:( Thanks aghadowey.

Can someone check this newspaper notice? I can't find her death record.

On inst, o>kticld, neĞr Enniskillen, Elia*, beth, the youngest daughter of Mr John Maguire.

Published: Thursday 24 February 1870
Newspaper: Enniskillen Chronicle and Erne Packet
County: Fermanagh, Northern Ireland
Type: Article | Words: 389 | Page: 2, 3


There seems to be something wrong with the searches on Irish Genealogy at the moment. I searched for Elizabeth Maguire died 1870- nothing. Maguire 1870- nothing. Elizabeth 1870- nothing. 1870- nothing!

Added- this might be the death-

The online death certificates start at 1871 at present.

Checking the 1901 census there is a Hugh Maguire in Aghacramhill townland-

Ten years later he's aged 20 years-

Clearly not the Hugh Maguire of Belfast.

Have you checked for baptisms of all the children in case any of the sponsors have a Maguire connection?

For reference here's the marriage of Hugh Maguire-

Hugh's occupation is shopman which indicates that father's occupation of 'gentleman' may be a bit exaggerated.

I think you need to realise that you need to look at both acreage and value of a holding. There are lots of rural areas with poor ground only suitable for grazing and those parcels often cover a lot of ground.
With the occupation "gentleman" you might be looking at a landsteward rather than farmer.

Is this the correct Hugh?
The Will of Hugh Maguire late of Wandsworth Villas Strandtown County Down Merchant who died 22 March 1896 was proved at Belfast by Sarah J. Maguire Widow and George A. Maguire Gentleman both of Strandtown Executors. Effects £10,014 18s. 9d.
Will dated 13 Sept.1893 mentions 'wife,' son George ...
https://apps.proni.gov.uk/WillsCalendar_IE/WillsSearchImage.aspx?id=214010

This might be the place to search for Hugh's father John but be aware that Maguire (and its various spellings) is one of the most common names in County Fermanagh.

As I already mentioned, the Ryan family moved about quite a bit. They seem to have moved out of Portlaw itself between 1894 (death of son Michael) and 1901 census.
1869- stableman, Main St.; 1871- servant, Main St.; 1874- stableman, Main St.; 1878- 6 Bridge St., coachman; 1879- Curtis St., coachman; 1882- coachman, 3 Curtis La.; 1892- coachman, 2 Bridge St.; 1894- The Bridge
