Hello Ellis,

Thank you for responding to my posting. I do have the 1901 Census of our Parker line. It's the one from Annagh Townland. Lizzie Parker is our line. All the siblings went to the US, but Frederick "Freddie". I don't have any birth date for Gordon Parker, nor do I have a marriage date for Freddie. The Stinsons were cousins of my husband's grandmother, Lizzie Parker. I believe that Lizzie's mother, Jane had a sister, who married a Stinson, and that Freddie may have married his first cousin. I have been searching for a number of years, but with no luck. There are Stinsons in the neighboring county of Fermanagh (Sp?). However, I don't know if this is their connection or not. Some of the given names I recall the family mentioning are Isabelle/Isabella, Henry, Fannie & Harriet Stinson. Jane Parker, the mother, had the maiden name of Stephenson, which I have learned could also be spelled as Stinson. There may be some kind of connection with her maiden name too. But as I!
mentioned, I haven't had any luck in finding the correct Stinson line or in having anyone responding who recognizes that Frederick & Gordon Parker are their line. The Parker family lived in the tiny village of Glenfarne in Co. Leitrim, which was not far from the border of Co. Fermanagh (Sp?). A Fannie Stinson was witness to the birth of Lizzie Parker. Thank you again for taking the time to do look-ups. I appreciate you doing so.
