Place names of Fermanagh, Ireland
« on: Monday 22 April 19 07:32 BST (UK) »
Looking for someone to help me decipher these places in Fermanagh Ireland. My 2nd great grand father, James Collins (born about 1808)stated on his shipping record, that he was from Maheracoolenoney Fermanagh I think this could be the Parish of Magheraculmoney. Also a town? on his record as Coolmangh and I am at a complete loss on what this could be. I am looking for his birth and marriage records but need to know what part of Fermanagh he was from.Could any one help please.

Give a man a record and you feed him for a day.
Teach a man to research, and you feed him for a lifetime.
