I'm in search of information about the origins of my great great grandmother, Rose Corrigan. She was born in 1817 in Fermanagh. Her father's first name is unknown to me. Her mother's maiden name was Nancy Little. She married William Burns, with whom she had two sons and five daughters. In 1851, they were living in Derrymacausey. Her death was registered in Lisnaskea, in December of 1880.

Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!
Derrymacausey townland is in Kinawley civil parish. The RC records for Kinawley start in 1835 and the records for the two neigboring parishes (Knockinny and Kilesher) start in 1855. So likely no baptismal record for Rose is available. The marriage would have occurred in Rose's parish but when I check the subscription site FindMyPast, I can't find a record. What year was the oldest child born?
Roger McDonnell
Thanks so much for responding. Rose's first child was born April 15, 1836. Hopefully that's a help.
Sincerely,
Pat Miller
Pat:
Can you give me some of the childrens's names? I'm on FindMyPast and it would help the search process if I had a name or two.
Roger
Roger, the children's names and birth years are as follows:
Jane - 1836
Owen - 1839
Mary J. - 1843
Catherine - 1849
Rose - 1850
Anne - 1853
William J. - 1860
Thanks, and let me know what else you might need.

Pat:
I searched on FindMyPast and did not see any of the baptismal records. I also went to the Kinawley parish register and the April 15th baptismal record for Jane is not there.

So likely the family attended one of the nearby parishes that does not have records back to the 1830s/1840s.
Roger
Thanks for checking, Roger. Any ideas about what parishes those might be?
Sincerely,
Pat
