Researching my ancestors

DonegalBurt (Donegal)

My name is Kathie & I am trying to trace my ancestors who were from Fermanagh. William Crawford born 1725 (not certain ) & his wife Miss Booth born abt 1725 also. The only info I have is Derryneeve & Dernassesk but could find no info on this.

Derryneeve is just north of Kesh on the Castlederg Rd. Griffiths for 1862 has a William Crawford farming there on plot 1 with 31 acres. Presumably that?s your family

Dernasesk is probably Derrynashesk which is close to Derryneeve. No Booths listed there in Griffiths in 1862. Derrynashesk is just south of the Scraghey Rd from Pettigo to Castlederg. Just south of the border with Co Donegal.

Both Derryneeve and Derrynashesk are in the parish of Drumkeeran. Their earliest records are the church of Ireland which only start in 1801 so you may struggle to research in the 1700s.
