Hi I am looking for more information on Alicia Crawford, born 1862 dtr of William Crawford and Margaret Maxwell of Dereneve, Fermanagh.  She married William Hagan and supposedly emigrated to Manitoba in Canada where she died in 1907.    Seven of her siblings came to Australia.  If any one has any information I would love to hear from you.

LDS database has birth of Alicia Crawford 20 July 1866 (page 150 in civil register), Ederny, Co.Fermanagh (daughter of William Crawford and Margaret Maxwell).
Ederny townland is in Magheraculmoney Parish (Lowtherstown Poor Law Union).

There isn't a townland in the area called Dereneve but if you go to www.thecore.com/seanruad and put Magheraculmoney into parish box, switch default setting to ANYWHERE in field then click submit you will see a list of all the townlands in that parish.

you could have a look at the census for 1901 and see if you can find something there.

I am going of the first name Alicia Crawford, Alicia age 18 living at 15 Derryadd, Derrylea, fermanagh in 1901
maybe Alicia is a family name

Thank you both for your responses.  I believe the name of the place may be Derryneeve, which I now see is not far from Edermy.   I have a copy of a letter writted by William Crawford in 1878 - he has started the letter with the name Dereneive. 
Its a surprise to find Alicia was born in 1866 as her mother would have been over 45, but it is possible.  The year of birth also fits better into this statement in his letter - Dear Sarah our youngest one Leasha bees often asking us what sort of girl you were. She would like to see you..  Sarah left Fermanagh in 1865 so would never have met Alicia who was born in 1866.


Thank you again

Thank you  so much for this link.  I have had a quick look and found William Crawford.   I also found some of my Cossart family who had land in Antrim - so am very pleased
