Hi Sante,

Have also come across the marriage record but have no way of confirming it. Have no access to the parish records which might show that Honor's father was Hugh. Other than that don't know how to tell if it's the Honor in the census without being contacted by a descendant etc.

Thanks though,

Hi all,

Have just managed to find a marriage record for my elusive g.g.g.grandparents. Yay!!!

Bartle (AKA Bartholemy) Flynn and Elizabeth McKeon were married in Termonfeckin on 1 August 1829. Both were Catholics and it states that Elizabeth came from Sandpit. Unfortunately there's no info about either one's parents. (I have found a baptism for an Elizabeth McKeon in Skeaghmore, Togher - parents Cormick McKeon and Mary McGuire. Sadly have no idea if this is the same person. And I'm usually not that lucky so chances are it's a red herring!)

Have surfed the net and found a number of McKeons and Flynns in the area and even a few McKeon deaths in Sandpit House in the 1900s.

Was wondering if anyone out there had some connection to either of these families.

Waiting with bated breath,

Blue.

Hi Shane,

Thanks but had already mentioned the Evaluation in my post. Hugh is Patrick's father but I haven't had any luck finding anything else about him other than that he was a farmer. And sadly, like you noted, there are no other Delanys on record in that parish <sniff>.

Hi Joe,

One of your Kiwi connections here. Don't know what info I last passed on to you but found a marriage record for Elizabeth Courtney to Thomas Darby on 6 Dec 1824 in Coalisland. It turns out the name given for William Darby's death certificate was a mistake i.e. father being William when it should have been Thomas.

Thomas is also confirmed in the 1841 census for the family. Thomas, Elizabeth and William are all living in Whitburn, Lothian (I think from memory). A second son, John, was born c1844 in Glasgow. He married twice and had 10 children. Unfortunately a large number of them died in infancy. John, himself, died from laudanum poisoining in 1888.

Can provide you with updated info on what I've found if you want to send me an e-mail.

Regards,

Jodie.

Looking for any info on McAnultys living in Drummully in early 1800s.

John McAnulty came out to NZ as a Fencible in mid-1800s. In his enlistment papers he states that his place of birth was Drummully, Fermanagh and his occupation at the time of enlistment was weaver.

The same records also state that his father was Andrew McAnulty from Co. Cavan.

Have been unable to find any records for McAnulty's living in either area. Can anybody help?
