Brenda, I was very interested to see that there was a Herbie Rexter link. I only started looking into the family history a few years ago when my Grandfather (Edith rexters' son) first became ill. We never got to meet any actual Rexters because all I think are now dead...however they have many decendants in Enniskillen and the nearby townlands and this is where we have to find the missing links. I am trying to get the phone numbers of at least two people who very nice to my grandfather in his search (I will send these and their addresses in a Personal message when I verify they are corrrect). Iwould say at this stage that we must defo be related especially due to the Herbert name. All the names that we have seem to criss-cross each other. On the birth certs etc, there are a lot of William James Rexter, Elizabeth Rexter, Herbert etc..
The family married in the area and local townlands, ie..Knock Island, Rigg, Boho and elsewhere. Their decendants nowdays are Robinsons, Beattys, Strongs, Conrans etc.. The Rexters were Protestant but married into Catholic families which was not at all cool at the time...apparently this is why so many left their towns and went to England, Australia, etc..
I will get the info and leave a pm. Also must get some contact adress to send the copies of birth certs etc..
