland, Kinawley Parish, Enniskillen, east of Belcoo.
A few questions, I am trying to confirm to which Parish Church this would belong? Would it be this one?
