Barbers of Bunevalley

This is the birthplace of my father. It is a farm of 160 acres within the townland of Mullaghnaneane (Muninane) in Drumcliffe Parish. Here is a photo of his parents, William and Elizabeth Anne Dundas Barber at the time of their wedding in 1894 and also seated in the front yard of their home about 1930. Elizabeth was born at Bolusty, Co. Fermanagh. William is about 84 years of age in this photo. It is believed that William moved from Rahelly to this house at Bunevalley in 1894 after his marriage to Elizabeth. William was born on 25 July 1846. His father, Thomas Barber, was born 3 May 1811 at Rahelly, Drumcliffe Parish. Thomas died 8 October 1892 at Rahelly. Thomas's wife, Elizabeth Likely was from Kinlough in Co. Leitrim. She pre-deceased him in December 1891.
