Baptism Lookups Cooneen Townland Co. Fermanagh. SCOTT

[bmckenz]

Would appreciate some assistance if possible. I have protestant parents Robert and Janette SCOTT(approx birth dates only for both parents 1805) baptising children somewhere in this townland. Children are:
Margaret SCOTT dob abt 1828
Jane Ann SCOTT dob abt 1828- some records indicate these girls are twins, others that Margaret is the elder
Robert SCOTT dob abt 1830
Eliza SCOTT dob abt 1832
Henry SCOTT dob abt 1834.
Family emigrated to Australia, parents died before arriving, children sent to orphanage.Just tracked down letters from Col. Secretary in Australia confirming birth locations of children as Cooneen Townland. Would be grateful of any assistance or advice as to where to look.
regards
Barbra

Cooneen " A rabbit (? burrow) "

The Parish having been created in 1870, out of Mullaghfad and Aghaluroher
Parishes, the Church was built in 1871, the cost of which, with a Schoolhouse and
Glebe House for the clergyman, and a large endowment in aid of his salary, was defrayed
out of a bequest of Rev. Butler Brooke. The site assigned and conveyed by Sir Victor
Brooke to the Trustees of the Will of Rev. Butler Brooke was on the lands of Tatten-
buddagh. The Church was Licensed for Divine Worship 16 June, 1873, and conse-
crated by the Bishop of Kilmore for the Primate on 28 Oct., 1873, under the name of
" The Cooneen Cross Church " (D.R.)

Records before 1870 and those since 1870 are in Parochial custody.
Mullaghfad now goes with it,

 out of Mullaghfad and Aghalurcher .......

Thanks for the information Hallmark.

Recently was in touch with the Rector of Colebrooke and Cooneen with Mullaghfad trying to chase up these baptisms. None in the records he holds. So looking for other possibilities in terms of churches for someone who would give Cooneen as their townland.

As I'm from Australia I have little knowledge about how to proceed now. But not possible for me to access PRONI or any of the records that require me to be 'on site'.

Appreciate the assistance

George and Robert Scott were listed in the tithe applotment records for Cooneen in 1833 (meaning they each farmed land there):

None there by the time of Griffiths Valuation in 1862.

Cooneen is pretty close to Fivemiletown. Their Church of Ireland records start in 1804. You could try those records.
