Going through older posts and came across this one which had not gotten any replies. By now you might have been able to find more information but if you haven't done so the following might be of interest.

Civil registration of births in Ireland started 1864 (too late for your John Blair) but IGI lists 2 children which may, or may not, be siblings:
1. Margaret Blair born 17 Oct.1865 Drumnahaire district, Leitrim, Ireland (parents William Blair and Margaret Cregg)
2. Catherine Blair born 16 June 1872 Co. Leitrim, Ireland (parents William Blair and Margaret Craig)

County Leitrim and Co. Fermanagh share a border but Drumnahaire seems to be in Carrick-on-Shannon area which is not that close to the border.

And here's a link to your other post already with the details I looked up earlier today:

To avoid any further duplication it would be best to post any more replies to the other thread.
