I am trying to locate any relatives/descendants of Hugh McBarron and his wife Elizabeth Hurst who lived in Fermanagh in the early 1800s. I believe that Hugh McBarron was a farmer who died in 1847 in Fermanagh. Elizabeth and family migrated to Australia. I am also trying to locate any information about Thomas Anderson and his wife Ann Hume or Home who migrated to Fermanagh from Scotland about 1841. Their son, Thomas married Jane McBarron, daughter of Hugh and Elizabeth. I am a descendant, desperately trying to find any Irish connections &/or history. Can anyone help? Maxene

:)Thanks Christopher. Is there any way that I can check if these Hursts and McBarons are from my family - or would that be too early for any reliable records? I appreciate your help and expertise, Maxene

Hello Maxene,
It's too early to do any checking of Hursts and McBarrons at the moment. There are still families named McBarron living in Co. Fermanagh www.192.com Johnny McBarron and Liam McBarron are both mentioned in the History of the Kinawley Gaelic Football Club www.kinawleygfc.com/content/view/12/26
You can have a look at Griffith's Valuation in these links.

You'll have to rely on Church records when searching for the Anderson, Hume, Hurst and McBarron families they were born prior to the introduction of Civil Registration in Ireland which started in 1864. Marriages of Non Catholic were registered from 1845 onwards.
You'll need to establish the following items if you are going to have any success in finding more about them ...
1. Denomination ... this is important as it's the first step in finding church records.
2. Parish ... step two in your search. Once you've established the denomination you need to find the churches in that particular parish as well as making enquiries about the existence of records for the period you are researching. You should be able to find these details online ... make a note of where such records are held.
3. Townland ... this can range in size from an acre to several thousand acres. In a great many cases the name of a townland referred to an identifiable feature of the landscape ... properties may or may not have had names but it's unlikely they were numbered as they may have been in towns and cities when your ancestor's were living.

Thanks Christopher. I currently have the Irish Family History Foundation checking out the death registrations to hopefully find a record of Ann (Home) Anderson or Thomas Anderson and, hopefully, I may glean a bit of info which will help me.
re. Townland - I am not sure what this is, but on his immigration papers, Thomas Anderson said that he came from Southerntown, Fermanagh. Could this perhaps be what he referred to? I have not seen Southerntown anywhere else in my research.
I am certain that Hugh McBarron was a land owner/farmer but have been told that he lost all of his property/wealth after going guarantor (or similar) for a neighbour. He supposedly died in 1847, so his land ownership would have been prior to this.
Thanks for the info about McBarrons still living in the area. I will try to make contact - maybe they can give me some assistance.
Once again, I am really grateful for all of your assistance and advice. Maxene

Maxene,
A lengthy list of Townlands in County Fermanagh on www.enniskillen.com was posted by the Admin of that site. A couple of members mentioned one or two townlands that he omitted. I've posted a query to see if the Admin or one of other two posters on that particular thread have heard of Southerntown.
I think you're right about that aghadowey although was Lowtherstown not a town rather than a townland? The Admin on the Enniskillen site didn't mention it on his list. My hunch is he may have some good reference books relating to the county as the list is on the long side

To Aghadowey and Christopher - thank you, thank you, thank you. I oroginally had Irvinestown as my location until I accessed Thomas Anderson's immigration papers and saw Southerntown - I think you may have solved one (of many) puzzles that this family keeps throwing at me!! Cheers, Maxene
