Going through older posts and noticed this one had not received a reply.

Ballycassidy is a townland, as is Laragh, both in the civil parish of Trory, in the Poor Law Union of Enniskillen. The local workhouse would have been in Enniskillen itself.

Some lovely pictures and information here:

Enniskillen workhouse and the famine:

You can find lots more by putting 'enniskillen workhouse' into a search engine like Google.

Glad that you saw the message I posted earlier and the information was of interest. Used to spend lots of time at Laragh, walking to Ballycassidy, Trory Parish Church, etc. and it's a lovely area.

A bit more for you:
