    1. Re: [CoTyIre] naming practices
    2. Hi Something else I meant to point out. It could "just" be my lines.....In my searching my gg grandfather Montgomery Armstrong , who lived in Tyrone Co....had a daughter Jessie Wright Armstrong. For the life of me I could not figure out where the name came from. Then.....through the "luck" of my searching I found Montgomery's grandparents in Scotland. ( Montgomery's father was William Armstrong b 1764 in Scotland). In my search I also found Montgomery's Aunts and Uncles...(William's brothers and sisters). YES I was overwhelmed lol. But in my search one of William's sisters "Isabella Armstrong" had married a William Wright....yes "Wright". Further search found they had a daughter......you guessed it...Jessie Wright! So in my search I learned Montgomery Armstrong had named his daughter after his cousin, or at least THAT is what I am assuming. I will never know the reasons ,.but I thought it was important to mention....that you NEVER know, and somewhere down the road you just may hit upon a clue. Whatever the reason...I believe names do tell a story all their own. Hopefully they help you, but don't give up hope. As I said...I treat EVERYTHING as a "clue". You never know. As the saying goes..."if I only knew then".....might've saved me some searching time lol. Again...Good Luck! Sue in NY PS...As far as middle names? My lines carried them even up to today. Copeland is MY middle name as it is my son's and some of my nieces and/or nephews. You never know! lol **************Psssst...Have you heard the news?
