Fetherstonhaugh (Carrick and Glenmore)
The Fetherstonhaughs of Carrick, county Westmeath, descend from Thomas Fetherstonhaugh, who married Mary Sherlock. Their eldest son William was ancestor of the Carrick line and their fourth son was ancestor of the Fetherstons baronets of Ardagh. The Carrick branch of the Fetherstonhaughs had family connections with the Wills of Willsgrove, county Roscommon, the Ormes of Abbeytown, Crossmolina and the Perkins of Ballybroony, county Mayo. Godfrey Fetherstonhaugh (born 1793), a younger brother of William of Carrick, acquired the property of the Ormes of Glenmore in the county Mayo parishes of Crossmolina, Kilfian and Moygawnagh in the Encumbered Estates' Court. He was also in possession of the two townlands in the parish of Moygawnagh previously held by Andrew Browne, Mount Hazel, county Galway. His grandson, another Godfrey Fetherstonhaugh of Glenmore and Dublin, was a Member of Parliament for North Fermanagh 1906-1916. In 1876 Godfrey Fetherstonhaugh owned 9,261 acres in county Mayo and 1,016 acres in county Westmeath. The elder brother, William Fetherstonhaugh (born 1783) married Elizabeth Orme and had six sons, including Godfrey of Ballinderry, Mullingar and Henry of Carrick Lodge, Mullingar and three daughters. Their eldest son William married Alicia Berry of Eglish Castle, King's County (Offaly) and they had three sons and five daughters. At the time of Griffith's Valuation (publ. 1854) William Fetherstonhaugh's estate was in the parishes of Ardnurcher and Carrick. In the 1870s William Fetherstonhaugh of Carrick owned 871 acres. When William died in 1879 he was succeeded by his grandson Francis Bryan Fetherstonhaugh.
