It's always nice to hear from people with a connection to Fivemiletown. Thanks to Stephen Williamson for the photos from Colebrooke and Cavanaleck, and his message below.

"Revisited the gate lodge at the Enniskillen Road end of the Colebrook estate today. So sad to see it having fallen into an irreparable condition. Family connections as my mother spent her early childhood in this huse, as her father as the gamekeeper for the estate. Would have been in the early 1940s. Obviously no mo 'ney in renovating this gate house, unlike the one on the other side of the estate. So sad.
Also visited Cavanalack Presbyterian church, on a reminiscing sort of day. My mother was christened, went to Sunday school, and got married here. Now her spiritual resting place as well."

The name was listed in the public records as being the home or perhaps location in or around 1930 of a burial ground of a relative of of mine tia

I am looking for help with some genealogy questions. I am looking for info on a Charles McGuire/Maguire and /or info on his son Patrick McGuire. Charles came to East Machias, Maine, USA in 1837. He came from Fivemiletown, Tyrone. He was born in 1808 and his son Patrick was born in 1831. That is all the info I have. Thanks in advance for any help you can give.
