BIGGINS / MCFADYEN / WINTERSON
« on: Monday 29 May 06 13:52 UTC (UK) »
I am trying to find the birthplace of my great grand parents ( and beyond ) and hoping there's someone out there who can point me in the right direction.

William ( born 1841 ) and Michael ( born 1844) Biggins, the sons of Bernard and Catherine ( nee Currie? ) left Ireland for Glasgow around 1865/69. William had married Elis(z)abeth Winterson in Co Fermanagh ( don't know where ) and they possibly had a daughter, Elizabeth. Michael was a single man, but married in Pollockshaws, Glasgow on 31/12/1869 to Mary McFadyen ( born in Ireland to parents Patrick & Mary, nee McGinlay ).

Attached is a copy of the birth record William & Elizabeth's 2nd(?) daughter, Margaret, born in Scotland. As you can see there is a note of the marriage - but what does it say as to the place in Co Fermanagh?

Since posting this message I have obtained an original (copy) of the birth certificate which gives the place of marriage as NEWTONBUTLER,  DECEMBER 1860.  I have also found information which gives Elizabeth's father as THOMAS WINTERSON, FARMER. From a Griffiths Valuation of October 1862 I have found a Thomas Winterson in the Parish of KINAWLEY - is this the family? It may be coincidence but there is a BIGGINS noted in another Griffiths of 1857 at BAWNBOY in Co Cavan. Am I right in thinking that Newtonbutler, Kinawley and Bawnboy are not a million miles away from each other?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
