Prior to 1856 this parish consisted of three groups of townlands. The two most southerly groups being more or less in the vicinity of Derryvullan Parish Church, the Curate of which seems not infrequently to have been also Rector of Dorrybrusk. There the parishioners of these two groups no doubt, attended, at least until the chapel of ease at Lisbellaw was built in Cleenish Parish in 1764. The most northerly group of townlands lay in the vicinity of Tempo Chapel of -.Ease in Enniskillen Parish, and not far from the previous Chapel of Ease at Pubble. However in this group there was a schoolhouse in the townland of Ballyreagh, in which the Re/. George Harris, Rector 1810-1847, celebrated Divine Service once a month. He was also Chaplain of Enniskillan gaol.
On the 10th Sep., 1856, the Parish was largely reconstituted, and further alterations were made shortly before Disestablishment. In fact the modern parish contains only two tomilands, those of Gola and Aghnajara, which were in the ancient one. The site of ancient parish church and all the churchlands surrounding it have been in Derryvollan parish sinse 1856.
