Hi,
My GG Grandfather was James Harkins. He was born approx. 1826 and came to Australia in early 1858. On most of his certificates he states that he was born in Lisnaskea, Co. Fermanagh. He joined the Royal Irish Constabulary in 1847 where it also states that he was from Fermanagh, and during his service he was based in Cork E. and Tipperary South. On his marriage certificate he names his father as Patrick Harkins, a clerk, and his mother as Anne Cunan/Curran. So far I’ve had zero luck finding out anything about his parents or any siblings he may have had. Most queries I’ve made tell me that he probably came from Donegal or one of the other counties, but all his documents say Fermanagh, so I was wondering if anybody can find any information linking any Harkin/s families to Lisnaskea or Fermanagh around the period 1820 to 1850?
Much Appreciated.
