Fermanagh / Re: Wilson's in Derrykillagh Townland Fermanagh Ireland info
« on: Saturday 06 February 21 04:16 GMT (UK)  »
Hello Kiltaglassan,
I agree with your comments,
However the spelling i originally used came from the  Enniskillen Chronicle and Erne Packet were that spelling had be used several times when searching for more family details.
I used it on my first post many years ago,  I used the Derryhillagh spelling soon afterwards.
My Wilsons had the mill at  Derrykeeghan Townland, the spelling of the name  has changed many times, (Derryheean being one, as  my ggg grandparents headstone shows) Next door is Woaghternerry or Waternerry, the sign to the little township is the first one.
regards
Colin

Hello drgug,
Derrykillagh was another old spelling of Derryhillagh.
The results of DNA testing for the Wilson group done is on Familytree DNA, All have done the Y700 test as it had the best results which now show which family we each belong to in Fermanagh, we know some with the same DNA moved to Tyrone.
I have been looking for a Wilson descended from Thomas for some time, the original Wilson settlers who lived in Topped mountain (Mullyknock) in the early 1600's may have been the ancestors, George Wilson was the other Wilson from the early 1600's retired to Lisbellaw and had son and a grandson George, would like to find a descendant, He was from England.
Ancestry dna test is only a Autosomal DNA test, very general, Ydna test is the only way to get a pure male line result and a Mt Full test is teh only pure female line results.
regards
Colin Wilson

Derrykeeghan, Derryhillagh, Gortmesson, Waternerry Wilson update 12 2018.
Trimble wrote in 1911 that my family had operated the Derrykeeghan mill over at least 200 years.
Only the remnants of the mill survive. Owned now by the Johnston family who bought it of Christopher Wilson's family early 1900's. Townland building pulled down to built the bridge and raise the Ardgart rd in the 1870-1880's.
The surnames on the remaining tombs surrounding our Wilson family Tomb at ST Macartin's Cathedral are all genetically related to my Derrykeeghan Wilson family.
Scott, Crawford (new find this year), Wilson's from Gortmesson.plus a few others.
The descendants of the Gortmesson Wilson's migrated to Australia, The James and Anne Wilson (nee Coulter of Imeroo) of Derryhillagh Children and  migrated to Australia except for one whose descendant lives in the Bayou Mississippi., The Derrykeeghan Wilson children except for Christopher Wilson who inherited the farm and Mill,  migrated to Australia. His sister stayed and and married Alexander Steen from Clogher. Christopher married Sarah Wilson of Waternerry and was the only daughter of Andrew Wilson.
Another Derryhillagh Wilson family remains but relatives of previous generations went to Canada.
We are looking for more Wilson from the area to help with the DNA research.
This group has a unique dna and is not related to 99.99% of person with the Wilson Surname
regards
Colin Wilson

Wilson's update from Derryhillagh, Derrykeeghan, Gortmesson and Waternerry, County Fermanagh. They are all genetically related. have been having testing done for few years. A newspaper article dated 1846 stated mt ggg Grandmother Rebecca was buried in the family plot under a headstone dated 1625. My ancestords are all buried at St Macartins cathedral Enniskillen. Found ggg grandfather Christopher and Rebecca's headstone about 5 weeks ago.

Updated info
After a trip to Ireland Dna testing has shown  one of the Derryhillagh Wilson (Newbury) have common ancestors about 500-600 years ago to the Derrykeeghan Wilson whose descendants went to Australia. The Australian Derrykeeghan Wilson may be related to one of the other Wilson families in the area, more DNA testing is being done to clarify the family groups. Gortmesson, Waternerry are the other close by townlands, mostly occupied by peoples with the Wilson surname in the 1700-18800-1900's
On the Derrykeeghan Mills Townland (of about 12 houses) they had James and Christopher Wilson from another Derryhillagh family , who are separate from the James and Christopher who descendants came to Australia.
