Placename...Bognea/Bognear
« on: Wednesday 26 March 08 16:15 UTC (UK) »
Hi all

I have been to the Irish Atlas of Townlands and Parishes database and there is nothing that remotely even looks like what I have as a placename - BOGNEA or BOGNEAR. Huh

So I am thinking it must have been a name maybe the 'locals' used??

This placename appeared in an old Obit that was within the Christian Guardian which was a Canadiana publication for obits, marriages and deaths. 

I suspect "Bognea or Bognear" was somewhere in northern Co. Fermanagh perhaps in the Parish of of Belleek or the Parish of Inishmacsaint? But I do think some of Canada's early pioneers from Ireland were not quite sure of their homeland's County boundaries so this placename could have been referring to a place located in a Parish of Co. Donegal bordering Co. Fermanagh

Just wondering if anybody recognizes it at all Huh

Hello LUV,

I've looked at the list of townlands on enniskillen.com

There's no sign of Bognea or Bognear.

I'd suggest sending an e-mail to Enniskillen library ...

Thank you Christopher

I just posted off an email to the Library and will see if someone might have something to offer up.

Cheers

Hi Luv and Christopher

I don't know if this is in any way relevant as my geography is not good!

But there is an obscure Northern Ireland Species report which mentions a Corbet Bognear on a Rathin Island.

Over to you

HI there

I had found that too  Wink

Rathlin Island is off the coast of Co Antrim so not close by where this family is supposed to have lived which was in and around  the townlands of Ballyshannon/Belleek areas (Co. Donegal bordering Co. Fermanagh)

Thanks for the thoughts
