Given Family of Enniskillen
« on: Friday 25 March 05 09:38 GMT (UK) »
Seeking information on the family / descendants of Robert Given (b C1830) in or near Enniskillen, Fermanagh.
We have an old will (defunct) - written by Robert - that shows his origin as Enniskillen, Fermanagh.  He married a Margaret Ferguson and at least one daughter - Fanny Given - in Perth, Scotland, in1851.  Little else is known but we believe that there may well be descendants of Robert still in the area, and would love to know more of the history of the family.
Thank you

Hi,
Fanny Given, was my Great Grandmother. After she was born, her family moved to Liverpool, where they appear to have stayed. Fanny Given married a Christopher Newcoman of Liverpool and had a number of children including my Grandmother Lillian Newcoman. She, in turn married a Robert Cummings.
I have been researching the family on and off for the last 10 years and has a result have a lot more detail.
When you reply to this message I can give this information.
Regards,
GRSC

Welcome to Rootschat, GRSC, but springermic hasn't been online here since a few minutes after posting that message.
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!

Thanks for your reply. I did notice the same, but was living in hope, that one day he may care to take a look. Its a pity, because there is no doubt that we could exchange family details.
Thanks again
Regards
Gordon
