Searching for descendants of Cornelius Maguire, b.abt 1766 & Mary Gatons, b. abt 1775. Both born/baptised at Kinoghtra, Co. Fermanagh. They married abt 1795, at Kinoghtra.

There are possibly 5 or more children of this marriage.

Known child is my Great Great Grandfather Robert Cornelius, b. abt 1795, Agharainey Kesh , who married Rosannah McManus abt the 5 Jul 1826 Muckross Kesh. They had 12 children, seven born in Ireland, three of whom either died before the family left Ireland in1841, or were left with relatives as too young or too delicate to travel. Robert was a shepherd, Rosannah was a dairymaid.

Their children were:
James, b.1827, Ireland; John, b.14 Feb 1829 Ireland; Unknown, b. abt 1830 Ireland; Patrick, b.24 Jan 1832 Ireland; Unknown, b.abt 1834 Ireland; Mary Ann, b.1837 Ireland; Unknown, b.abt 1838 Ireland; Ann(e)[ or Hannah], b.28 May 1841 Ireland; Felix (Phelix) b.27 Mar 1843 Australia; Robert, b.25 May 1846 Australia; Thomas, b1847 Australia (my Great Grandfather); Rozana (Rosey) b.30 Mar 1849 Australia.

I am coming back to Ireland in September for one month and am interested in contacting anyone who has any information about this family in Fermanagh, and more interested in meeting any family members still living in the area.
