Researching Bannons in Derryvullan

FermanaghDerryvullan (Fermanagh)

Fam 1)My 5xGreat Grandfather was James Bannon b. 1767 in Fermanagh m. Margaret ?? He died in New Haven, CT, US in 1858

Fam 2)My 4xGreat Grandfather James Bannon Jr b. 1800 in Fermanagh m. Margaret ?? died in New Haven c. 1856

Fam3) Brother Michael Bannon m. Bridget Cox in Fermanagh 1836 emigrated in late 1850s. Michael died c. 1860  *Daughter Margaret b. 1844 in Fermanagh m. John Frazier. Lived New Haven.    *Son Patrick Bannon b. 1839 Fermanagh emigrated to US  *Son John b. 1842 Fermanagh (not sure if he died young or stayed in Ireland)

Daughter of Fam2)

Margaret Bannon b. 1822 in Fermanagh emigrated c. 1842 married Thomas Preston also of Fermanagh in New Haven, CT in 1843

I knew that family was from Fermanagh and when searching records the best match is for names that show up in In 1835 Tithe Applotments

The following Bannons all in the townland of Cavancurragh in Derryvullen, Fermanagh .. many of the names match My family:
Hugh Bannon,James Bannon Sr and James Bannon Jr;  Michael Bannon, Patrick Bannon, Sarah Bannon, Thomas Bannon, William Bannon.

There was also a Maguire family that was somehow connected to My Bannons in New Haven.

Part of the 1821 census for Co Fermanagh has survived and that includes the parish of Derryvullen.  You might want to look at that. There?s a copy in PRONI (the public record office), Belfast (ref: MIC/5 & 15A). I am not aware if it?s on-line anywhere. Possibly not.

Rootsweb has the 1821 Fragments online but they do not have Cavancurragh

I assume since the list of townlands that they DO have is fairly long.. that it is a complete

list of the fragments that do exist... so I'm out of luck.

 

There are some Bannons but not mine.

 

I also saw that the LDS is in the process of filming the 1821 Census
