Hughes/Magee - Sheridan, Fermanagh

[TonyMcGartland]

Trying to locate a Michael Hughes b. 1834-1886 who married Rose Magee. I know nothing about Rose other than one of her children's births was registered by Susan Magee. They had six children between 1865 and 1876 and I can find no trace of them after birth.

Anyone any ideas please?

just for reference - the townland of Sheridan is in Co. Tyrone

I had a look for a possible marriage of Michael and Rose without success, civil and RC

[athacliath62]

found a probable marriage 11th February 1861 Kilskeery RC Tyrone, groom's surname transcribed as Aughes, image look like Hughes to me. Since it's an early RC marriage there's not much detail, just date, bride and groom and witnesses. Given the date I think there could be further children ..

No sign of any Hughes or McGee present at Sheridan on the 1901 census

based on the children's births, the family moved to Irvinstown (frmly Lowtherstown) in Fermanagh in the early 1870s

Thank you do much for this, I'm sure it was not an easy thing to find.
