Hello- I have been trying to locate the above referenced townland in County Fermanagh. It appears in what I believe to be my ancestors in the 1821 census. I have been unsuccessful in locating it. My ancestors are William Story/Storey and his wife Elizabeth ( I hypothesize her maiden surname to be Lloyd or McLloyd). Any suggestions on where I might look? Thank you.

There is a Tullyharney townland in Derrybrusk civil parish just to the west of Aghalurcher civil parish. Townlands were not officially standardized until the 1851 census so possibly there was a realignment of parish boundaries post 1821.

Thank you. I am drawing from memory here as I sit in a car. But I believe the census said it was in Aghalurchar parish. I do appreciate your kind response!

The 1821 census does show A(u)ghalurcher parish but I'm suggesting that the townland in question may have been realighned into Derrybrusk civil parish sometime in the 19th century.
