    You don?t say what denomination your family were. I note from the 1901 census that there were 4 Wilson households in Dunnamona in 1901:

    3 were Presbyterian and 1 RC. No Livingstones by that year. If Presbyterian, the family may have attended Fintona Presbyterian church. Unfortunately their marriage and baptism records only start in 1836; the RC ones in 1857.

     

    There?s 1 will for the Livingstone family on the PRONI wills site. Here?s the abstract (summary):

     

    Full Abstract :

    The revaluation records show that George Livingston left plait 15 in 1867, Thomas L had plot 16 till 1879 when it changed to Robert, then to Thomas in 1880 and he had left by 1882. Plot 17 was James until 1876 when it changed to Thomas. It was land only after that held by Eliza Livingtson. who was gone by 1900. Robert Wilson held the same farm throughout the period 1865 ? 1901.
