MAGUIRE/PATTERSON
My great great grandparents Thomas MAGUIRE 1782-1867 and Lucy PATTERSON 1806-1875 were apparently married in the Church of Ireland Diocese of Clogher in 1820.
According to Canadian death record, Lucy was born in "Inniskillen"
They emigrated aboard the Superior out of Londonderry in July of 1847 with children:
Margaret
Mary Ann 1823-1903
James 1826 (or 28) - 1863 According to Canadian cemetery record born in Enniskillen.
John 1838-1873
Susan 1841-1901
and one William Patterson, (presumed to be Lucy's brother)
"Residence before embarkation: Blacklion"
I would like to find the following:
What parish/church were Thomas and Lucy married in?
Who were their parents and/or siblings?
Where did they live, Enniskillen or Blacklion? And when did they live there?
Any information gratefully acknowledged with appropriate refreshments approximately June 1, when we will be in the Enniskillen area. (I notice the existence of a Maguire's bar in Blacklion. How appropriate is that?)

Maguire/Patterson update
Thomas and Lucy were married in Cornagee church, now the Mullaghdun Parish Church (C of I) about midway between Letterbreen and Belcoo in Co. Fermanagh. (Belcoo being just across the border from Blacklion, Co. Cavan. They probably bought their ticket in Blacklion.) They were the fifth couple to be married in the church.
They lived in the townland of Cleggan, a mile or so SW of the church.
Lucy (Patterson) Maguire is shown as coming from Cleggan, and Thomas Maguire is shown from "Derrybyon", Rossorry which is an obvious transcription error. Best guess at this stage is Drumlyon, Rossorry.
If anybody can advance this search, the aforementioned rewards still apply.
And if anybody is doing C of I Maguire research I'd be happy to share.
