Has anyone had any luck finding an actual place of origin/birth place in County Armagh by viewing 1877 death registrations for Simcoe County or any other part of Ontario? Death registration seems the most sensible place to start. Family lore simply states "County Armagh". This covers lots of places. Any suggestions welcome.

If you know the county, sometimes the rest is easy if they were born when church records are available. They have all been filmed and are at PRONI plus the National Library of Ireland in Dublin. Also, the Amagh Ancestry Centre has the records and in the computer and can do a fairly quick lookup (took them 5 weeks to get the info back to me, however).
