Hi all,

Thanks all for the info so far.  I never posted against last night as I dropped off to sleep (long day at work) and today although I printed off the thread to make notes on this is the first chance I have had to respond.

I noted that a couple may have been married about 1740 are there no registers around then anywhere ?

As Archibald Henderson was a farmer and left the farm to his wife and daughter in the will is there any way to find out the name of the farm and whereabouts it was?

Thanks

Neil.

some earlier replies said it was parcel 12 in Drumduff Townland.

for a map, go here
http://www.askaboutireland.ie/griffith-valuation/

find Archibald Henderson in Drumduff, whatever parish it was, Co Fermanagh, then click on the map button at the end of the row.

Did Patrick Mulholland's 1876 marriage record say if his father John was deceased?

Located the entry.

Located the map but doesn't have Drumduff shown.

That's pretty cool ... I like it - Thanks

I'll be digging out the marriage cert once the wife goes to bed

Turns out there are maybe three Drumduff Townlands in Fermanagh.
Start here:
http://griffiths.askaboutireland.ie/gv4/single_layer/i8.php?lat=&longt=&dum=0&sheet=11&mysession=2622952210212&info=&place=&county=FERMANAGH&placename=DRUMDUFF&parish=DERRYVULLAN&country=Ireland&union=&barony=LURG

move the slider to "modern map", find Irvinestown, then Forthill, north of Irvinestown. Put finger on screen just north of the last "l" in Forthill, and move the slider to historical map. That should put you pretty close to Drumduff.

Here is another map to help get your bearings.

I took a screenshot of most of the townland, including Parcel 12. Too large to attach. I put it here:

Download it, because I probably won't leave it there forever.

Do you know if Patrick Mulholland had siblings? If so, what information do you have on them?
A tree at familysearch says he had a brother Joseph, born about 1847, but no sources provided. Is that so?
They had Joseph's wife's name and a location for them other than Ireland (Scotland? England?, I forget), but I didn't keep it because there were no sources to back it up.

The png comes up forbidden.

I was looking at a map and the Griffiths and I had guessed it was that one :)

One of these days if we ever get a chance I might take the wife over to Ireland and see if we can see it.


According to my Family Tree Maker I have no siblings recorded for Patrick Mullholland, but that doesn't mean he didn't have any.

Just means looking at the registers to see if any can be found.

It worked from my desktop. But now not from my tablet. I’ll fix it or move it when I get back to the computer. Thanks for telling me.
