Holywell
« on: Wednesday 07 July 21 20:25 BST (UK) »
Hi.   I am doing research into a relative.  Family history says she always said she was born in County Cavan.  The only recod I can find which fits suggests she may have been born in Holywell.  I can see it is now on the border - has it ever been in County Cavan.  Her birth date was 1874.
Many thanks

Holywell is very definitely in Co Fermanagh and it's very unlikely to have ever been in Co Cavan. It's in the townland of Cavancarragh and also adjoins Rushin West.

Can you give us her name and the SRD in 1874 (presumably Enniskillen)? Better still a link would help.

Her name is Bridget Cassidy.  I have her DoB as 5th Feb 1874 - This is from the 1939 register.  The only tie I can find is a Bridget Cassidy born Holywell.  BUt as I said she always told family here she was from County Cavan.  If this is the right record I can find records of siblings being born in County Cavan.  So I am thinking that the family moved slightly south around 1877/78.

I am not sure what you are referring to when you ask for the SRD?  Will happily supply if I have it -once I know what it is!  Many thanks Sian

Hi

Looking at the top of the Birth Register page - it appears to say Holywell “in the Counties of Fermanagh & Cavan”.

Regards
