Five SCOTT siblings from Fermanagh orphaned in Australia 1842

FermanaghAghalurcher (Fermanagh)

SCOTT family emigrated to AUS in 1842 via 'Manlius'. Plague onboard. Parents Robert & Janette SCOTT (b.abt 1805) both died. Children: Margaret (b. 1828), Jane Ann (b.1828), Robert (b.1830), Eliza (b.1832), Henry (b.1834) landed in Port Phillip AUS, sent to orphanage. New information identifies children's birthplace as Cooneen Townland, Fermanagh. All were protestant. I am trying to identify baptism records and have been in touch with the Rector, Colebrooke and Cooneen with Mullaghfad with no success. He suggested that I try surrounding parishes, but I have no idea what these would be. Seem to be several posibilities and without knowing the area I would be guessing. Any assistance would be appreciated.

regards

Fivemiletown C of I in Co Tyrone. It is a "natural" focus point for the townlands in the extreme East Aghalurcher.

There is also a Presbyterian Church not that far from Fivemiletown.
