Fermanagh is the home of the Maguires so tracing Elizabeth is almost impossible without some other data - parents, siblings, approx. year of birth. Lunny again is a name I have encountered but you would need more data to identify his roots.
Earl of Enniskillen was a Cole. If Elizabeth was a governess she may have worked at Florence Court the Cole residence, but I would be sceptical of any family connection. At that time the class of family would pretty much marry within their own social class - peerage/landed gentry.
