Hello again Francesca, Jim McKane has suggested taking a look at https://www.culturenorthernireland.org/article/1185/a-brief-history-of-ardboe for a reference to Munterevlin.
Place Names of Northern Ireland is essential for locating obsolete sub denominations and long-forgotten placenames http://www.placenamesni.org/resultdetails.php?entry=20934 and Munterevlin is mentioned in Arboe parish in 1609 at the time of the Plantation. Apparently mentioned in Ordnance Survey Memoirs c1835, but not in either the Arboe tithe applotment Book (1826) or Griffiths Valuation (c1860), so obviously declared obsolete and had fallen out of use by that time. There are many Quinns recorded in the tithe book, including several with the given name of Felix. So then went to the online Arboe RC registers of baptisms https://www.cotyroneireland.com/churchrecord/arboe-rc3.html There are three Felix Quinns recorded and their townland of residence, but none born in 1850. Perhaps your forebear took the knowledge of an old native place of birth, known only locally with him when he emigrated?

Referring to the Alphabetical Index to the Townlands and Towns, Parishes and Baronies of Ireland (compiled in 1851 and still current), it is not recorded in any of the twenty-six counties, North or South. How accurate do you believe your record to be?

I have his birthdate as April 7, 1850. He died in New York in 1896. I’ve probably spent over 60 hours pouring through documents or old microfiche but to no avail. He was Roman Catholic. I do know that but I still can’t find anything. Any ideas? Thanks so much, Francesca Piantadosi _______________________________________________ CoTyroneList Mailing List Mailing List Email Address: [email protected] Change Your Preferences: http://cotyroneireland.com/mailman/listinfo/cotyronelist_cotyroneireland.com Mailing List Archive: https://goo.gl/mQCKrY _______________________________________________ CoTyroneList Mailing List Mailing List Email Address: [email protected] Change Your Preferences: http://cotyroneireland.com/mailman/listinfo/cotyronelist_cotyroneireland.com Mailing List Archive: https://goo.gl/mQCKrY
