Fermanagh / Townlands and place names
« on: Monday 13 February 23 21:49 GMT (UK)  »
Hi,

I map for an organisation called the Open Street Map and have been involved in mapping the  townlands in Fermanagh for almost a decade.  This information is then made available to the general public via sites like townlands.ie

Over the years we have come to find named parts of townlands (we called them sub-townlands) or even lost townlands that people used to use in records etc, but aren't found on modern maps.  I would like to find them and put them back on the map where they belong.

If you have any placenames that are not already on townlands.ie, please mention them here and where you think they might be.

Thanks

I am looking for information about "Harry Percival SWAN" b1879, d1970, I know he was a well known figure in the town of Buncrana, where he bequeathed "Swan Park" and his entire collection to the people of Buncrana. 

I have searched the 1901 and 1911 Census and can not find him.  Does anyone know anything about him?

Kincardineshire / George Smith STERLING b Aprox 1856
« on: Tuesday 02 December 14 21:23 GMT (UK)  »
I am looking for a "George Smith STERLING" b Aprox 1856, who apparently moved to Buncrana, County Donegal, Ireland sometime between the 1901 and 1911 Census.

He is listed in Buncrana with two daughters "Sarah Smith STERLING" and "Margaret Dorothea STERLING".  There is no wife listed and his status is Widower. 

I am looking for more information about this family, including his wife's names and her family.
