George Johnston, where from?

Can anyone tell me where in county Fermanagh George was from.? I am not certain.
George and his wife Hannah and their two children George and Hugh had  assisted passage to Australia in 1849.
Thank you

There may be trouble with the shrunken link, so try this.

This takes us to an Anvestry sign in site.  So unless we have Ancestry membership we cannot help.  Is the record on Family Search?  Are you trying to decipher handwriting? If so then a good sized snip copied here  may be useful and help us help you.   :)

Hi AlanBoyd, I was thinking the spelling was same as you.
Shanreagh, I don’t know how to produce a snippet, but I did find the record on FamilySearch and here is the link-

Oops, that didn’t work either. Appears he emigrated from England in 1849 but he was from Ireland. AlanBoyd produced the snippet.
