*Abercorn Estate* - Tenants Recorded for the Manor of *Cloghogle, Leckpatrick* Parish 1777 <http://www.cotyroneireland.com/estates/abercorn_tenants2.html>

Hello Listers, This 1858 item from Sydney, Australia may be interesting to a researcher: Sydney Morning Herald May 8 1858 JANE LOWRY, from Donagheady, county Tyrone; the Rev. JOHN BATES, at Dr. Moon's, 5 Barthurst-street [Sydney], is anxious to obtain some information respecting her. Len Swindley, Melbourne, Australia

Saw this on another list. If you're looking at originals in the Registry of Deeds in Dublin, or looking at the microfilmed records, you might want to contribute some indexing. Or you might want to see if any of your Tyrone folk are indexed. Note, the front page has an old date, so I don't know for sure that the project is ongoing--I didn't, on a quick review, see a link to latest updates / entries. And I didn't search for any names or locations -- having used the records in person without success for my own family (though obviously I didn't exhaust the possibilities), I don't hold out much hope that my family will be in the database. But that doesn't mean yours might not be! And if it's still active, I encourage you to add your indexed entries to the project. And/or to our own CTI website, of course! > http://irishdeedsindex.net/index.html Regards, Claire K CTI Admin

I accidentally sent this in reply to one person instead of the list! Reivers are pretty far back, though, and in the Scottish borders. Did they carry on their wicked ways in Ireland? ;-) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Border_Reivers There was an Andrew Armstrong, farmer, Bracky listed in this 1910 directory: http://www.libraryireland.com/articles/SixmilecrossDirectory1910/ Be sure to check with the visitor centers - when I was there years ago they had wonderful locally produced books for sale. There is (or was) a good bookstore in Omagh, too. Give yourself more time than you think you need!  Perhaps you will still find some family members there. Good luck! You will love the experience.  Kathleen P.S. I also have a marriage link through my Forsythe family to Armstrong - about 1930.  On Sun, Apr 26, 2015 at 1:42 PM, Shirley Smith via <cotyroneireland@rootsweb.com> wrote: Hello, Cate, you do know that Armstrongs were Reivers, don't you?  Shirley ---------- Original Message ---------- From: Cate Ryan via < cotyroneireland@rootsweb.com> To: mmarion < mmarion@rogers.com> Cc: COTYRONEIRELAND@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [CoTyIre] ARMSTRONG from Tyrone and a lot of questions Date: Sun, 26 Apr 2015 12:45:07 -0400 I'm researching Hopkins in Co Tyrone and their neighbors were Armstrongs - but not with your first names - perhaps relatives??  Barony of Upper Dungannon, Parish of Desertcreat, Townland Moymore (sometimes listed as Limehill).  First I see Thomas Armstrong and next door is David Armstrong.  Later Thomas is crossed out and Robert Armstrong takes over that land.  Then John Armstrong takes over Robert's land.  At one point I see John Armstrong, Jun. listed with the townland named as Lime Hill.  David Armstrong is the only name listed for his land on all records.  I'm sure Armstongs are all over Ireland!!!

I am planning a trip to Ireland in June. I would like to get as close as I can to where my Armstrongs are from. This is what I have ( I have gone through all my info again to be sure) and I need some help locating the spot in County Tyrone. Samuel (father) and William (son) Armstrong immigrate to Canada around 1862-1865. William lists 1865 in 1921 Canadian Census and 1862 in the 1911 Can. Census. William on his marriage cert says he is from County Tryone and he was born in July of 1852. He also says that on the 1911 Can. Census. When I look at the Griffith's Valuation- there is a Samuel and William Armstrong in County Tyrone. I think this might be my Samuel, and the William may be his brother or father. I don't think they would have counted a boy, since William son of Samuel was born in 1852. Am I right? Griffiths Valucation Record Information says that Samuel Armstrong was a tenant of James C. Lowry. County Tyrone Barony Omagh, East Union Omagh Parish Termonmaquirk Townland Bracky Place name Bracky Place Type Townland. Postion on Page 59 Printing date 1860 Act 15&16 Sheet Number 35,36 Map Reference 42 A,B, A Can I assume that the list of places goes from biggest to smallest. So I know that my Armstrong's are from the Townland of Bracky. I kind of assume that is like our townships in Canada. A small area that might have small towns, etc. Where is this place on a map today? Can I get to it when I visit? And finally, any advice about our visit. We are going for 10 days, will visit both Irelands, North and Republic. We are renting a car and staying in bed and breakfasts. My husband and I like scenic drives and not so touristy places. So neither of us will be kissing the Blarney Stone. Any help and advice is appreciated. Finally thawed out in Canada Maggie Marion

I am curious as to where you got the names Grimby,Grimsby, grimacy from. Is it possible that it has been a mistranscription of some sort. Have you seen an original record with this name in it? As to Rae, Rea have you looked on our wonderful website below? http://cotyroneireland.com/ There are Reas there. There are also variations of spelling.....Wray, Wrey.

Could also be Grimley. And for Rea, also look at McRea. My mother's maiden name is McElrea, but we have found variations of McIlrea, McElray, etc., as well as Mylrea - not to mention one family who changed their name to Wray when they emigrated to the US.

Hello Heidi, and List. You MIGHT obtain some information from “Lewis’s Topographical Dictionary of Ireland” dated 1837. Here is a hyperlink to it, free, online; courtesy of the wonderful people at askaboutireland who give us the magnificent Griffiths Valuation. It is now many years since I have used Lewis, but I think that it is alphabetical by name of parish and or town etc. Try volume 1, for Aughnacloy, hopefully. Note also that the third link on their page is to MAPS! yay! My memory is that many of the entries provide details of schools in the area, including ‘hedge-schools’ etc. Even if you don’t find what you are asking for here, I feel sure that you will enjoy all of the fascinating information which they provide for each location. A top-notch resource. Here is the link: http://www.askaboutireland.ie/reading-room/digital-book-collection/digital-books-by-subject/geography-of-ireland/lewis-a-topographical-dic/ Regards. ray in oz On 25 Apr 2015, at 5:10 pm, heidinrora via <cotyroneireland@rootsweb.com> wrote: Looking for more information about the Pikes in Aughnacloy.

Grimsby's were in Donaghmore in 1750 time period, Wm. Grimby left for Canada @ 17 in 1837. He had an older sister who I think married an Andrew Rea.(Rae) born in Scotland. Can't find that marriage .It was probably around 1800. Being that early probably was in a C of I.
