I am looking for information on the STINSON family who resided in Derrygonnelly, County Fermanagh. They had a connection with the PARKER family from the village of Glenfarne in County Leitrim. JANE (unknown maiden name), who married WILLIAM PARKER, a farmer of Co. Leitrim, had a sister whose given name and maiden name are unknown to me, who married into the STINSON family of Co. Fermanagh. Names that I have associated with the STINSON family are ISABELLA STINSON, EMILY STINSON, possibly a JANE STINSON. I also have names of cousins of my husband's grandmother, ELIZABETH "LIZZIE" PARKER born in Co. Leitrim in 1888: CHARLIE STINSON, SADIE STINSON, EMILY STINSON and HARRIET STINSON. EMILY STINSON of County Fermanagh went to the USA, as did several of the PARKER children from County Leitrim. Some of the other STINSON children may have also migrated to the USA. The time period that they would have migrated would have been between 1875 and 1921. FREDDIE PARKER of Glenfarne, County Leitrim, a sibling of ELIZABETH "LIZZIE" PARKER above, was said to have married one of his STINSON cousins and was the only PARKER sibling to remain behind in Ireland. Can anyone help me unravel this puzzle? Does anyone recognize a connection to either of these two families?
