I'm interested in finding out more about the family history of Wynnes and Guckians in Fenagh.
I have information about the marriage of my great-grandparentsPatrick Forde and Anna (Guckian) Wynne in 1846 in Fenagh. Patrick and Anna Forde lived in Mucros Beg. They had 11 children, and 6-8 emigrated to the US. Felix Forde was Patrick's brother and lived in an adjoining house.
Unfortunately, I don't have any information from Fenagh about the Wynnes and the Guckians. I am presuming that if a young man was courting a girl in 1846, she probably lived in or near his parish.
I would be very grateful for any assistance. I also am mindful that there are gaps in the records in the period I am researching.
Please contact me if you have information to share.
With gratutide,

You may want to check out www.titheapplotmentbooks.nationarchives.ie The records for Fenagh parish are from 1833. There were two Guckians and about 6 Wynnes. I also attached the 1857 Griffiths Valuation head of household listing for Fenagh civil parish. http://www.failteromhat.com/griffiths/leitrim/fenagh.htm
Roots Ireland has RC records for Fenagh parish from 1825 on with a gap from 1830-1833 for baptisms. Roots is a pay site to view actual records.
The Mormon Church also microfilmed the Fenagh records. You can order the film online at www.familysearch.org The film is sent to a local Family History Center where you can review the film. The link below indicates that the baptimsal gap is 1830-1842.
