Granery/Grannary

Hi,

Thank you for your message.

Do you have any other information that you can share?

Do you know that names of the 3 boys' parents? Do you have more specific dates for their departure? Do you know any other important family dates? (birth/marriage) Do you know their religion?

Have you looked at Church records for information? Most Catholic records are held locally. One website which may be helpful is the irishtimes where they give an overview of what records are available in specific parishes. For Drummully parish follow this link:

http://www.irishtimes.com/ancestor/fuses/rcparishmaps/index.cfm?fuseaction=showidrecords&CityCounty=Fermanagh&parish=Drumully&churchid=300

For Church of Ireland records check http://ireland.anglican.org/about/42 and http://www.nationalarchives.ie/.

You could check the land records pertaining to Ireland in the 19th century for record of them. There are two:

The Tithe Applotment Books (1823-1838) found at http://titheapplotmentbooks.nationalarchives.ie/search/tab/home.jsp

and Griffith's Valuation (1848-1864) found at http://www.askaboutireland.ie/griffith-valuation/  

As they were flax growers, you could check the Spinning Wheel Premium Entitlement Lists. This was part of a government scheme to encourage the linen trade, free spinning wheels or looms were granted to individuals planting a certain area of land with flax. The lists of those entitled to the awards, covering almost 60,000 individuals, were published in 1796.A microfiche index to the lists is available in the National Archives, and in PRONI. You can also search them oline here:

Have you looked into the boys emigration? Generally more information was given at the port of arrival rather than that of departure, so this may be a place to find more information. For Immigration records in Canada check the National Archives and Library at http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/index-e.html

Hi,

I have some information about James Grannary and Elizabeth Collins in Quebec, although you seem to have a bit more. I am a descendant of their son Terrence and have traced and translated quite a bit of information, but had not seen anywhere they were from Fermanagh, so I am guessing you have more information. 

I did find that James did go to Quebec and died there on the same day as his son Owen in what appears to be a cholera outbreak in Quebec City in the summer of 1849.

Please post back if you are still searching for information...
