Lisness, Fermanagh- completed
« on: Saturday 06 September 08 12:17 BST (UK) »
Is there a place (townland, parish, Quay etc.) called Lisness in Fermanagh County? or similar spelling. Grateful for any information.

Think I found the answer to the place name and it's not a townland, parish or quay named Lisness in Fermanagh but Lisnaskea!

Thanks aghadowey - I believe you have solved this mystery. Lisness Quay was written in a family bible, probably the way it sounded to the writer. I am grateful for your detective work!
