John EMMERSON & Mary Ann BLAIR
Known children all recorded at Tempo, parish of Enniskillen and/or Cleenish.
Female: ?........... ...4th Feb 1864
Male: John .....12th Apr 1868
" Robert..... 8th Sep 1870
Female Margaret...9th Jul 1872
Male Thomas 22nd Jun 1874
Source: Vital records Index British Isles
Griffiths Valuation Index (1847-1864)
Blair surname listed in Cleenish parish but not in Tempo and Em(m)erson listed in Enniskillen also not in Tempo
The only John Emerson listed in Fermanagh is at two locations
Parish: Aghalurcher Location: Carrickpolin
Parish: Magheracross Location: Coa
This may be John senior or another relative, and the john married to Mary Ann Blair may only have occupied property at Tempo after the Valuation, but there are many scenarios!.
Hope it helps.
Mike.

There are numerous reasons why the two ladies do not appear in eith the online search or in the CDrom version, it may simply be they were not transcribed, but more than likely the section, page or entire book is missing, damaged etc.
Sadly many records have been lost due to fading ink, water damage, rising damp, rodent attack and worst of all humad vandalism where an entire page has been removed because one entry for someones ancestor was on the page.
I know this from first hand experience, when I sat browsing parish record books in Limerick, the PP sat with me and when I suggested he need not stay I got the reason why he had to remain with me, he then went on to show me where pages had been removed, also other damage.
When we search an undamaged book for an ancestor we knew had been born 1840 and was not able to find a record we were also informed that "unfortunately PP's did not always attend to the records and would forget to include them, so there is another reason that records cannot be found.
The firs unamed female on the list may have been one of the children you are missing, birth dates recorded elsewhere in the world cannot be substantiated anyway.
Mike.

Hello Paddy.
You can consider the Fermanagh Heritage Centre for a paid research, but they can be pretty costly.
My suggestion is send a letter to the Emerson addresses that I sent you, you can almost place a bet that they are related and may well have their genealogy done.
I have provided current addresses to people researching their irish roots, where a surname from the 1800's still shows today and with moderate success, although on a couple of occasions the writer has been requested not to continue making contact, why is a mystery, but I have heard that some in Ireland are concerned about inheritance claims!!
I reckon a letter is your best line of research from here.
Mike.

I can't help you with your search but I'm wondering if we may have a distant connection with the Blair name.
Letitia Coulter, parents George Coulter & Deborah Blair
Letitia born abt 1846 in Enniskillen, Fer, Ireland married
Alexander Glover, my husbands ggrandparents
I have not been able to confirm all this info as yet. It is so frustrating. Do you have much about the Blair family?
regards pegdoll. ps I live in Ch.Ch. NZ
